Against the myth of ecological collapse . Emilio Santiago .

Fear paralyzes you — it takes a lot of courage to read any report on the current climate situation — and prevents any possibility of reaction . That is what Emilio Santiago tries to avoid with this book , refuting the collapseist thesis with a more hopeful and combative vision . It is time to transcend the silence of the lambs and a disoriented environmentalism by showing a catalog of inspiring experiences or reminding us of all those collapses that never were .

But he also analyzes collapsism as an ideology

and state of mind , redefining it as another example of the failed state .

Emilio Santiago is a social activist , founder of the Institute for Transformation Breaks the Circle , PhD in Anthropology and senior scientist at CSIC .

Contra el mito del colapso ecológico . Emilio Santiago .

El miedo te paraliza — hay que tener mucho valor para leer cualquier informe sobre la situación climática actual — y evita cualquier posibilidad de reacción . Eso es lo que intenta evitar Emilio Santiago con este libro , refutar las tesis colapsistas con una visión más esperanzadora y combativa . Es hora de trascender el silencio de los corderos y de un ecologismo desorientado mostrando un catálogo de experiencias inspiradoras o recordándonos todos aquellos colapsos que nunca fueron .

Pero también analiza el colapsismo como ideología y estado de

ánimo , redefiniéndolo como una muestra más del Estado fallido .

Emilio Santiago es un activista social , fundador del Instituto de Transformación Rompe el Círculo , doctor en Antropología y científico titular del CSIC .

Wasteoceno . Marco Armiero .

Every time new ways of reading the sociological crisis we are suffering appear . And the one proposed by Marco Armiero is determined by the tireless production of people , communities and places of waste . He also proposes that we accompany him on his journey from Naples to Agbogbloshie ( Ghana ) to

travel through the heart of the Wastocene with its depressing collection of landfills . But he also shows us the different types of strategies and experiences that some communities are making to combat it .

For ten years he directed the Environmental Humanities Laboratory at the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm ( KTH ) and is the current president of the European Society for Environmental History .
