Abstract

The novelty of this book is emphasized in this chapter in which the theoretical foundations of economies and Degrowth are analytically overlapped and integrated with the Transition Towns literature, to achieve a change of perspective necessary to change the collective imagination. This chapter is divided into two main parts. The first part is a debate between the Club of Rome, Serge Latouche, and the application of resilience framed as a tool to achieve the buen vivír, while the second part is intended as a new reading key and complementary to the implementation of a Degrowth society, devoted to community resilience and to the rise of homo resaliens. In this a new term, homo resaliens, was coined, discussed and defined to explain the attempt to fill a gap in the literature, integrate two existing literatures, and to strengthen the narrative framework of the concept of sense of community and related values and tools.
