Reframing ecological modernity from below
Ariel Salleh is one of those authors that I often feel the need to go back, because her arguments – no matter when and where they come from – are always clarifying, refreshing, and enriching. The r

The Point Is to Change It”
Trabalho e crise ecológica
Este artigo oferece uma crítica intelectual da ecologia política marxista desenvolvida na Europa Ocidental entre 1970 e 2000, concentrando-se na relação trabalho/ecologia. Minha crítica se baseia na intersecção de dois níveis de análise: (1) a evolução histórica do ambientalismo dos trabalhadores, focando no que chamarei do dilema ecomodernista do trabalho; (2) o significado da política de classe em relação à política do meio ambiente, com foco e…
Caring Communities for Radical Change
In this chapter, we share the insights of feminist political ecology (FPE) for degrowth, building from the debates on “caring communities for radical change” at the 8th International Degrowth Conference in August 2021. We discuss how FPE links to the principles of degrowth as an academic and activist movement and why it is necessary to take feminist political ecology perspectives on care and caring communities in resisting, questioning, and count…
Dimensions of repair work
Reflecting on the necessary, though risky path of overcoming dualistic thinking about repair and care work, I develop analytical distinctions between different kinds of repair work, reflecting gendered, racial, and spatial divisions of labour, as well as distinct forms of ecological consciousness and agency
Not victims, but fighters
While it is known that women have a strong presence in struggles for Environmental Justice, there is a lack of knowledge about their role in them, particularly in struggles opposing mining projects. We aim to fill this gap by undertaking the first global systematization of the available data on women's anti-mining activism, using a multi-case perspective. We analyze 151 mining conflicts identified through the Environmental Justice Atlas, examinin…

A Reprodução Social como perspectiva metodológica para análise contextualizada das condições de vida e de saúde
Este artigo objetiva discutir o uso da categoria Reprodução Social, proposta por Juan Samaja, na análise sobre condições de vida e de saúde em um contexto de uma unidade de conservação ambiental da Amazônia brasileira. Trata-se de um estudo de abordagem compreensiva sobre os processos da reprodução social que integram a rede de determinação hierarquicamente organizada por meio da análise de interações sociais dos acontecimentos narrados e observá…
Social Reproduction as a methodological perspective for contextualized analysis of living and health conditions
This article aims to discuss the use of Social Reproduction, proposed by Juan Samaja, in the analysis of living and health conditions in a context of an sustanaible development reserve in the Brazilian Amazon. This study uses a comprehensive approach to Social Reproduction processes that comprise the network of hierarchically organized structures using the analysis of social interactions of narrated and observable events, applied to the data matr…
Ecofeminist Horizons
Decolonial political ecology embodies far more than mere critique. Rather, decolonial political ecologies allow us to advance transformative proposals, to articulate sophisticated reflections on emancipatory practices, and, above all, to re-imagine future scenarios and horizons. These imagined horizons were articulated by three women from different social contexts: Bernadete Souza Ferreira Santos, a ialorixá peasant and specialist in Rural Educat…
Forces of Reproduction
The concept of Anthropocene has been incorporated within a hegemonic narrative that represents 'Man' as the dominant geological force of our epoch, emphasizing the destruction and salvation power of industrial technologies. This Element will develop a counter-hegemonic narrative based on the perspective of earthcare labour – or the 'forces of reproduction'. It brings to the fore the historical agency of reproductive and subsistence workers as tho…
Les forces de reproduction
En fondant historiquement la critique du capitalisme industriel sur la division sexuelle et coloniale du travail à l'échelle mondiale et en en montrant ainsi le caractère foncièrement patriarcal, racialiste et spéciste, l'écoféminisme socialiste se veut une réflexion théorique et pratique centrée sur les « forces de reproduction » de la vie qu'incarnent principalement les femmes majoritairement vouées à des tâches domestiques dites non productive…
Forças de reprodução. O ecofeminismo socialista e a luta para desfazer o Antropoceno
O artigo parte do pressuposto de que a crise ecológica planetária (o chamado Antropoceno) está relacionada com um rearranjo radical das interações entre a sociedade e a biosfera, gerado pela modernidade capitalista/industrial. Esta última considera as “forças de produção” (ciência e tecnologia industrial) como o principal fator de progresso e bem-estar, ao mesmo tempo que considera a reprodução (tanto humana como não-humana) enquanto um instrumen…
Towards a Political Economy of Degrowth
Since the 1970s, the degrowth idea has been proposed by scholars, public intellectuals and activists as a powerful call to reject the obsession of neoliberal capitalism with economic growth, an obsession which continues apace despite the global ecological crisis and rising inequalities. In the past decade, degrowth has gained momentum and become an umbrella term for various social movements which strive for ecologically sustainable and socially j…
Toxic Bios
In this article, we present Toxic Bios, a public environmental humanities (EH) project that aims to coproduce, gather, and make visible stories of contamination and resistance. To explain the rationale of the project and its potentialities, first we offer a brief reflection on the field of the EH and its (possible) contribution to environmental justice research, then, we illustrate the guerrilla narrative strategy experimented through the project
The Labor(s) of Degrowth
The degrowth debate so far has lacked a clear vision of what social subjects, and which processes of political subjectivation, can turn its vision into a political strategy. In this contribution to the debate on degrowth and eco-socialism, I point to the place of labor in the politics of socio-ecological revolution, arguing that degrowth should aim for a truly democratic, workers' controlled production system, where alienation is actively counter…
Working-class ecology and union politics
This paper argues that Environmental Labour Studies may benefit from incorporating the perspective of environmental justice. We offer a theorization of working-class ecology as the place where working-class communities live and work, being typically affected by environmental injustice, and of working-class environmentalism as those forms of activism that link labour and environmental struggles around the primacy of reproduction. The paper’s theor…
A saúde no contexto de uma reserva de desenvolvimento sustentável
O objetivo deste artigo é analisar as condições de vida e saúde de ribeirinhos de oito comunidades da Reserva Mamirauá, a partir da categoria de análise da Reprodução Social de Juan Samaja. Seu método é descritivo, e foram utilizados questionário estruturado, observação direta e análise documental. A pesquisa identificou baixo envolvimento dos ribeirinhos em relação ao controle social e ao apoio comunitário, o que indica problemas na interação bi…

Anti-Nuclear Mobilisation and Environmentalism in Europe
The article addresses the rise of anti-nuclear mobilisation in Portugal in the 1970s against the backdrop of similar movements across Western Europe. After performing a brief review of the literature on social mobilisation against nuclear energy, an overview is provided of the available sociological literature on environmental mobilisation in Portugal, mostly developed in a comparative southern-European perspective. The second section adds new em…
Greening the job
The green economy, as developed in mainstream economic and political discourse, is constituted by three agencies: nature, capital and labour. While scholars have paid due attention to the first two, little consideration has been given so far to organized labour and to the working class (broadly defined) as those most affected by the process of greening the economy. Trade unions and organized labour, different groups of workers and working-class c…
Telling the Right Story
Half a century ago, Silent Spring showed the world how violence against living and non-living matter, by way of petrochemcial contamination, is related to violence against humans. This is a fundamental lesson of twentieth century environmental thinking, I argue, that environmental historians should carry with them into the twenty-first. The first part of the paper draws attention on the category of environmental violence. I argue that environment…
Laboring the Earth
This article explores the intersection of work and nature in environmental history, and it reflects on possible new paths of investigation. More specifically, it focuses on physical labor performed in agriculture and industry-especially in the last two centuries-questioning how experiences in farming, mining, and manufacturing historically have shaped the relationship between working-class people and their environments. Based on secondary literat…

Enclosing the River
The 'tragedy of the commons' narrative states the eco-efficiency of private property, but this is basically a theoretical assumption, nor it is supported by the environmental history of the industrial era. The Liri valley story, located at the periphery of the industrial revolution, provides an excellent opportunity for investigating the environmental impact of privatisation in water resources, and its social costs. The article also shows how, in…

Energy, property, and the industrial revolution narrative
Introdução
A questão ambiental tem sido representada no discurso dominante como questão universal, afetando todo o mundo (e ninguém diretamente). Mas a realidade é mais complexa: o ambiente apresenta-se de facto como campo de disputas e conflitos pela profunda desigualdade na forma como os problemas ambientais, da escala local à global, afetam diferentes grupos humanos e áreas geográficas, bem como as outras formas de vida. É a partir desta constatação que …
