<font face="Times New Roman, serif"><font style="font-size:11pt" size="2">Few
issues in the rapidly expanding body of Degrowth research (e.g.
D'Alisa et al., 2014, Sekulova et al., 2013 and Kallis et al., 2010)
are as controversial and at the same time scientifically
underexplored as the role of technology in the transition to a
Degrowth society. The declaration of the Barcelona conference in 2010
called for selective moratoria on certain technologies (“Barcelona
Declaration”, 2010), but discussions in Leipzig in 2014 were far
from such a consensus. Two contrapositions were apparent: technology
criticism following Illich, 1973, Elull, 1964 and Schumacher, 1973
and other critical authors versus technology enthusiasm that, for
example, agrees with Gorz (1994) on the potential of digital
fabricators. Ideas of simplification of life with less or low
technology clash with visions of a true democratisation of society
through the use of certain technologies (both high and low tech) such
as open source programming, DIY tractors and photovoltaic panels.
However, reality is not as “black and white” as it may seem.
There is a wide range of potentially overlapping positions around
scepticism and enthusiasm towards the role of technologies in
Degrowth. This special volume aims to present and discuss these
positions based on theoretical and empirical perspectives from
authors with diverse backgrounds such as Science and Technology
Studies, Philosophy of Technology, Ecological Economics, Industrial
Ecology, Technology Assessment, Innovation Studies, Political Science
and Anthropology. It focuses on how technology transforms ecology,
society and the economy and emphasizes inter- and transdisciplinary
approaches.</font></font></p>

<font face="Times New Roman, serif"><font style="font-size:11pt" size="2">The
special volume aims to both provide 1) a state of the art selection
of current discussions of the role of technology within Degrowth in
academia and practice and 2) a deepened reflection on technologies
with the aim to specify perspectives and to overcome their
entrenchment. The first section will revisit influential thinkers
(Illich, Elull, Schumacher, Georgescu-Roegen, Castoriadis, the
Luddites, etc.) and introduce promising approaches towards
technology, which have not yet entered the Degrowth discourse. The
second section will provide space for authors calling for a
“democratisation of technology”, including practice-oriented case
studies. These argue, among others, that problems of technology can
be overcome through open access and elimination of undemocratic
control by corporations and elites. A third section includes
contributions from authors showing how technologies can be evaluated
and assessed from a Degrowth perspective. These contributions depart
from the premise that technologies are neither per se beneficial nor
detrimental for a Degrowth society. They develop normative guidelines
and selection criteria for a framework to map roles of technologies
in the Degrowth context. Finally, we are open to complementary
analyses of Degrowth and technology, which explore novel takes on
this important issue and provide outlooks on how future practice and
research on technology and Degrowth might or should unfold.</font></font></p>

the role of technology in a Degrowth society and for mainstream
concepts such as the Green Economy or of Alternative Technology as it

theories of democratization of technology, which are popular in the
Degrowth community, particularly with respect to feasibility of
democratization of technology in Degrowth contexts.</font></font></p>

to examine the past, we would like to invite historical analysis of
past events or experiences of communities that consciously rejected
the introduction of new technologies for cultural, social or other

Amish would be examples. These reject, for example, goals of economic
rationalization and technological efficiency and optimization, in
favor of other values. Authors should look into these phenomena with
scientific rigor and method and avoid mere description. Biophysical
(e.g. social metabolisms), social, economic and political science

on the relationship between society and science and technology has
developed its own fields such as STS (Science and Technology
Studies), Philosophy of Technology, Risk Research and Innovation
Studies. We are looking for authors from these fields, who engage
critically with the role of technology for a Degrowth society.
Authors may take critical standpoints towards the mainstream dogma of
accelerating whatever technological development and adoption to
pursue economic growth. We are looking for new ways of seeing
innovation and technologies, well-elaborated critiques of mainstream
technological optimism and economic efficiency improvements as well
as insights from other perspectives, which do not necessarily engage
directly with technology, like ethics, feminism, critical theory or
Marxism. Contributions can focus on technology in general or on
specific (controversial) technologies. Many of these may be reactions
and developments in relation to unavoidable decisions, like whether
or not to apply a controversial, or new and potentially harmful
technology.</font></font></p>

the second topical area, we are looking for contributions from
authors who are suggesting that certain technologies may be conducive
to a Degrowth society (e.g. Domènech et al., 2013), if they are made
widely available such as FAB labs, DIY, Digital Fabricators and open
source software. We invite authors to use rigorous scientific
analysis to support their arguments such as case studies, discourse
and content analysis informed by social and political theory or other
established approaches advanced in science and technology studies.
Contributions can take into account the perspectives of established
scholars in the Degrowth community (see 1.1.1), provide a critical
perspective on the idea of democratization of technology or highlight
and investigate the dangers and pitfalls. They can also present
empirical research on successful and unsuccessful democratization of
technology, which informs Degrowth debates. These can include
analyses of participatory governance and assessment of technologies
of relevance for Degrowth. Empirical examples can be from advanced
capitalist economies, emerging economies and the Global South.</font></font></p>

the third section of the special volume we are interested in articles
that start from the premise that some practical engagement with
technology will be inevitable in a Degrowth society. Thus
contributions to this section develop or explore approaches for
evaluating technologies from a Degrowth perspective. Once again they
can build on established concepts such as Illich's convivial
technology, or Schumacher's appropriate technology, but they can also
develop their own frameworks or borrow from other literatures.
Examples may be participatory approaches as those proposed in Post
Normal Science. Authors can provide case studies, share insights from
projects or experiences or build their frameworks on consistent
theoretical approaches. They can also contribute critical analysis of
the mono-dimensionality of decision-making in the context of new
technologies, focused on economic costs and benefits, while many
other dimensions remain unnoticed. We are particularly interested in
contributions, which apply well-developed evaluation frameworks to
specific technologies, able to capture Degrowth concerns.</font></font></p>
