DESCRIPTION:Dominant narratives of green growth and sustainable developme
 nt rest upon uncritical distinctions between ‘techne’ and ‘oikos’ on the
  one hand\, and ‘oikos’ and ‘logos’ on the other. In other words\, the r
 elevance of science and technology is often taken for granted for a desi
 red social and ecological change. Partly as a reaction to this\, degrowt
 h scholarship has shown how modern technoscientific systematizations per
 petuate the capitalist growth economy and facilitates the increasing exp
 loitation of people\, and nature as a whole. However\, there seems to re
 main an incipient optimism towards new technologies and scientific disco
 veries among degrowth proponents and researchers that are often motivate
 d by ‘non-essentialist’ and ‘de-romantic’ theoretical assumptions.\n\nWi
 thout idealizing the past or reducing the world to essences\, this study
  first proposes a typology consisting of four varieties of science and t
 echnology optimism. Second\, the study identifies contentious technoscie
 ntific proposals within the degrowth literature\, dissects them\, and ca
 tegorizes them through the proposed typology. The study analyzes degrowt
 h proposals for a Green New Deal\, positive takes on the global mega-pro
 duction of cheap renewables\, and more. Third\, the study finds proposal
 s within degrowth based on positivist epistemologies and/or de-materiali
 zed ontologies\, which may lead to fundamental misunderstandings of what
  a convivial and just degrowth is from the prospects of modern science a
 nd technology.\n
