Title: | The Labor(s) of Degrowth | Authors: | Barca, Stefania | Keywords: | Degrowth; Labor; Alienation; Ecofeminist political economy | Issue Date: | 11-Sep-2017 | Publisher: | Taylor & Francis | Serial title, monograph or event: | Capitalism Nature Socialism | Abstract: | The degrowth debate so far has lacked a clear vision of what social subjects, and which processes of political subjectivation, can turn its vision into a political strategy. In this contribution to the debate on degrowth and eco-socialism, I point to the place of labor in the politics of socio-ecological revolution, arguing that degrowth should aim for a truly democratic, workers’ controlled production system, where alienation is actively countered by a collective reappropriation of the products of labor and by a truly democratic decision-making process over the use of the surplus. Such strategy must be based on an extended concept of class relations that goes beyond the wage labor relation, and toward a broader conception of work as a (gendered and racialized) mediator of social metabolism. I conclude that ecosocialist degrowth should take the form of a struggle for dealienating both industrial and meta-industrial labor. | Description: | Published online: 11 Sep 2017 | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10316/83475 | ISSN: | 1045-5752 1548-3290 |
