What narratives for ecological transformation? (re)Thinking technosolutionist and apocalyptic imaginaries for a more sustainable society
This project aims to analyze the impact of two types of dominant narratives – technosolutionist narratives and apocalyptic narratives – on the ecological and social transformation, with a particular focus on the cultural and economic/managerial fields. By collecting and studying data from these two fields, and adopting an action-research approach, the project will intervene in the secondary and university education sector.
The aim is to develop tools for deconstructing dominant narratives that would be demobilizing and potentially disempowering – « technology will solve everything » and « all is lost » – and to promote the emergence of alternative narratives carrying action and hope (so-called « earth narratives »).
