Degrowth's Discursive Struggle for Utopia by Kylie Wrigley

Abstract This article examines movement intellectuals engaged in debates on degrowth

through a critical discourse analysis informed by social movement theorising on framing and collective identity. It applies the concept 'tightrope talk' to explain

how proponents of degrowth experience a creative discursive struggle as they attempt to develop alternative narratives within economic and scientific discourses.
