vilising process – where urbanisation coupled with the extensiveness and complexity of global human networks create a “rift” (Foster, 2000) between sites of production and consumption, allowing social inequality and environmental violence to grow (Nixon, 2011). To sustain human societies, Kallis suggests redirecting our focus from nature’s limits to processes of civilisation and decivilisation. As sociologists of the longue durée highlight, the moderation of emotions, desires, wants and preferences is ultimately a question about shifting power relations. Kallis’ contribution lies not so much in proving Malthus wrong, but in raising questions about power and inequality in relation to global sustainability.

书评：转型中的年轻工人阶级男性（男性与男子气概的批判性研究）

诋毁过程——城市化与全球人类网络的广泛性和复杂性相结合，在生产地点和消费地点之间造成了“裂痕”（Foster，2000），从而导致社会不平等和环境暴力加剧（Nixon，2011）。为了维持人类社会，卡利斯建议将我们的注意力从自然的限制转向文明和去文明化的过程。正如 longue durée 的社会学家所强调的那样，情绪、欲望、欲望和偏好的缓和最终是一个关于权力关系转移的问题。卡利斯的贡献不在于证明马尔萨斯是错误的，而在于提出与全球可持续性相关的权力和不平等的问题。
