The space-times of post-capitalist transformation: More-than-human affects in French and Catalan eco-communities by Schramm, E

“…I argue that repetitive, more-than-human affective relations along with moral-political convictions are crucial to understanding how post-capitalist transformations come about, especially when examining how affective relations and moral-political convictions emerge as motivations, how they are cultivated and passed onto to others, and how difficulties in doing so might arise over time. …”
