How the non-human turn challenges the social sciences The case of environmental struggles at Notre-Dame-des-Landes, France
Résumé
The chapter reviews recent theoretical debates in the so-called 'ontological turn.' The new approach is important but it also runs the risk of missing important dimensions in the logic of political mobilisation, which both social movement studies and a pragmatically-inspired political sociology are better equipped to account for. The case study analyses the environmental struggles at Notre-Dame-des-Landes in France. Squatting started in 2014, and more intense debates took place after the eviction carried out in 2018.
