Einladungstext der Veranstalter*innen:

Paul Guillibert, Frédéric Monferrand, Alexis Cukier, Davide Gallo Lassere are organizing an event in French entitled Planning, degrowth, and social reproduction: the political relevance of ecomarxism. The event can be joined on May 20, 2025, in Paris-I Panthéon-Sorbonne or online via this link.

The hypothesis underlying this event is that eco-Marxism is currently entering a new phase in its history. Henceforth, it is not only ecological catastrophes, but also the political means of averting them that occupy attention. In other words, it is no longer only the theoretical critique of capitalism, but also the strategic perspectives once explored by Marxism that are now seeking renewal. In this respect, we see three major proposals taking shape, representing three ways of imagining a democratization of socio-economic life in the age of the Anthropocene: ecosocialist planning, degrowth, and the invention of autonomous, localized forms of eco-social reproduction. This event aims to explore and compare these three proposals.
