The Plural Logics of Anti-Capitalist Economic Movements
Résumé
Economic concerns now motivate the public engagement of many activists, who are taking the initiative in modifying our ways of consuming and producing. By inventing another economy, these activists say they want to invent another world, to construct another life. Each of them, through their own action, intends to prove “their refusal to let themselves be treated and left to live as objects, their specifically human capacity to present themselves as subjects”, as the members of the ADRET1 collective would say (1997, p.8). But this commitment to bringing about an alternative life occurs under various banners: alter-globalisation, degrowth, social and/or solidarity economy, sustainable development, to mention only a few. And all of these activists have struggled to converge in a common movement. Why is this? What are the theoretical and ideological differences between these different labels? The goal of this chapter, which is firmly embedded in an epistemology of complexity that invites the researcher to accept their share of normativity2, is to propose ways forward that might facilitate this necessary clarification.
