Shinto & Ecology
Master of Arts (MA) in Foundations and Practices of Sustainability Shinto & Ecology Felix Ackermann Under the direction of Prof. Dominique Bourg With the expert Leila Chakroun October, 2018 Abstract When speaking of a global ecological crisis, diverse mutually interacting factors are being pointed at. Next to resource depletion and the progressive saturation of Earth’s charging capacities, potentially endangering the very habitability of the planet, social and economical aspects of the crisis equally need to be investigated upon. Technological supremacy coupled with pure proft orientation, as well as a predatory and indifferent stance towards the non-human Nature, characteristic of modern Western and Westernized societies, constitute a detrimental precondition in maintaining an unviable status quo of continuous environmental degradation and global social inequalities. Path dependency on an inherently unsustainable debt-based and growth-orientated capitalistic economics, falsely assuming an infnite Earth, makes it in that respect diffcult to escape the prevailing paradigm. The crisis is being framed as a spiritual crisis in the sense that spirituality of modern societies can be both described by their alienated relationship towards Nature and their limited idea of human accomplishment of materialistic and consumerist nature. Thorough refexion upon the spiritual foundations of modern societies is hence being advocated in order to fnd responses to the ills of the so-called technocratic paradigm. A globally disenchanted worldview, rendering Nature a mere commodity, which has been brought forth during the history of Western civilization is regarded as pivotal in generating the ‘modern Western spirituality’ which is oftentimes opposed to Eastern spiritual or animistic traditions. Endeavors of operating paradigm shifts by adopting tenets of such traditions, for instance Buddhism, appear pertinent on a surface level, yet raise questions in terms of applicabilities and misunderstandings. -

Paradigms, Models, Scenarios and Practices for Strong Sustainability
Call for papers – Paradigms, Models, Scenarios and Practices for strong sustainability CALL FOR PAPERS Paradigms, Models, Scenarios and Practices for strong sustainability University of Clermont Auvergne (UCA) Jean Monnet Excellence Center on Sustainability (ERASME) 4 - 5 - 6 December 2019, Maison des Sciences de l’Homme, 4 rue Ledru, Clermont-Ferrand, France 1 Call for papers – Paradigms, Models, Scenarios and Practices for strong sustainability Backdrop: While the notion of sustainability continues to be associated with the Brundtland Report (1987) and the concept of sustainable development, it is increasingly seeking to emancipate itself in order to provide a representation of the world that is consistent with the aspirations of the moment. Everything must be sustainable; agriculture, food, natural resources, biodiversity, water, energy, cities, territories, tourism... At the risk of falling into overkill and excess, our social model must be part of a strong sustainability and refuse any compromise with possible cover- ups (we can mention here green growth, green washing, decoupling or even the latest creation, sustainable innovation). This enthusiasm and its expectations for more sustainability go beyond the environmental framework. Indeed, if reducing our ecological footprint is a necessity, it is associated with other objectives (the famous SDGs) that claim a certain legitimacy. The eradication of poverty, the reduction of inequalities, access for all to education, electricity and water, the development of 100% renewable energy.. -

The Adventure of Degrowth
What is Degrowth?: Ffrom an activist slogan to a social movement Federico Demariaª*, François Schneiderª, Filka Sekulovaª, Joan Martinez-Alierª * Corresponding author: [email protected] ª Research & Degrowth (R&D) and ICTA, Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB) Federico Demariaª*, François Schneiderª, Filka Sekulovaª*, Joan Martinez-Alierª * Corresponding author: [email protected] ª Research & Degrowth (R&D) and ICTA, Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB). Abstract Degrowth is a slogan, a missile word. The intention is to engage into a contentious diagnosis and a prognosis of our society. “Degrowth” launched in the political arena by activists in 2001 quickly became an interpretative frame for a new social movement where. different streams of critical ideas and political action converge. Furthermore degrowthit is an example of activist-led science, as it is now consolidating into a concept in academic literature. The article discusses the origins, evolution, practices and contested construction of degrowth in France,. First it describes how the movement developed in France, Italy and Spain. Second Iit presents the main intellectual sources and from which the movement draws inspiration. Degrowth is grounded in a variety of areas such as ecology, criticism of development, anti-utilitarianism, meaning of life, ecological economics, democracy and social justice. it showsThird it presents the variety of strategies and practices concerning theorisation, dissemination, oppositional activism, building of alternatives and political proposals. It discusses the actors of the movement’s actors:, paying attention to practitioners, activists and scientists. TheFinally it draws some conclusions on the movement’s diversity that does not detract from the existence of a common purpose. -
