</x-tab>L'Internationale Online launches its newest
e-publication,<i><b> Degrowth and Progress</b></i>. Following the
e-publication<i> Austerity and Utopia</i>, L'Internationale Online
presents a second collection of interventions to think through two
apparently distant concepts. Artists, thinkers and researchers were
invited to reflect on a dissimilar pair of themes as fertile ground
for thought and proposition. With this new issue of<i> Degrowth and
Progress</i>, we would like to pursue a path of reflection to
interrogate the ambivalence of a possible progression of degrowth, and
attempt to stage a hybrid scenario of speculative thought and action.
This collection draws upon the complexity of ethical, ecological and
political frameworks and reveals other perspectives on the current
crisis through critical essays, storytelling, science fiction,
biomorphic design, audiovisual traces of artistic practices and
allegorical maps.</div>

<div>Progress was the firstborn of modernity, a major promise of
continuous development towards the perfection of "humankind."
But progress in whose name? To whose benefit? With the exclusion of
whom? Progress towards what kind of model? The notion of progress,
besides being Eurocentric and linked to colonialism, has been the
ideological framework for liberalism itself. The ideal of a
continuous, progressive and desirable advancement of civilisation has
been reframed in recent decades with "sustainable development."
But isn't sustainability a concept far too simplistic to be able to
address real questions of poverty, exploitation, segregation,
congestion, depletion of land, desertification, terraforming, or the
mass extinction of species? Could we think in a different direction
about progress?<br>
