Description
Summary:This paper presents a short overview on 1960-1970s ecological mobilizations in France and the United States, at the origins of western contemporary ecology, and compares them with current mobilizations along several features. For both periods we analyze the main environmental issues at stake, the dominant subjects that are debated, some key authors inspiring those mobilizations, the main sociodemographic trends and the relations between the mobilizations and the political system. Despite different contexts we can highlight similarities on local-based actions, personal commitments, and experiments aiming at a radical transformation of the society.
