This special issue of Culture and Organization invites contributions that question the Circular Economy in innovative ways.

There is, for example, a rich history of economic and social practices (think of the frugality of survival practices during various wars) that could be seen as precursors of the Circular Economy, and one might ask: If such practices have been around for some time, why have they not been able to address the questions the Circular Economy aims to answer? Likewise, the Circular Economy has a lot to say about materials and their flows, but very little about humans and the social dimension of circular activities.Calls for paper Contested realities of the Circular Economy, Culture and Organizations, Nov 15, 2018Lire la suite
