Abstract:
To address the relationship between the crises of capitalist growth and democratic politics, this paper discusses the notions of degrowth and conviviality. While degrowth criticizes the momentum of capitalist accumulation, conviviality originates in the search for alternatives to the instrumental use of technologies in industrial societies. Therefore, the differences between degrowth and conviviality should not be obscured. The research argues for a thorough examination of issues and propositions to overcome the environmental crisis from the perspective of materialist science and technology studies. New theories provide a powerful case study for exploring political and democratic challenges of post-growth societies, all the more so as questions of animal welfare and interspecies conviviality are addressed as well.
