In the context of the increasingly present policies of circular economy and the emergence of “Circular Bioeconomy” (CB), this article presents the results of a literature review on the sociometabolic research of biomasses. Six schools of thought are identified and distinguished according to their authors, their conceptions of metabolism, methodologies and social and spatial dimensions. Based on this state of the art, we propose an analytical framework that combines quantitative and qualitative approaches at the territorial scale, drawing upon the currents of Territorial Ecology and Political Ecology. This framework enhances our understanding and provides a critical perspective on the geography of CB. We compare discourses to actual practices by analysing biomass flows and power relations while adopting a critical perspective toward circular economy policies.

迈向“循环生物经济”的领土和政治生态：代谢研究 30 年回顾


在循环经济政策日益出台和“循环生物经济”（CB）出现的背景下，本文介绍了生物质社会代谢研究的文献综述结果。根据其作者、新陈代谢概念、方法论以及社会和空间维度，识别和区分了六种思想流派。基于这种最新技术，我们借鉴领土生态学和政治生态学的潮流，提出了一个分析框架，在领土尺度上结合了定量和定性方法。该框架增强了我们的理解，并提供了对 CB 地理的批判性视角。我们通过分析生物质流量和权力关系，同时对循环经济政策采取批判性视角，将话语与实际实践进行比较。
