Hotspur🏳️‍🌈🇺🇦"Untitled (Dragon)," Rabindranath Tagore, 1st half of 20th century.Born in Bengal, Tagore (1861-1941) was an impressive polymath. Mostly remembered today as a poet, he was also a composer, author, playwright, philosopher, social reformer, and a painter, and a major figure of the Bengal Renaissance. He is often credited with singlehandedly reshaping Bengali literature and music, and combining Modernism with traditional Indian painting.He was the first non-European to win a Nobel Prize (for literature, in 1913), but didn't start painting until he was in his 60s. He drew in all sorts of influences from Western and Indian art. He is also now believed to have been red/green color blind, which explains the unusual color schemes and aesthetics of his works. His was a remarkable life, crammed with incident and achievement; I suggest you look into it yourself!From a private collection.<a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Art" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Art</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/IndianArt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#IndianArt</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/BengalRenaissance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BengalRenaissance</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/RabindranathTagore" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RabindranathTagore</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Modernism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Modernism</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Dragon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Dragon</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/NobelPrizeWInner" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NobelPrizeWInner</a>

But what about the poorer countries of the global south? Should they adopt degrowth strategies? Some argue this would impose a <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/neocolonial" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#neocolonial</a> agenda, with wealthier countries once again dictating the terms of global development. Others note that many poorer countries need economic growth to combat poverty. And even if degrowth were limited to the north, it could still have significant effects on the south – both positive and negative."A review of academic literature on degrowth and the global south reveals two main perspectives: those who see degrowth as incompatible with the south’s development needs, and those who believe it could offer synergies with sustainable development goals."Supporters of degrowth often point out that many of its core ideas originate in the global south. Anthropologist Jason Hickel cites figures such as Sri Lankan philosopher <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AnandaCoomaraswamy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AnandaCoomaraswamy</a>, Indian economist <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/JCKumarappa" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#JCKumarappa</a> and Bengali poet <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RabindranathTagore" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RabindranathTagore</a> as inspirations. While these thinkers may not use the term 'degrowth', they promote ideas aligned with it, such as the Latin American <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SumakKawsay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SumakKawsay</a> (or “<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BuenVivir" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BuenVivir</a>”) or the South African <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Ubuntu" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ubuntu</a>. These non-Western perspectives have been instrumental in shaping the degrowth discourse in the global north. Degrowth as decolonisation"Degrowth advocates argue that scaling back economic activity in the north could help dismantle the unequal global division of labour, in which raw materials are extracted from the south and processed into consumer goods in the north. This system disproportionately benefits wealthier nations while leaving poorer countries with the social and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/environmental" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#environmental</a> costs. "<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FedericoDemaria" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FedericoDemaria</a>, a researcher in political ecology, argues that northern countries must 'pay for past and present <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/colonial" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#colonial</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/exploitation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#exploitation</a> in the south' – a central theme in contemporary degrowth discourse."Some researchers suggest that dependence on economic growth is problematic for both the north and south. They argue that growth alone does not guarantee poverty reduction – wealth distribution and institutional reforms are just as crucial. Degrowth could help both regions avoid <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/unsustainable" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#unsustainable</a> development models by focusing more on social well-being than perpetual economic expansion."Read more: <a href="https://theconversation.com/the-degrowth-movement-envisions-global-climate-justice-but-must-adapt-to-global-south-realities-238276" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://theconversation.com/the-degrowth-movement-envisions-global-climate-justice-but-must-adapt-to-global-south-realities-238276</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SolarPunkSunday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SolarPunkSunday</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PostColonialism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PostColonialism</a>

Daniel Hoffmann 🥬For those who now need brightnessRabindranath Tagore, Gitanjali, No.57 Light, my light, the world-filling light, the eye-kissing light, heart-sweetening light! Ah, the light dances, my darling, at the centre of my life; the light strikes, my darling, the chords of my love; the sky opens, the wind runs wild, laughter passes over the earth. The butterflies spread their sails on the sea of light. Lilies and jasmines surge up on the crest of the waves of light. The light is shattered into gold on every cloud, my darling, and it scatters gems in profusion. Mirth spreads from leaf to leaf, my darling, and gladness without measure. The heaven’s river has drowned its banks and the flood of joy is abroad.<a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/poetry" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#poetry</a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/rabindranathtagore" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#rabindranathtagore</a>
