Post-Carbon Futures: Imagining (and Enacting) New Worlds through Transition Studies explores the multitude of possibilities for conceiving and creating fulfilling post-carbon ways of life.
Offering diverse perspectives and abundant empirical examples, this robust volume sheds new light on how complex ecological, economic, and political factors contour processes of conscious cultural change. The works gathered here center contributors’ experiences and observations of life in an era of profound uncertainty. Bringing together theoretically informed considerations, ethnographic examples, and viewpoints from active transition movement participants, this book is certain to catalyze rich discussions about transition’s myriad opportunities and its broad significance for socio-ecological change research. Fifteen original chapters highlight distinctive circumstances of post-carbon transitions as they play out in diverse communities around the world. These contributions are framed by a foreword by Arturo Escobar, a comprehensive introductory overview by the editors, and a dialogical conclusion that captures contributing authors’ key reflections on Transition Studies as an emergent field of knowledge production.
Post-Carbon Futures: Imagining (and Enacting) New Worlds through Transition Studies will inspire readers to contemplate how transition intersects with their own academic and/or activist interests and generate exciting new understandings of conscious cultural change in the twenty-first century.
