20.500.12556/RUP-23354 The prefigurative politics of enactable sustainability transformations in the present The concept of “prefigurative politics” invites geographers to envision transformative change through a shift in practices stemming from a micro level. This article examines and substantiates how this idea is mobilised in relation to current sustainability transformations. A large interdisciplinary group of geographers and transition scholars present topic clusters of prefigurative enablers that instigate and catalyse the enactment of transformative policymaking towards sustainable futures. Drawing on dozens of rich and diverse examples to illustrate cases of transformation, we provide a conceptual perspective to advance the theoretical discussion about triggers and processes of transformative change amongst geographers. We argue for three principles for examining the prefigurative politics of present transformation: (a) multi-scalarity, to consider prefigurative politics across personal-systemic spheres; (b) boundary transgression, to span interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary as well as inward- and outward-looking prefigurative politics; and (c) temporalities, to address institutionalisation and change processes that play out along short and long timelines. Approaching present transformations through a prefigurative politics lens helps identify scope for action that aligns with transformative change. We argue for wider deployment of these principles, to synthesise scholarship, channel micro-level prefigurative political efforts into systemic transformative change, and guide future research and policymaking towards sustainability transformations. Koncept »prefigurativne politike« spodbuja geografe k razmišljanju o transformativnih spremembah, ki izhajajo iz spremembe praks na mikroravni. Ta članek preučuje in utemeljuje, kako se ta koncept uporablja v povezavi s sodobnimi trajnostnimi preobrazbami. Velika interdisciplinarna skupina geografov in raziskovalcev družbenih prehodov predstavlja tematske sklope prefigurativnih dejavnikov, ki spodbujajo in pospešujejo uresničevanje transformativnega oblikovanja politik za trajnostno prihodnost. Na podlagi številnih bogatih in raznolikih primerov preobrazb prispevek ponuja konceptualni pogled, ki nadgrajuje teoretično razpravo o sprožilcih in procesih transformativnih sprememb v geografiji. Avtorji zagovarjajo tri temeljna načela za proučevanje prefigurativne politike sodobnih preobrazb: (a) večnivojskost (multi-scalarity), ki omogoča obravnavo prefigurativne politike od osebne do sistemske ravni; (b) preseganje meja (boundary transgression), ki povezuje interdisciplinarne in transdisciplinarne pristope ter navznoter in navzven usmerjene oblike prefigurativne politike; ter (c) časovnosti (temporalities), ki obravnavajo procese institucionalizacije in sprememb, ki potekajo tako na kratkih kot na dolgih časovnih lestvicah. Obravnava sodobnih preobrazb skozi prizmo prefigurativne politike omogoča prepoznavanje možnosti za delovanje, ki je usklajeno s cilji transformativnih sprememb. Avtorji zagovarjajo širšo uporabo teh načel za povezovanje raziskovalnih spoznanj, usmerjanje prefigurativnih političnih prizadevanj na mikroravni v sistemske transformativne spremembe ter usmerjanje prihodnjih raziskav in oblikovanja politik v podporo trajnostnim preobrazbam. prefigurative politics transformation sustainability prefigurativna politika transformacija trajnost true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2026-07-22 09:14:10 2026-07-22 09:14:15 2026-07-23 03:05:49 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2025 0 0 str. 161-173 iss. 4 Vol. 79 2025 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova NiDoloceno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 2026-04-22 502.131.1:91 1502-5292 10.1080/00291951.2026.2648496 285637379 RAZ_Sareen_Siddharth_2025.pdf RAZ_Sareen_Siddharth_2025.pdf 1 10D5AB2F4E81DDB5E925DB7AEEEE63E9 c0c0cb73eec925458333017af75fa4dc068ea5e07c9bb13088b0ad3fd0e4c2e2 1f56db30-859d-11f1-9e8d-005056ac49c0 https://repozitorij.upr.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=34162 https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/00291951.2026.2648496 1 c011ea03-859c-11f1-9e8d-005056ac49c0 https://repozitorij.upr.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=34161 Fakulteta za matematiko, naravoslovje in informacijske tehnologije 0 0 0
