Summary

Description

Helix pomatia

Deutsch: Weinbergschnecke
English: Picture of a grapevine snail.
Français : Escargot de Bourgogne.
Español: Caracol de Borgoña.

Nota: Muchas organizaciones que apoyan el decrecimiento, han adoptado como logo el caracol, en referencia a las ideas de Iván Illich sobre la "Lógica del Caracol". Iván Illich señala que «El caracol construye la delicada arquitectura de su concha añadiendo una tras otra las espiras cada vez más amplias. Después cesa bruscamente esa tarea y comienza a enroscarse esta vez en decrecimiento, ya que una sola espira más daría a la concha una dimensión 16 veces más grande, lo que en lugar de contribuir al bienestar del animal, lo sobrecargaría; y desde entonces, cualquier aumento de su productividad serviría sólo para paliar las dificultades creadas por esta ampliación de la concha, fuera de los límites fijados por su finalidad. Pasado el punto límite de la ampliación de las espiras, los problemas del sobrecrecimiento se multiplican en progresión geométrica, mientras que la capacidad biológica del caracol sólo puede, en el mejor de los casos, seguir una progresión aritmética».

« L’escargot », nous explique Ivan Illich, « construit la délicate architecture de sa coquille en ajoutant l’une après l’autre des spires toujours plus larges, puis il cesse brusquement et commence des enroulements cette fois décroissants. C’est qu’une seule spire encore plus large donnerait à la coquille une dimension seize fois plus grande. Au lieu de contribuer au bien-être de l’animal, elle le surchargerait. Dès lors, toute augmentation de sa productivité servirait seulement à pallier les difficultés créées par cet agrandissement de la coquille au-delà des limites fixées par sa finalité. Passé le point limite d’élargissement des spires, les problèmes de la surcroissance se multiplient en progression géométrique, tandis que la capacité biologique de l’escargot ne peut, au mieux, que suivre une progression arithmétique »
