  • Regenerative agriculture in the UK

    Open AccessUlrike Ehgartner, Steffen HirthARTICLEJournal of Rural Studies2026

    Regenerative agriculture (RA) has been promoted as a transformative approach to sustainable land management, even as its meaning remains fluid, with livestock integration often considered as a central principle. Drawing on interviews with UK food system stakeholders, we apply a critical discourse analysis, revealing how livestock functions as a key organising reference point in the RA discourse, through three dominant, partially overlapping narra…

  • Exploring cultural futures

    Open AccessUlrike Ehgartner, Danny Welch et al.ARTICLEFutures2024References: 29

    This paper discusses the applicability of the cultural sociologist Ann Mische’s (2009) nine “dimensions of projectivity”, or modes of orientation to the future, as methodological tools for narrative analysis to identify cultural formations of future orientation. Future orientation is understood here on the level of cultural regularities, rather than individual cognition. The paper discusses the exploratory process of operationalising Mische’s dim…

Abstract notions of absence, nothingness and loss are becoming increasingly intriguing p…

  • On the obsolescence of human beings in sustainable development

    Ulrike Ehgartner, Patrick J Gould et al.ARTICLEGlobal Discourse2017Cited by: 9References: 2

    In 1956, the Jewish-German philosopher Günther Anders developed a philosophical anthropology on the technological and moral challenges of his time. Anders suggested the societal changes that arose with the industrial age opened a gap between the capability of individuals to produce machines and their ability to imagine and deal with the consequences caused by this capability. He argues that a ‘Promethean gap’ manifests in academic and scientific …
