La ideología del progreso nos hizo olvidar la Naturaleza

Como un pequeño adelanto de la Conferencia de Joan Martínez Alier “El Ecologismo de los Pobres y el Anti-Extractivismo” que se llevará a cabo el 2 de Marzo a horas 18:30 en la Casa Museo Solón, transcribimos algunos fragmentos de la visión de este ecólogo político y economista catalán. A primera vista, parece que el ecologismo es un movimiento de la clase media de algunos… Continue reading La ideología del progreso nos hizo olvidar la Naturaleza

Committing geocide: climate change and corporate capture

Como avanzar hacia el Vivir Bien

[Pablo Solón, 12/06/2016] Lo que hemos visto durante la última década no es la aplicación del Vivir Bien. Este proceso de cambio, que empezó con grandes augurios, ha terminado capturado por un modelo extractivista que redistribuye una fracción del ingreso sin afectar fundamentalmente a los grandes poderes económicos, ni transformar sustancialmente la economía dependiente, exportadora y depredadora de la naturaleza. Empoderar a las colectividades humanas … Continue reading Como avanzar hacia el Vivir Bien

Ecofeminism

[from: http://www.thegreenfuse.com%5D Ecofeminism There is no single definition of ecofeminism, and ecofeminists may well disagree with at least some of explanations I give in this section, but there are core principles. Ecofeminists agree that the domination of women and the domination of nature are fundamentally connected and that environmental efforts are therefore integral with work to overcome the oppression of women. The primary aims of … Continue reading Ecofeminism

“LAUDATO SI” – A 21ST CENTURY MANIFESTO FOR EARTH DEMOCRACY

[Dr Vandana Shiva – L’Huffington Post Italia, 19 June 2015] Most reports of Pope Francis’s Encyclical in the press before the formal launch yesterday reduced this path breaking document with 246 paras on the contemporary ecological crisis and human crisis to the 4 paras on climate change (para 23-26). But Laudato Si is much wider and much deeper. It is first of all a call … Continue reading “LAUDATO SI” – A 21ST CENTURY MANIFESTO FOR EARTH DEMOCRACY

La révolution à l’épreuve de l’eros du pouvoir

versión en español

[Xavier Ricard Lanata] [1]

L’échec historique du socialisme réel et des processus d’émancipation collective témoigne de l’ambiguïté de la relation entre révolution et pouvoir. Plutôt que de choisir entre l’un des deux termes (la connaissance autonome –pôle révolutionnaire-, ou l’obéissance aveugle –pôle de l’Etat ou imperium, selon la distinction de Spinoza dans le Traité théologico politique), je défends ici l’idée d’un équilibre, qui ne serait pas simplement empirique mais bien idéologique et politique. Cet équilibre exige de produire au préalable un nouvel ethos révolutionnaire -dont l’écologie politique nous fournit le principe, qui viendrait se substituer aux formes éthiques et politiques de la première modernité. Continue reading “La révolution à l’épreuve de l’eros du pouvoir”

How economic growth has become anti-life

[Vandana Shiva, 2013] Limitless growth is the fantasy of economists, businesses and politicians. It is seen as a measure of progress. As a result, gross domestic product (GDP), which is supposed to measure the wealth of nations, has emerged as both the most powerful number and dominant concept in our times. However, economic growth hides the poverty it creates through the destruction of nature, which in … Continue reading How economic growth has become anti-life

A New Story for a New Economy: To Find Our Human Place in a Living Universe

[David Korten] Economists debate whether the economy is recovering from the financial crash of 2008. Scientists debate whether Earth will recover from an economy that is destroying Earth’s capacity to support life. An unconscionable gap between rich and poor – between the profligate and the desperate – grows at an alarming rate. Economists assure us that faster economic growth will provide the technology and financial … Continue reading A New Story for a New Economy: To Find Our Human Place in a Living Universe

We need to overturn the system

[Nnimmo Bassey interview by Ethan Cox, June 2013] When we speak of Nigeria, and of the Nigerian people’s inspired resistance to the devastation wrought by multinational oil companies such as Shell, the name of the late, and great, Ken Saro-Wiwa is inescapable. But many others have continued to toil in the shadows over the years since Saro-Wiwa’s death. Nnimmo Bassey is one such activist who is … Continue reading We need to overturn the system

It’s the time of the Rights of Mother Earth

[Pablo Solón, April 2011] (1) Victor Hugo, the author of Les Misérables, once wrote: “How sad to think that nature speaks and mankind doesn’t listen.” Although we often forget it, human beings are a force in nature. In reality, we are all a product of the same Big Bang that created the universe, although some only see wood for the fire when they walk through the forest. … Continue reading It’s the time of the Rights of Mother Earth
