‘It is not a Sunday in the countryside that we need, but a less artificial life.’
—Bernard Charbonneau, in « Le sentiment de la nature, une force révolutionnaire », 1937

It is our disconnection from nature that gives rise to the feeling that we lack something, that an essential part of our existence is missing.

Who was Bernard Charbonneau? 🧶

Bernard Charbonneau was raised in the Bordeaux bourgeoisie. He obtained his agrégation in 1935.

In 1945, he decided not to pursue an academic career and, ‘eager to live in the countryside, he obtained a position at a small teacher training college in the Pyrenean foothills, in Lescar, France, where he remained until his retirement’. (written by Daniel Cérézuelle, in ‘Ecology and Freedom: Bernard Charbonneau: Pioneer of Political Ecology’, Lyon, Parangon/Vs, coll. ‘après-développement’, 2006)

He viewed technical progress as the source of ever-increasing organisation, and therefore greater conformity, hence less freedom. He was a close friend of Jacques Ellul for six decades.

In his own words (in Combat nature no. 106, August 1994): https://lagrandemue.wordpress.com/2019/11/20/bio-graphie/

Post-development? Arturo Escobar and other post-development thinkers’ ideas unpack the history and very purpose of development, and inform new, critically grounded, ways to overcome the current impasse in development funding & planning.

“Through Foucault, Escobar came to the conclusion that development planning was not only a problem to the extent that it failed; it was a problem even when it succeeded.”

Arturo Escobar: a post-development thinker to be reckoned with

Drawing on influences from Foucault to Said, the Colombian's arguments have a sophistication that often goes unrecognised, writes Simon Reid-Henry

Taking Political Determinants of Planetary Health Seriously

Political determinants of planetary health – that health is not ‘just healthcare’ but is co-produced by structural factors such as class and decolonial struggles, race, gender, sexuality, xenophobia, ableism, market fundamentalism, anthropocentrism - have been overlooked to date in science and medicine.
