The following paper is about care1. It proposes a political vision to move towards a care-centred society that will allow the flourishing of everyone while keeping the planet inhabitable and thriving. For this utopian horizon that we name an ecology of care, we propose the creation of a Basic Income system that is constituted outside of and beyond the realm of the nation-state, as a means of changing humanity’s relationship to itself and transitioning from capitalism to a commons-based society. It argues for a dis-embedding of work-and the time allocated to it-from money, through a reformulation of the production of money in the form of an income distributed as an equal share to all those who are part of the planetary commons. Finally, it connects this Basic Income proposal with degrowth as a radical and necessary reformulation of society that considers its ecological roots and replaces the obsession with endless economic growth with the principle of taking care of people.

This book review is about the French translation of a book by the anthropologist Arturo Escobar that, though it has not been translated into English yet, deserves to be known by English readers. This book is quite important since it allows one to understand occidental, capitalist and modern hegemony not only as an economic domination but above all as a cultural, epistemological and ontological colonisation. Indeed, according to Escobar, this domination takes its roots in the Occident’s ontology which translates into hegemonic practices that are concrete threats to the other worlds and their dwellers. Thus, Escobar highlights the deep link between ontologies and practices and argues for a new field of study he calls political ontology or ontological politics. To accompany the proposition of a shift from a universal nature to a pluriverse composed of many worlds, Escobar does not only undermine the prejudices of modernity but also puts forward the relational ontologies from indigenous communities of Latin America that concretely resist colonisation, underlining the ontological dimension of their struggles. Such a framework enables one to overcome or at least minimize the distinction between theory and practice.

The aim of the article is a critical analysis of the COVID-19 pandemic consequences in the global South and the debate that has emerged among peripheral intellectuals (or those who write from the subaltern perspective) about the (economic and discursive) marginalization of non-Western societies. The subject of the analysis are texts published since the beginning of the pandemic in 2020 and they are confronted with the theoretical reflection that has emerged in recent years. The article presents the impact of the structural conditions of periphery on the course of the pandemic and specific problems of communities who live there. The pandemic debate points to the growing empowerment of global South knowledge and the need for dialogue between Western critical thought and peripheral thought to elaborate more innovative ontologies of social life.

Celem artykułu jest krytyczna analiza konsekwencji pandemii COVID-19 na globalnym Południu oraz debaty, jaka wyłoniła się wśród peryferyjnych intelektualistów (lub piszących z perspektywy podporządkowanych) wokół (ekonomicznej i dyskursywnej) marginalizacji społeczeństw niezachodnich. Przedmiotem analizy są teksty opublikowane od momentu rozpoczęcia pandemi w 2020 roku, które skonfrontowane zostały z teoretyczną refleksją, jaka wyłoniła się w ostatnich kilkunastu latach. Artykuł przedstawia oddziaływanie strukturalnych uwarunkowań peryferii na przebieg pandemii oraz problemy specyficzne tych społeczności. Debata na temat pandemii wskazuje na rosnące upodmiotowienie wiedzy tworzonej na globalnym Południu i potrzebę dialogu między zachodnią myślą krytyczną i peryferyjną pod kątem bardziej nowatorskich ontologii życia społecznego.
