the metabolic rift and marine ecology an analysis of the ocean crisis within Capitalist Production
Organization & Environment, 2005Co-Authors: Rebecca Clausen, Brett ClarkAbstract:This article develops a theoretical foundation for understanding the human influence on the oceans and the resulting oceanic crisis as it relates to the depletion of fish stock and the expansion of aquaculture. Drawing on environmental sociology and insights from the historical materialist tradition, the authors study the nature-society dialectic as it relates to human interactions with the ocean for the capture of fish. We extend Marx’s concept of the metabolic rift to the marine environment to (a) understand the human transformations of the ocean ecosystem, (b) examine the anthropogenic (human-generated) causes of fish stock depletion, (c) study the development of aquaculture in response to the oceanic crisis, and (d) reveal the ecological consequences of ongoing Capitalist Production in relation to the ocean environment.

the demise of radical political economics an essay on the evolution of a theory of Capitalist Production
Social Science Research Network, 2001Co-Authors: David A SpencerAbstract:The paper traces the historical development of American radical economics. The focus is on the work of Samuel Bowles and Herbert Gintis. The central aim is to examine the implications of their recent move towards neoclassical economics for the study of Capitalist Production in particular, and the future of American radical economics more generally. By embracing neoclassical concepts and methodology, radical economists have denied themselves the opportunity to elucidate both the bases of Capitalist class conflict, and the nature of more complex social interactions at the point of Production. American radical economics once provided a powerful critique of capitalism and its system of Production, but it now struggles to provide more than a policy prescription for reduced levels of opportunism among individual workers. American radical economics cannot remain a distinctive voice in economics while it retains such close associations with neoclassicism.

Victor Papanek: Design, Ecology, and Global Activism | Alison Clarke
DigitalCommons@RISD, 2018Co-Authors: Division, Liberal Arts, Department, Theory History Of Art & & Design, Museum Risd, Global RisdAbstract:VIEW EVENT PHOTOS Lecture, October 4, 2018. 6:00 pm Metcalf Auditorium, RISD Museum/Chace Center. The division of Liberal Arts, THAD department and RISD Museum welcome author and design historian Alison Clarke to RISD to give a lecture titled “Victor Papanek: Design, Ecology and Global Activism. In 1968, Papanek described the design profession as a mode of “do-it-yourself murder” that generates waste, wreaks ecological havoc and excludes the most socially disadvantaged. Design, he warned, had become preoccupied with “the concocting of such inane trivia as mink-covered toilet-seats, electronic fingernail polish dryers and baroque fly-swatters,” rather than solving “real world” needs. Based on the forthcoming book Victor Papanek: Designer for the Real World (MIT Press) and research for a recent co-curated exhibition with the Vitra Design Museum, Germany, the lecture will explore how Papanek’s iconoclastic designs, provocative journalism and unique global pedagogic initiatives upended the complacency of the 1960s and ’70s design establishment. Clarke will examine how this shift in the perception of design as a political tool was part of a broader challenge to commodity culture that drew on feminist and counter-culture ideas of non-Capitalist Production, African-American civil rights and global post-colonial activism, and a burgeoning ecological movement. She will conclude by examining the legacy of Papanek’s ideas in contemporary design discourse. This event is sponsored by the Division of Liberal Arts graduate programs in Global Arts and Cultures and Nature-Culture-Sustainability Studies in conjunction with the RISD Museum’s Repair and Design Futures Exhibition and RISD Global. Alison J. Clarke is a design historian and trained social anthropologist. She is chair of Design History and Theory and Director of the Victor J. Papanek Foundation, University of Applied Arts Vienna, and taught previously at the Royal College of Art, London. Professor Clarke’s publications include Tupperware: The Promise of Plastic in 1950s America, which became the basis of an Emmy Award nominated PBS documentary, Design Anthropology: Object Culture in the 21st Century (2017), and Émigré Cultures in Design and Architecture (with Elana Shapira, 2017). She is currently completing a monograph for MIT Press titled Victor Papanek: Designer for the Real World, as well as co-curating a related exhibition at the Vitra Design Museum, Germany.https://digitalcommons.risd.edu/liberalarts_ncss_events/1004/thumbnail.jp

from metabolic rift to metabolic value reflections on environmental sociology and the alternative globalization movement
Organization & Environment, 2010Co-Authors: Ariel SallehAbstract:On the assumption that good theory is informed by praxis and vice versa, the essay brings sociological theory together with the alternative globalization movement. The responses of this emerging global civil society to contemporary environmental crises indicate that understandings of labor and value that evolved with industrial capital need to be broadened. The essay opens up this process with an outline of how Capitalist Production undermines its own social metabolism, a “metabolic rift,” that is maintained by the ideological separation of ecology and economics. However, from a grassroots perspective, it is clear that a conceptual vacuum exists between these two disciplines—a space in which a third discourse waits to be articulated. This subliminal “other” sphere of labor and value centers on reProduction of the humanity—nature metabolism by those whose labor is marginalized by capital—unpaid caregivers, peasants, and indigenous gatherers. The terms meta-industrial labor and metabolic value spell out the...
