Closing the loop or squaring the circle? Locating generative spaces for the circular economy:

摘要: Heightened concerns about long-term sustainability have of late enlivened debates around the circular economy (CE). Defined as a series restorative and regenerative industrial systems, parallel socio-cultural transformations arguably received less consideration to date. In response, this paper examines contributions human geographical scholarship can make CE debates, focusing on ‘generative spaces’ diverse practices. Concepts infrequently discussed within geography such product service systems ‘prosumption’ are explored, argue that productive potential exists in bringing these ideas into conversation with ongoing research practices, materialities, emergent political spaces ‘everyday activism’.
