The literature on biopolitical production largely presumes that contemporary capital is parasitic, enclosing and capturing value that is autonomously and collectively produced across the urban landscape. In contrast, this article suggests that in particular contexts, planners—acting largely as surrogates for urban real estate capital—play an active role in the production of the urban commons for the sake of future enclosure. Using contemporary Chicago as a point of reference, it argues that such commons are (generally) produced in locales of racialized “ontological devaluation”—in spaces that have been historically marginalized under racial capitalism. Further still, this article develops a theoretical concept, the “biopolitical commons,” to name those spaces and practices that are produced for the sake of future racialized biopolitical accumulation—pulling together, in the process, research on biopolitical production and “abolition ecology.” Finally, this article concludes by posing a series of questions for future research on the biopolitical commons.

生物政治共同体：生物政治生产时代的城市土地修订理论

关于生物政治生产的文献在很大程度上假设当代资本是寄生的，封闭并捕捉在整个城市景观中自主和集体产生的价值。相反，本文建议，在特定情况下，规划师（主要充当城市房地产资本的代言人）在城市公地的生产中起着积极的作用，以备将来之用。它以当代芝加哥为参照，认为这样的公地（通常）是在种族化的“本体论贬值”的地方-通常在种族资本主义下被边缘化的空间中-产生的。此外，本文还提出了一种理论概念，即“生物政治共同点”，”，以命名为将来种族化的生物政治积累而产生的空间和实践-在此过程中，将对生物政治生产和“废除生态学”的研究汇总在一起。最后，本文最后提出了一系列问题，供以后对生物政治共同体进行研究。
