Abstract
The answers to the ecological unsustainability of the modern regime could be grouped around two fundamental intellectual postures: reflexive modernization and post-developmentalist de-thinking. The first aims to provide subjects with an amplified reflexivity, the second on the defusing of modern agency. Against the political inconclusiveness of these two perspectives, the essay proposes to relocate the ecological question within the process of demodernization that has developed since the fall of the Wall, betting on its politicization.
Keywords: Demodernization, ecological question, reflexive modernization, post-development, new materialisms
