Abstract

Sustainability – embedded in intergovernmental global agreements and filtering, reassuringly, into ‘common sense’ – is now the globally dominant environmental discourse. However, this dominance does not equate with the mainstreaming of its original meaning that is tied up with a radical critique of capitalism that crystallised in movements of both the South and the North in the 1970s. Rather, radical sustainability discourse has been effectively neutralised by its ‘articulation’ with the neoliberal capitalist project. This article examines this articulatory shift, focusing particularly on a post-Marxist neo-Gramscian inspired discourse analysis of the key documents of intergovernmental global agreement. The article argues for the rearticulation of sustainability to a new counter-hegemonic ‘reimagining’ of nature.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
