Radical ecology has emerged as a potential point for§linkage, or nodal point, of a wide plurality of§anti-systemic struggles. Many have long expected§that the "nature-society" question will provide the§most likely focus for a coalescence of new social§movements into a broadened counter-hegemonic§movement. However, one problem persists. Ecology as§nodal point of solidarity has been marked by§conflict. Examining ecology exposes a rather§troubled mythopoetic, for which even a tentative§fixing of radicalizing struggles has proved§difficult. Nature can be articulated to widely§ranging interpretations and discourses and can be§deployed for vastly different purposes. This§provides for the strength of nature as a realm of§freedom but paradoxically leaves it open to§discourses of unfreedom. This book adapts Georges§Sorel's theory of social myths to examine radical§ecology as a point of convergence for social§movements. In doing so it makes an important§contribution to understandings of environmentalism§and social movements more broadly. An innovative§work it will be of great interest for students of§social theory and politics as well as anyone involved§in environmental activism.
