The fourth instance of our online Degrowth seminar series is coming up, on September 19th, 2 PM-3 PM CEST

“The future of degrowth: Decolonizing more than the imaginary” by Dr. Brototi Roy (Central European University, Vienna)

In recent years, degrowth has sparked multiple discussions, analyses and actions on repoliticizing the debate for socio-ecological justice and equity. Since the beginning of the movement as an activist slogan, there have been calls for decolonizing the imaginary. In this talk, Dr. Roy will engage with the idea of how can this decolonization be more material.

The talk will take place on Zoom, registration here: https://ucph-ku.zoom.us/meeting/register/u5wqdeuoqT0rGdCZTcmIc4MqrJNuC7eJLrFe
It will be followed by 30 min of informal discussion for those interested.

web3 must die!

combining crypto with biometrics + exploiting people from the global south, what could possibly go wrong?

you don't need a PhD in ethics to realize how fundamentally wrong this is.

i hate worldcoin + everything it stands for.

Vienmēr bauda labu antropoloģiju palasīt! Anžē un Belingera (red) "Ekoloģiskās nostaļģijas" (2020) ir tieši tāds cutting edge zinātnes un eksotisku stāstu kopojums, kur vienā rindkopā sastopama gaiļa upurēšana pie pilsētas domes (Meksika, mūsdienas) un teorētisks izvērtējums ekokosmoloģijas jēdzienam humanitārajās vides zinātnēs. Īpaši jauka pašas redaktores nodaļa par to, kā un kāpēc Andu zemnieki iepriecina savus kartupeļus ar dziesmām un kokas ziedojumiem. #EH #affectiveTurn #postcolonialism

Does anyone know any good podcasts (or alternatively blogs? Or other stuff?) about #postcolonialism?

If this was the Egg of Columbus implications of #Postcolonialism become clearer. This egg is a commodity, as well as this rose. The rise came by plane from Kenya, the egg from a farm nearby. Both are exchange value jn capitalist sense. Theories of #colonialism and post-colonialism simply reject this notion. Without a 'world' subject to value and conquered there will be no global rose, no egg sold to any customer. Future workers had to be made subjects of a 'machine' producing wares.

I'm teaching Gayatri Spivak's "Can the Subaltern Speak?" this spring, and I wrote up an explainer on it for my students -- and for any of you who might be interested.

Nested threads on lived experience: how easy it can be for Westerners to underestimate how pervasive a certain colonial type of chauvinism is among ordinary Russians too (including the higher-educated emigrants who seem liberal and reasonable), because we don't bear the grunt of it.

Anecdotal, yes, but worth considering; and the kind of thing many people from minority groups in the West would be able to recognise
