Ecologization, part 2: Practices, strategies and devices for managing assets-actifs
Michel Callon et al.
Abstract
In two instalments, this paper analyses ecologization as an emergent mode of economization. The first instalment proposed a new definition of economic activities that addresses today’s ecological challenges. This second instalment identifies the activities involved in ecologization processes and how human actors from a variety of practices contribute to their design, revision and management. It discusses new accounting devices, developed to consolidate and extend this movement, which provide insights into the results obtained, actions taken to achieve them and monetary and non-monetary costs involved. After highlighting the uncertainties and resistances surrounding the future of this new mode of economization, we ask whether this emerging approach is worth pursuing and supporting, despite its challenges and ambiguities, and end by arguing that the answer is unequivocally affirmative.
