Abstract: The recent trend towards alternative food production and dietary practices is framed by discourses on degrowth and sustainability, which call for alternatives to the hegemonic growth paradigm and increasingly question the present order. At the same time, they appeal to the conscience of individual subjects and place individual (consumer) choices into the broader context of socio-ecological discourses of responsibility. Starting from this observation, the paper investigates governmentality and the concept of counter-conduct as promising analytical tools. By re-tracing the complex interplay of discourses of responsibility and processes of subjectivation, even practices of resistance are shown to always remain embedded in modes of domination and self-conduct.
