La permaculture est un mouvement écologiste qui a connu une remarquable croissance transnationale, à partir des années 1980. Il témoigne d’une forme d’activisme environnemental dont les sciences sociales ont du mal à saisir l’originalité. On en comprend d’autant mieux l’intérêt que la transition écologique est aussi un défi politique, celui d’élaborer l'imaginaire sociotechnique d'une société écologique. Cet ouvrage retrace l’histoire du mouvement de la permaculture et de sa diffusion planétaire, ainsi que les principales influences intellectuelles ayant contribué à l’élaboration de sa proposition culturelle et politique. Celle-ci pourrait se définir comme « l’art de réhabiter » ou comment concevoir, de manière écologiquement et socialement durable, la réponse aux besoins fondamentaux des êtres humains. À partir des résultats d’une enquête menée en Italie, l’auteure discute des apports de la permaculture à l’effort collectif pour imaginer des articulations entre les interdépendances écologiques dans un milieu, la lutte contre les inégalités et les aspirations à l’émancipation.
