L’Internationale Online launches its newest e-publication, Degrowth and Progress. Following the e-publication Austerity and Utopia, we present a second collection of interventions to think through two apparently distant concepts. Artists, thinkers and researchers were invited to reflect on a dissimilar pair of themes as fertile ground for thought and proposition.
Degrowth and Progress is creating a polyphonic approach to some of the challenges and threats of our present times. This collection draws upon the complexity of ethical, ecological and political frameworks and reveals other perspectives on the current crisis through critical essays, storytelling, science fiction, biomorphic design, audiovisual traces of artistic practices and allegorical maps.
