Long Time

The present research attempts to reveal how ecological (environmental) education could be conveyed through aesthetic, visual art and various creative projects. Over a long time philosophers had developed the implementation of art as a powerful tool of education. Writers, painters themselves also quite often understood their mission as a didactical one which may support and improve system of education of their time. The author will exhibit various reasons why creative education performed with the help of arts were supportive to a cultivation of ecological skills. Different aspects of Chinese thought, particularly Daoism, are presented through their potential usability for contemporary creative education of ecological topics. The author also highlights some limits and difficulties of using Chinese philosophical ideas for contemporary Western culture. Finally various creative projects used in raising ecological awareness are analyzed on their efficiency for education. Santrauka Straipsnyje nagrinėjama, kokiais aspektais ekologinė edukacija gali būti vykdoma pasitelkus estetiką, vizualiuosius menus ir įvairius kūrybinius projektus. Jau prieš daugelį šimtmečių filosofai bei pedagogikos teoretikai pastebėjo ir pabrėžė, kad menas yra galingas edukacinis įrankis. Rašytojai, dailininkai taip pat neretai jausdavosi turintys didaktinę misiją ir siekė plėtoti bei tobulinti savo laikmečio edukacinę sistemą. Straipsnyje nagrinėjamos įvairios priežastys, lemiančios, kad kūrybinė edukacija vykdoma pasitelkus įvairius menus ir geba efektyviai formuoti ekologinius įgūdžius. Taip pat nagrinėjami įvairūs kinų mąstymo tradicijų aspektai, daugiausia dėmesio sutelkiant ties daoizmo mąstymo tradicija, kuri gali būti sėkmingai panaudojama kūrybiškai taikant ekologinę edukaciją. Autorė atskleidžia kai kuriuos pavojus bei ribotumus, su kuriais susiduriama bandant kinų mąstymo tradicijose plėtojamas interpretacijas pritaikyti dabartinei Vakarų kultūrai. Taip pat parodoma, kaip įvairūs kūrybiniai projektai taikomi ugdant ekologinį žmonių sąmoningumą, svarstoma, kokios priežastys lemia jų populiarumą ir sėkmingumą.

A review of the literature reveals that interpreters’ emphasis on individual connection to the resource offers environmental educators key strategies to promote engagement and addresses critiques of environmental education practice as too generalized, behaviorist, manipulative, or negative. Interpreters serve as the nation's front-line environmental educators, with the foremost opportunity to inspire adults to engage in the free-choice learning that may, at best, motivate deeper ecological awareness and personal environmental activism. Pairing interpreters with teachers can extend the same opportunities to students.

A “questão ambiental” tem tomado a cena pública e estimulado diversos debates sobre as formas humanas de se relacionar com o mundo dito natural. O panorama contemporâneo de mal-estar perante a vida urbana conturbada tem impulsionado o desejo de “retorno à natureza” e, dessa maneira, as viagens a ambientes menos alterados têm sido procuradas e discutidas. Assim sendo, o ecoturismo vem ganhando destaque por sua proposta de se aliar ao elemento educacional a fim de superar a apreciação meramente contemplativa desses ambientes. Dessa maneira, o ecoturismo tem como ideal de sua prática a promoção de uma consciência ecológica amparada pela educação ambiental (EA). Entretanto, também é necessário relacionar o ecoturismo a temas como o consumo e a mercantilização da natureza, que culminam para que essa experiência perca seu caráter transformador e torne-se simplesmente mercadoria e espetáculo. Ademais, a EA possui diferentes vertentes de fundamentação e, assim, o ecoturismo pode basear-se em diferentes propostas educativas. A EA crítica, especificamente, apresenta-se como um projeto político-pedagógico que objetiva a formação de um sujeito (cons)ciente e capacitado a “ler e interpretar” o mundo ao seu redor, ou seja, o ambiente e as relações e conflitos inscritas nele. Dessa forma, como ação educativa, dedica-se a formação humana de um sujeito ecológico, um sujeito crítico que compreende o mundo e suas responsabilidades, assim como também age em respeito ao mundo. Então, estabelecidas as relações entre a EA e o ecoturismo buscou-se analisar se o ecoturismo como prática consciente na “natureza”, pode contribuir para a formação do sujeito ecológico fundamentado na EA crítica. Dessa maneira, tornou-se possível considerar a formação desse sujeito ecológico através da prática do ecoturismo apenas como uma “possibilidade”. Ressaltamos, então, que o caminho para essa formação precisa fundamentar-se na valorização da educação não-formal como parte legítima da formação educativa, buscando superar uma visão idealizada e superficial da natureza tanto na prática do ecoturismo, como na educação ambiental. Ecotourism, critical environmental education and ecological subject’s formation: convergences and challenges The “environmental issue” has taken the public scene and stimulated several debates regarding the human forms of relating with the so called natural world. The discommodity contemporary view relative to the troubled urban life has driven people to nurture a desire to “return to nature” and, for this reason, the travels to less altered natural environments has been sought and debated. Therefore, ecotourism has been gaining attention due to its proposal of allying visits to nature and education in order to go beyond a mere contemplative appreciation of the environment. Thus, ecotourism has aims at promoting ecological awareness supported by environmental education. However, it is necessary to associate the activity to topics such as consumption and trade of nature that result in the loss and transformation of the experience, turning the experience into mere merchandise and entertainment. Furthermore, environmental education is composed by different grounds of substantiation and, because of that, ecotourism practice can be based on a broad range of educational proposals. The critical environmental education presents itself as a political-pedagogical project that aims at the formation of an aware subject capable to “reads and interprets” the world around him, that is, the environment and the relations and conflicts contained in it. Therefore, as an educational action, it is dedicated to the human formation of an ecological subject, a critical being, that comprehends the world and his responsibilities as well as acts in respect to the planet. So, once established the relations between environmental education and ecotourism, we will assess whether ecotourism, as a conscious practice in “nature”, can contribute with the formation of an ecological being based on a critical environmental education. By this way, it was possible to consider the formation of this ecological subject through ecotourism only as a "possibility". In this paper, we emphasize that the way for this formation must be based on the valorization of non-formal education as a legitimate part of the individual’s formation, seeking to overcome an idealized and superficial vision of nature, both in ecotourism and in environmental education. KEYWORDS: Ecotourism; Critical Environmental Education; Ecological Subject.

The Impact

The formal colonial rule of Britain ended seven decades ago but the experience deeply influenced the minds of the masses and altered their lives and psyche for a long time to come. Post-colonial issues such as loss of identity, hybridity, otherness, appropriation, etc are frequently highlighted by the Anglophone writers of the sub-continent. The authors of Pakistani descent have contributed remarkably to post-colonial literature. The present research aims to analyze Nafisa Haji’s novel The Writing on My Forehead (2009) to investigate the Western influence on the minds and behaviors of the people of the subcontinent. Homi K. Bhabha's analytical lens (1994) is the primary guide for this research. Three elements of hybridity, namely mimicry, ambivalence, and unhomeliness, as proposed by Bhabha are explored. The concepts of diaspora and othering in the work under discussion are also briefly touched. This research is qualitative and descriptive in nature. The results of the detailed textual analysis indicate that various characters are hybrids of East and West. The phenomena of ambivalence and mimicry can be clearly observed in their conduct and thinking. The most important characters in this regard are Saira, Adeeba (also known as Big Nanima), and Kasim who openly mimic the Western culture. Minor characters like Adeeba’s parents and Shabana, though averse to Western culture at the surface level, are unconsciously influenced by it. The phenomena of othering, diaspora, and unhomeliness are also briefly touched. In this way, the present study sheds light on the impact of colonialism on the lives of colonial subjects and links it with the continued hegemony of the West over the Easterners. It will be helpful for students, teachers and researchers who wish to study Haji’s fiction and the impact of the phenomenon of colonialism.
