Seeds beneath the snow: Lefebvre, autogestion, and ecological questions

Abstract

This commentary engages with Napoletano et al.'s (2023) analysis of the relationship between society, nature, and ‘autogestion’ in the work of Henri Lefebvre. I present some reflections on what kind of relationship between humans and nature is envisioned with respect to political and social forms of governance after the advent of metabolic rift and, with Lefebvre, what kind of ‘autogestion’ regime can be imagined to begin to solve the ecological question.
