Venue:<\/strong>\u00a0Iscte – University Institute of Lisbon, Lisbon, Portugal CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS<\/strong><\/p>\n The shortcomings of mainstream environmental politics are contributing to a growing interest in the relational ethics and practices underlying the sympoietic processes (Haraway, 2016) by which humans and non-humans collectively produce autopoietic social-ecological systems. This includes the performance, by community-led initiatives (CLIs), as well as the translocal\/transnational networks they create, of the role of \u201csocial learning spaces\u201d where new and old modes of thought and tangible practices beyond extractivism and mastery of nature are experimented with, enacted, and coordinated (Egmose, Hauggaard-Nielsen and Jacobsen 2022).<\/p>\n Such interest is driven by the goal of shifting the metabolic profiles of societies towards regenerative and democracy-enhancing goals. This implies going beyond the \u201cdecarbonization consensus\u201d (Bringel and Svampa 2023) by conceiving post-carbon transitions as social-ecological processes in which modes of thought, political ecologies, institutional processes, and experience-based social learning play equally relevant and interconnected parts.<\/p>\n We invite researchers, activists, community organisers, project managers, and policy administrators to submit proposals for contributions to this conference. We aim to promote interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary perspectives at theoretical, conceptual, and methodological levels. Submissions might be based on formal research or on concrete activist, economic or public policy initiatives.<\/p>\n The conference is structured around\u00a0two interconnected topics:<\/strong><\/p>\n Ethics<\/strong>:\u00a0The role of modes of thought that question instrumental approaches to social exchanges and relating to nature. This includes cosmologies, epistemologies, spiritualities\/wisdom traditions, and cultural positions providing post-human, post-patriarchal, post-developmentalist and decolonial counterpoints to modernity, by re-signifying relationships with the non-rational dimensions of human existence, as well as the other-than-human dimensions of nature.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Practices<\/strong>:\u00a0The contribution of non-mainstream pedagogies, action research methodologies, and other engaged and participatory approaches to knowledge production and diffusion to democratic deepening by promoting, among social movements, policymakers and community-led initiatives, the enactment of emancipatory, participatory, and commoning-oriented practices in everyday life.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n We will issue regular updates about the organisation of this conference via the event\u2019s webpage (https:\/\/ssecommons.cei.iscte-iul.pt<\/a>\u00a0), e-mail and the social media accounts of CEI-Iscte (Linkedin<\/a>,\u00a0Facebook<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0X<\/a>).
