Though this alternative logic is indirectly evident in the resuscitation of #paganic rituals in #regenerativedesign movements, particularly in relation to Celticism and the contemporary Celtic revival.

What comes after regenerative Design? Contemporary ecodesign imaginaries narrate the field as evolving from impoverished technocratic practices to politically conscious systemic approaches. This paper challenges this folk historiography by showing how technocratic ecodesign imaginaries are shaped through the historically mediating role of industrial capital and continuously re-embedded in the field by deterministic teleological analysis that obscures counterfactual and politically aware alternatives. In the pursuit of anti-technocratic meaning, the analysis shows how contemporary regenerative ecodesigners invoke Indigenous (Celtic motifs) knowledge to signal a decolonial mindset, yet do so in nativist, essentialising and socially deterministic ways. Illuminating how such frames become embedded in the field’s futures enables understanding of how contemporary design movements reproduce conditions that constrain those futures. Attentiveness to these analytical flaws is key to resisting complacency and developing adequate ecological design responses amid unstable climatic futures and the wider context of reactionary politics.

Though this logic is implicitly evident in the resuscitation of #paganic rituals in #regenerativedesign movements, particularly in relation to Celticism and the contemporary Celtic revival.
