As every translation goes, something is lost and something can be found.The theory of urban commons, far from being completeor exhaustive, has been also linked to the inflated slogan of the right to the city.This article illustrates how and why the concepts of commons, right to the city and urbancommons are linked together. This insight will allow to understand the differences between these conceptsand, therefore, will point out their complexities and contradictions.Urbancommons are addressed through the theoretical frame of the concept of commons, studied by Hardin and Ostrom, through the notions of habitand performance as articulated by Hardt and Negri and through the metaphor of thethreshold developed by Stavrides.The conclusion of the article highlights the relational nature of the urbancommons, and thefindings outline their relation with the concepts of process, time and fugitive democracy.

La nozione di commons è stata tradotta, nelle ultime due decadi, dal campo di studio delle risorse naturali alla dimensione urbana. Come per ogni traduzione si perde qualcosa e si trova qualcos'altro. La teoria degli urban commons, ancora lontana dal presentarsi come completa o esaustiva, viene frequentemente accostata all'inflazionato slogan del dirittto alla città. Questo articolo vuole illustrare come e perché i concetti di commons, diritto alla città e urban commons sono collegati fra loro. Questo studio permetterà di evidenziarne le differenze e dunque di percepirne le complessità e le contraddizioni. La teoria degli urban commons verrà inquadrata attarverso la cornice teorica del concetto di commons, studiato da Hardin e Ostrom, attraverso le nozioni di abitudine e performance articolate da Hardt e Negri e infine attraverso la metafora della soglia sviluppata da Stavrides. Nelle conclusioni dell'articolo verra evidenziata la natura strettamente relazionale degli urban commons, e verranno proposte delle relazioni fra questa teoria e i concetti di processo, tempo e democrazia sfuggente. ; The notion of commons has been translated, in the last two decades, from the field of natural resources to the urban dimension. As every translation goes, something is lost, and something can be found. The theory of urban commons, far from being complete or exhaustive, has been also linked to the inflated slogan of the right to the city. This article will try to illustrate how and why the concepts of commons, right to the city and urban commons are linked together. This insight will allow us to understand the differences between these concepts and, therefore, will point out any complexities and contradictions. Urban commons will be addressed through the theoretical frame of the concept of commons, studied by Hardin and Ostrom, through the notions of habit and performance as articulated by Hardt and Negri, and through the metaphor of the threshold developed by Stavrides. The conclusion of the article will highlight the relational nature of the urban commons, and the findings will outline their relation with the concepts of process, time and fugitive democracy.
