Les politiques subtiles du faire autrement: Référents spirituels et militantisme progressiste en Suisse
This article considers the contemporary entanglement between spiritual registers and a progressive militant scene upon two fieldworks conducted in Switzerland (2015-2021) on contemporary encounters between religion, spirituality and ecology. My observations contrast common accusations upon the so-called depoliticization, narcissism or mere bricolage revolving around the popularization of new and self-centered modes of exercise of power in progres…
Biodynamic Wine-Crafting and the Spiritualization of the Workplace: The Negotiation of Relationality and Social Stigmas in Swiss Vineyards
In recent years, the involvement of Swiss wine-crafters (vignerons) with 'holistic spiritualities' has become more visible. Through the use of esoterically driven preparations, energetic crystals, and neo-shamanic 'vision questing' practices, vignerons have incorporated alternative self-healing practices in their workplace. Under the umbrella term 'biodynamic farming,' vignerons are experimenting and delineating a new professional and relational …

Biodynamic Wine-crafting in Switzerland: The Translation and Adaptation of Rudolf Steiner’s Cosmology into Dark Green Agronomies
Over the past two decades, Swiss wine-crafting professionals (vignerons) have increasingly turned their attention toward a ‘holistic’ and ecosystemic understanding of their vineyards. Among them, a growing professional segment has engaged in an esoteric agronomy inspired by Rudolf Steiner: Biodynamics. This approach is illustrative of Bron Taylor’s dark green religion applied to agronomy. This ethnographic study describes and analyzes how Swiss v…

La figure du méditant-militant: Un redéploiement du religieux par l’engagement écologique en Suisse
Cet article analyse les activités de Michel Maxime Egger au sein du Laboratoire de la transition intérieure qu'il a créé en 2016. Michel Maxime Egger est un acteur qui se définit comme « méditant-militant » et tente de « lier » différents mondes et publics potentiels - religieux, spirituels, académiques, écologiques, altermondialistes, etc. Sous la forme d'une étude de cas, nous montrons comment il impulse un réseau de « transition intérieure » s…
Is Sacred Nature Gendered or Queer? Insights from a Study on Eco-Spiritual Activism in Switzerland
Among eco-spiritual activists in the French-speaking part of Switzerland, gendered notions such as "Mother Earth" or gendered "nature spirits" are ubiquitous. Drawing on an in-depth ethnographic study of this milieu (2015-2020), this article presents some of the ways in which these activists articulate gender issues with reference to nature. The authors discuss the centrality of the notion of the self and ask what outputs emerge from linking envi…
Créativités agronomiques et rituelles dans les vignobles suisses. Une étude des engagements pluriels dans la viticulture biodynamique
Cet article aborde les engagements pluriels de vignerons et vigneronnes suisses dans les lignes de conduite de la viticulture biodynamique. Je montrerai par le terrain qu'un segment de la population vigneronne adapte et module de manière créative les prescriptions émanant de figures d'experts alternatifs. Ce faisant, les vignerons négocient une distance pragmatique vis-à-vis de la filiation de la biodynamie avec le mouvement anthroposophique
The (b)earth of a gendered eco-spirituality
In this chapter, the authors rely on three different settings to propose a reflection on recently observed challenges of a secular view of ecology as mainly a technical subject. They analyse the ways in which actors in a Maya renewal in Mexico, a Swiss ecospiritual movement claiming an “inner transition”, and in Damanhur an eco-esoteric community in Piedmont, Italy, frame environmentalist or ecological concerns within religious (including spiritu…
