Abstract

This paper aims to integrate the socio-ecological critique of capitalist valorization with some indications developed in the post-colonial debate and the neo-materialist perspectives. It builds on an analysis of the land grab phenomena and its connections with recent agricultural development policies, involving green and bio-economy promotion in Sub-Saharan Africa. It firstly expands on the relationships between the neoliberal ecological regime and the racialized pattern of colonial appropriation that inform current agrarian governance processes. Then, re-calling the results of a case study on a land-deal conflict in the north of Senegal, it discusses the interest of a political ecology approach focused on a post-colonial reading of world-ecology, able to include in the narrative of capitalocene the alternative and subaltern socio-ecological stories that inhabit it. This, it will be argued, offers a useful perspective to re-imagine socio-ecological transition as a plural and more-than-human process.

多元化的世卫组织，考虑过渡。非洲的农业投资和新的农业问题

本文旨在将资本主义价值增值的社会生态批判与后殖民辩论和新唯物主义观点中发展起来的一些迹象结合起来。它建立在对土地掠夺现象及其与最近的农业发展政策的联系的分析基础上，这些政策涉及撒哈拉以南非洲的绿色和生物经济推广。它首先扩展了新自由主义生态制度与殖民占有的种族化模式之间的关系，这种模式为当前的农业治理过程提供了信息。然后，回顾塞内加尔北部土地交易冲突的案例研究结果，讨论了政治生态学方法的兴趣，该方法侧重于对世界生态学的后殖民解读，能够在资本新世的叙述中包括居住在其中的替代和次等社会生态故事。这将被认为提供了一个有用的视角，将社会生态转型重新想象为一个多元的、超越人类的过程。

期刊介绍： Sociologia urbana e rurale is the only Italian journal dedicated to environmental and territorial sociology. Theoretical and empirical studies are published, with most connected to urban and rural changes. Particular attention is paid to the following topics: spatial and social forms in urban and rural areas; poverty and social exclusion; local and international migration; environmental topics; urban and architectural planning; tourism; new urban populations. Other types of article are also accepted, touching on methodological aspects, the history of rural and urban studies, bibliographic research into particular topics. Our journal is also interested in strengthening links with other disciplines, particularly with architecture, urban planning and geography. Italian and international scholars are involved in our journal, which is the reason why a number of prominent European and American sociologists are members of the Steering Committee. Each issue has a monographic section, which is edited by one or two authors selected by the Steering Committee. The second section ( Studi e ricerche) is focused on research reports, comments on topics related to the discipline, and bibliographic research. Each issue also has space for the review of Italian and international books. Every year, the Steering Committee plans topics for each monographic section. The editors are free to post a request for a paper on the journal''s webpage and on the website of the AIS Territorial Sociology Section, or to request contributions directly from potential authors. The Committee might also consider proposals for the monographic section. All articles are required to have a strong theoretical base, although significant empirical results are also greatly appreciated. Unsolicited and unpublished articles from prominent scholars are also accepted, with the possibility that some might be published in their original language.
