If we are to be truly realistic then we must demand the “impossible.”

To refuse reality is to confront a crisis deeper than politics, economy, or society, for even our language itself must be recovered and relearned — so that we may finally write the words that speak.

🧵We want to document, study and share traditional and emerging ecological knowledges and practices that cultivate balanced relations among plants, animals, people.

"Food and Social Nature: Foundation for Democratic Modernity" by Harriet Friedmann, from Issue 01 of Democratic Modernity, is now available online!

[Academy of Social Science @AcSocialScience]

We only need to recognise ourselves in its past, see its practical reality everywhere today, and recognise how our actions always already ripple through its depths into the future.

And so we can hope."

[Academy of Social Science @AcSocialScience]

Without hope we are paralyzed, unable to create. But what hope is possible in today's world?

"On Democratic Modernity; Or, To Hope in the Aftermath" by @historyastheory, from the First Issue of Democratic Modernity, is now available on our website!

"A democratic civilizational perspective is an opening, a refusal of panic in this time of monsters, when the old world is dying and the new world still struggles to be born.

Another civilization is not only possible, it already surrounds us.

[Academy of Social Science @AcSocialScience]

"Power lies not only in institutions but in how people make sense of their world; hegemony is a political and cultural process. Art, in its most valid form, is a powerful force for change."
