Arbeitskämpfe, Raum und sozial-ökologische Transformation
In dem Artikel bringen wir Environmental Labour Studies und Labour Geography in einen Dialog, um daraus eine ökologische Arbeitsgeografie zu entwickeln. Wir argumentieren, dass Naturverhältnisse und die ökologische Krise widersprüchliche, durch Arbeiter*innen mit-produzierte Räume sind. Am Beispiel der Automobilindustrie schlagen wir drei Konzepte vor, um diese Arbeitsprozesse zu fassen: 1. entfremdete, räumlich situierte Stoffwechsel, 2. ökologi…
Opening Conversations with Marxist Feminists
Marxism-feminism is a vital field with diverse voices and different political agendas for social justice, from the defense of land and water to the reorganization of production. The anthology Marxist-Feminist Theories and Struggles Today aims to grasp the originality and relevance of that tradition. The book represents a variety of contributions, defined as Marxist feminist by their authors, who presented papers at the Marxist Feminist Congress i…

Trade union perceptions of the labour - nature relationship
This paper is based on research with environmentally engaged trade unionists in India. It follows their trajectories into the trade union and explores their environmental engagements. A short presentation of the history of Indian trade unionism, aims to understand its ‘multi-unionism’. Analysing three exemplary life-histories of unionists, their motivations to engage in unions and their relationships to workers and to poor people, three models of…
Marxist-Feminist Theories and Struggles Today
This vital new collection presents new Marxist-Feminist analyses of Capitalism as a gendered, racialized social formation that shapes and is shaped by specific nature-labour relationships. Leaving behind former overtly structuralist thinking, Marxist-Feminist Theories and Struggles Today interweaves strands of ecofeminism and intersectional analyses to develop an understanding of the relations of production and the production of nature through th…
Environmental Policies and The Reproduction of Business as Usual
This paper aims to advance knowledge about corporate environmentalism by using new concepts and methods. We broaden the concept of the firm as "differentiated composite actor" by including not only managers but workers and unionists as actors. We descend into the "hidden abode of production" using Lefebvre’s concept of "everyday life" to explore the barriers environmental policies experience in this sphere. We base our explorations on life-histor…
Beyond the nature–labour divide
We present the life histories of two environmentally engaged unionists in South Africa, who were decisive for formulating the environmental programmes of their respective trade unions. Their experiences of participating in the resistance against apartheid in universities and factories taught them the necessity to connect different struggles and equipped them with the knowledge and ability to connect the fight for workers’ rights with the fight ag…
The labour–nature relationship
This special issue is a contribution to environmental labour studies, which aims to investigate the practices and theories that integrate labour and nature, by focusing on labour environmentalism. While nature is privately appropriated and exploited by Capital, workers’ organizations tend to construct nature as labour’s other, a place to enjoy or a place to be protected from destruction at best. In the following introductory article to this speci…
Disconnected spaces
This article compares how visions for integrating environmental issues into the union agenda are articulated from two different positions in the Swedish Trade Union Confederation (LO). The article is based on an analysis of ‘life history interviews’ and directs attention to the biographical circumstances under which individuals are able to work with environmental issues in unions. The analysis shows that the conditions for integrating environment…
The Space of Civil Society and the Practices of Resistance and Subordination
We argue that the majority of civil society conceptualizations employ a narrow concept of the state and a narrow concept of civil society. The life history of a Brazilian woman demonstrates that as individuals travel through state institutions and civil society organizations (CSOs), they carry conflicting worldviews with them which bear on the practices of CSOs. With Gramsci we recognize civil society as a space where movements and the state stru…

L'engagement écologique des syndicats au prisme de la division Nord-Sud
Les syndicats du Nord sont mieux dotés, plus riches, plus industrialisés et tendanciellement plus éloignés de l'environnement que leurs homologues du Sud, sans que cette observation soit une règle absolue. Placés dans des conditions plus difficiles, moins dépendants de l'industrie pour leur mode de vie, les syndicats du Sud adoptent plus facilement des positions de rupture envers l'ordre capitaliste. Les alliances avec les écologistes se trouvent…

The Injuries of the Margins and the Restorative Power of the Political
This paper presents some ways in which young people of a migrant background in Sweden handle their marginalisation at a time of transition from school to higher education. The stories of two young men are discussed, who develop opposing strategies to cope with the double bind created by a society that promotes meritocracy but acts on the basis of racialised exclusionary practices. One is forced into the position of ‘immigrant’ while wanting to be…
Transformative environmental education
This paper puts forward an alternative view on sustainable development, arguing that the separation between the economy, the environment and the social in the Brundtland model obscures the societal character of the economy, the economic bases of the social, and the fact that the environment is a societal product. We differentiate between strong and weak sustainability, arguing that the threat of environmental degradation can only be addressed at …

Rassismustheorien
Schwarze Feministinnen in Britannien und den USA führten den Begriff Rassismus in die feministische Debatte ein (vgl. Davis 1983, hooks 1981, Carby 1982). Weiße Feministinnen verhielten sich rassistisch, so argumentierten sie, insofern sie die Erfahrungen und Lebensbedingungen schwarzer Frauen und Frauen aus der „Dritten Welt“ entweder ignorierten oder von einem rassistischen, d.h. von einem Standpunkt aus darstellten, der die eigenen Werte unhin…
Politicizing Biographies
We take our own life stories as points of departure to look at some of the ways in which women were politicized in Argentina and West Germany (our respective countries of origin), focusing on similarities as well as differences in our politicization processes. We aim at putting present discussions about global political movements into a historical perspective. We want also to illuminate the centrality of political identities in the construction o…

Wirkungsweisen von rassismus und ethnozentrismus
Rassismus
In »Rassismus. Die Schwierigkeit, nicht rassistisch zu sein« treffen klassische Texte aus der Kritischen Psychologie unter der Leitfrage nach der Funktionalität von Rassismus neu aufeinander. Annita Kalpaka und Nora Räthzel verfassten 1986 den ersten Text zu Alltagsrassismus und institutionellem Rassismus in der Bundesrepublik, der weitere Verbreitung fand. Sie stellen darin die noch immer brisante Frage nach der Funktionalität von Rassismus für …

Monious `Heimat' and Disturbing `Auslander
This article aims to set an agenda for further research into the following issues: which concepts of `homeland' ('Heimat') lead to anxieties about those defined as foreigners' ('Ausldnder') and which ones are able to include the `newcomers'? How do these concepts relate to people's ability to intervene into contradictory social structures? In order to do this, it presents some results from a study which explores concepts of `Heimat' and `Ausldnde…

I analyse the changing conceptions of German national identity since the idea was first articulated after the French Revolution. I distinguish between universalist concepts of national belonging and particularist ones, specifying at the same time their respective class articulations. Within this context, I address both historical and contemporary politico‐legal conditions for German citizenship. These conditions for German belonging entail differ…
