Abstract

Conceptual studies explain how degrowth principles can contribute to organizing beyond the destructive forces of capitalism. But little has been given to theorizing the evolution in degrowth repertoire of contention that aims to influence public policy around production and consumption practices. Drawing on an eight-year ethnographic study of the degrowth movement in Lille, France, we explore the evolution of its repertoire of contention by identifying the goals, strategies, and actions defining each phase. This analysis illustrates how the movement adapted its repertoire to overcome challenges and advance its political agenda, shedding light on key shifts in activism and engagement with policymakers. Our findings have implications for consumer research, degrowth movements, and public policy.
