Multiple Causes

Modern society's socio-environmental conflicts result from multiple causes, and responding to them is a complex, multidisciplinary venture. This article contributes to the understanding of that complexity, with a discussion of the main analytical keys that political ecology has used for the study of socio-environmental conflicts in Latin America. The article shows the important role that communication takes in this process, and argues that the Theory of Communicative Action can contribute to the political ecological analysis of socio-environmental conflicts in modern society, and can identify paths that allow the establishment of new alternative projects.Palabras clave: Socio-environmental conflicts, political ecology, Latin America, communicative action, modern society, alternative projects

Neste ensaio a abordagem dos conflitos ambientais em ‘zonas de sacrifício’ expressa o alinhamento conceitual e epistemológico de educação ambiental com o pensamento freireano e com o “ecologismo dos pobres” apoiados na Ecologia Política. A América Latina e o Brasil são territórios que tem em seu processo histórico a exploração da natureza e do ser humano, e consequentemente a emergência dos conflitos socioambientais. Objetivamos apontar algumas possíveis propostas para pensar qual agenda política pode ser comum em práticas de educação ambiental realizadas em zonas de sacrifícios. Consideramos que o campo crítico é o que melhor legitima as abordagens para a educação ambiental ‘desde del Sur’ comprometida com o enfrentamento das desigualdades e com a travessia para novas relações mais justas e emancipatórias do Bem Viver. Travels for environmental education 'from the south': one Common critical policy agenda in 'sacrifice zones' as Brazil and latin america In this test the approach of the environmental conflicts in „zones of sacrifice‟expresses the conceptual alignment and epistemológico of environmental education with the thought freireano and with “ecologismo of the poor persons” supported in the Political Ecology. The Latin America and Brazil are territories that there has in his historical process the exploration of the nature and of the human being, and consequently the emergence of the conflicts socioambientais. We aim to point to some possible proposals to think which political diary can be common in practices of environmental education carried out in zones of sacrifices. We think that the critical field is what better legitim the approaches for the environmental education „from del Sur‟ compromised with the enfrentamento of the unequalities and with the journey for more just new relations and emancipatórias of the Good to Live.

The paper focuses on ‟political correctness”, which has become a late 20th century catch-phrase in Western European and North American liberal democracies but also  has found currency in the political climate of the Asian and Eastern countries. A historical and multi-cultural review is intended as an introduction to a broader philosophical analysis of the Marxist backgrounds of political correctness and its neo-Marxist theoretical correctives in Jürgen Habermas’s theory of communicative action. My aim is to draw out both the educational and cultural implications of laying out the ethos of contemporary discourse on the foundations of the evolving dynamics of the rhetoric of political correctness.

Political Dimensions

Building on the framework of emotional political ecology, we seek to expand ways of studying the relationships between emotion, power, and environmental conflict. Our review of work in feminist studies, human geography, social psychology, social movement theory, and social and cultural anthropology suggests the need for a theoretical framework that captures the psychological, more-than-human, collective, geographical, and personal-political dimensions that intersect subjectivities in environmental conflicts. We stress the need to explicitly consider ‘the political’ at stake when researching emotions in environmental conflicts, and develop a conceptual framework for facilitating nuanced conceptualisations and analyses of subjects and power in environmental conflicts.

In this article, I identify how territory is a useful concept to explore the political ecologies of urbanization. In the Latin America region, territory is a key concept to explore urban and rural connections between (neo)extractivism, violence, and dispossession, with socio-ecological transformations in the configuration of urban spatialities. Following recent calls to re-locate both urban theory and political ecology beyond the Anglophone debate, the article proposes a dialogue between the Latin American theorization on territory and the political ecology of urbanization. Based on an empirical analysis of urbanization in Bogotá, Colombia, the article also discusses implications for urban justice with respect to territory and sustainability. Finally, the article offers some remarks to further the research agenda on the political ecology of urbanization with a focus on territory.

Sustained Success

Tourism is usually viewed uncritically and ahistorically as a body of science. Political ecology, an emerging theory, is designed to change that perspective, analysing tourism in its historical perspective and con‑ textualising the inequalities and environmental deterioration produced in its scenarios. The political ecology of tourism demonstrates how the burden of the sustained success of the activity falls on the local population who are generally overlooked or treated lightly in critical studies.. The aim is to discuss political ecology as an alternative theoretical‑critical analysis of tourism. This article deals with political ecology and its approach to tourism, offer‑ ing a different perspective on injustices and socio‑environmental conflicts. Political ecology is a theoretical and methodological alternative above all in countries in the southern hemisphere, affording a theoretical‑practical interface and alternative measurements of capital accumulation to the hegemonic tourism model
