#RightsofNature can impute relational worldviews, while of course they're embedded within liberal rights discourses & colonial categories of property and separation.

I argue that RoN are ‘non-reformist reforms’ drawing on work by Andre Gorz, Barbara Muraca & Panos Petridis.

I suggest that in practice, cosmological limits can be enshrined through granting legal personhood to nature.

#RightsofNature can open up new ways of perceiving nature in places in which it is normally considered a resource, or source of leisure and respite.

n/6

I analyse the reciprocal practices, behaviours & rituals I observed and participated in during my doctoral research, and argue that a political ontology of relationality sets cosmological limits to growth, that is, normative constraints to the destruction of the living world

n/4

In it, I argue that cultural change is an integral part of sustainability transformations.

I suggest specific cultural and political tools towards non-anthropocentric & de-individualised sustainability visions.

This is building on lots of previous good work on cultural politics / degrowth.

New open-access, peer-reviewed paper! This has been in the making for many years, coming out of my PhD. I’m very pleased it’s found a home in Ecological Economics.
