Social movements, in Canada and around the world, offer a rich window to study social actors as they struggle for power and justice. Relatively less explored in the academic literature is the role of social movements as a site of learning. In this article, the authors synthesize several theoretical frameworks for social movement learning and apply them to extensive fieldwork, in 2009, during Sri Lankan Tamil protests in Toronto and during Indigenous land and water defence in Beausoleil First Nation. They argue that such movements can serve as a powerful educational environment and explore how learning takes place by understanding the sources and sharing of knowledge, how the social identities of participants are consequential for learning, and the underlying social, economic, and political forces that shape movements and their emergence. Ultimately, the authors claim that understanding the learning that takes place in social movements in Canada helps us understand broader political struggles and discourse in the Canadian context and beyond, including critical new forms of solidarity.

- Abstract
Environmental degradation is a global concern with cross-curricular significance. However, it is often absent from English classrooms due to educators' limited pedagogical expertise in this domain. This article endeavours to promote the integration of environmental themes into English language instruction by presenting and analysing an instructional didactic proposal centred on the film Avatar (2009). As such, the article explores the principles of eco-education and the possible advantages of employing cinema as an educational tool. The authors implemented a film-based eco-education teaching unit in two high school classes and assessed its impact through an autoethnographic method. The results revealed that, while the English students encountered challenges with the approach, the proposed teaching unit positively influenced their environmental awareness and proactivity. It also cultivated an engaging learning environment, thereby enhancing various aspects of their linguistic competence. Consequently, this paper serves as a model for the implementation of environmental approaches in English classrooms, an area that has seen limited exploration by researchers, and which both teachers and scholars have requested. In broader terms, given the nature of the participants’ difficulties when working on the proposal, the findings reveal that there is a need to update teaching methods in English formal instruction and to provide further guidance on the didactic exploitation of films., La destrucción ambiental es un problema global, que se trata como contenido transversal en el currículo. Sin embargo, está poco presente en las aulas de inglés debido a la falta de conocimiento pedagógico de los profesores en este ámbito. Este artículo tiene como objetivo promover la incorporación de aspectos medioambientales en la enseñanza del inglés presentando y analizando una propuesta didáctica instructiva basada en la película Avatar (2009). Por lo tanto, el artículo explora los principios de la eco-educación y las posibles ventajas de la enseñanza basada en cine. Los autores implementaron la unidad didáctica en dos clases de secundaria y examinaron su impacto mediante un método auto-etnográfico. Los resultados mostraron que, aunque los estudiantes de inglés tuvieron dificultades para seguir el enfoque empleado, la propuesta tuvo un impacto positivo en su conciencia medioambiental y proactividad, y creó un entorno de aprendizaje estimulante, mejorando así varios aspectos de su competencia lingüística. El artículo constituye, por tanto, un modelo para la implementación de enfoques medioambientales en las aulas de inglés, algo que pocos investigadores han hecho hasta el momento y que tanto profesores como académicos han solicitado. En términos más generales, y dada la naturaleza de las dificultades que mostraron los participantes cuando trabajaron en la propuesta, los datos revelan que es necesario actualizar los métodos en la enseñanza formal del inglés y proporcionar más orientaciones para la explotación didáctica de películas., La dégradation de l’environnement est un problème mondial et un contenu interdisciplinaire dans le programme scolaire. Cependant, l’environnement n’est guère abordé en classe d’anglais du fait du manque de connaissances pédagogiques des enseignants en la matière. Cet article vise à promouvoir l’intégration d’aspects environnementaux dans l’enseignement de l’anglais en présentant et analysant une proposition didactique instructive basée sur le film Avatar (2009). Il explore donc les principes de l’éco-éducation et les avantages possibles de l’enseignement basé sur le cinéma. Les auteurs ont mis en place l’unité didactique dans deux classes du secondaire et ont examiné son impact selon une méthode auto-ethnographique. Les résultats ont révélé que, même si les étudiants d’anglais ont éprouvé des difficultés à suivre l’approche utilisée, la proposition a eu un impact positif sur leur conscience environnementale et leur proactivité, et a créé une atmosphère d’apprentissage stimulante, améliorant ainsi plusieurs aspects de leur compétence linguistique. L’article constitue donc un modèle pour la mise en œuvre des approches écologiques en classe d’anglais, ce que peu des chercheurs ont expérimenté jusqu’à présent et que des enseignants et des intellectuels ont réclamé. De façon plus générale, et compte tenu de la nature des difficultés rencontrées par les participants, les données montrent qu’il est nécessaire d’actualiser les méthodes de l’enseignement formel de l’anglais et de fournir des orientations supplémentaires pour l’exploitation didactique des films.

- Abstract
Are alternative energies and Green New Deals enough to deliver environmental justice? Peter Gelderloos argues that international governmental responses to the climate emergency are structurally incapable of solving the crisis. But there is hope. Across the world, grassroots networks of local communities are working to realise their visions of an alternative revolutionary response to planetary destruction, often pitted against the new megaprojects promoted by greenwashed alternative energy infrastructures and the neocolonialist, technocratic policies that are the forerunners of the Green New Deal. Gelderloos interviews food sovereignty activists in Venezuela, Indigenous communities reforesting their lands in Brazil and anarchists fighting biofuel plantations in Indonesia, looking at the battles that have cancelled airports, stopped pipelines, and helped the most marginalised to fight borders and environmental racism, to transform their cities, to win a dignified survival.

Cet article s’intéresse à l’articulation des thèmes de la décolonisation, du genre et des luttes environnementales. L’écoféminisme soutient que les impacts négatifs de la destruction environnementale touchent davantage les femmes, et que le patriarcat joue un rôle dans l’industrie de l’exploitation des ressources. À l’intersection de l’oppression du genre et du colonialisme de peuplement, les femmes autochtones et les personnes bispirituelles revendiquent elles aussi une connexion indéniable entre l’extractivisme et le patriarcat. Un regard critique des écoféminismes permet de souligner le manque de compréhension des enjeux du colonialisme de peuplement. La lutte actuelle des défenseures du territoire chez les Wet’suwet’en envers le projet de gazoduc Coastal GasLink (CGL) dans le nord de la Colombie-Britannique permet de situer concrètement certains enjeux de compatibilité entre écoféminismes et décolonisation. Cet article souligne la présence importante des femmes et des personnes bispirituelles dans le leadership de la campagne contre CGL, et offre des pistes de réflexion sur les modalités des solidarités non-autochtones.

There is widespread confusion about the connection between COVID-19 and the larger problem of climate change. This article investigates the connection between the pandemic and climate crises in three ways. First, it examines how impactful emission reductions inspired by COVID-19 have helped prevent future climate catastrophe. Second, it shows why this pandemic is not a climate emergency at all but a routine feature of history. However, the article insists that these crises are connected by the anthropogenic influence of capitalism. Third, it examines ways that the pandemic has shifted beliefs that could be harnessed to help prevent the worst impacts of climate catastrophe, which remains the biggest problem to ever face life on earth.

Cet article analyse les évolutions récentes en ce qui a trait à l’activisme environnemental, et plus particulièrement les mouvements axés sur la reconfiguration des flux matériels (material flows).Le souhait de durabilité a engendré un intérêt à changer la relation matérielle entre les humains, les autres êtres vivants et le monde physique. De plus en plus de groupes écologiques refusent maintenant de prendre part à des pratiques et à des institutions non durables; insatisfaits des solutions purement individualistes et consuméristes, ils accordent une importance croissante à la restructuration des pratiques quotidiennes de distribution, comme l’alimentation durable, l’énergie renouvelable et la fabrication. Cette transition vers un matérialisme plus durable est étudiée à l’aide de trois cadres : un dépassement d’une conception individualiste et centrée sur les valeurs du post-matérialisme pour privilégier les pratiques et les institutions collectives centrées sur la satisfaction des besoins de base; les concepts de gouvernementalité et de biopolitique de Foucault, qui articulent les modes de pouvoir autour de la circulation des choses, de l’information et des individus; et d’un nouvel éthos entourant un matérialisme à la fois vibrant et durable reconnaissant expressément l’immersion humaine dans les systèmes naturels non humains. Ces cadres nous permettent d’observer et d’interpréter des thèmes communs aux nombreuses initiatives, en apparence disparates, visant à remplacer les pratiques non durables et à forger des flux alternatifs.

Dans la deuxième moitié du XIXe siècle, les élites françaises justifient la colonisation des forêts algériennes par la nécessité de les protéger des impacts supposés qu’auraient les usages forestiers locaux sur ces environnements fragiles. Cet article vise à confronter les discours de ces élites, qui érigent les forestiers en protecteurs des forêts, aux pratiques effectives de pouvoir de ces administrateurs coloniaux sur le terrain. À travers l’étude du parcours de l’un d’entre eux, le garde général Eugène Grené, en poste en Algérie entre 1873 et 1884, il s’agit de montrer comment les représentations sur la nécessité de protéger les forêts peuvent être mobilisées pour justifier et renforcer des politiques coloniales fondées sur la coercition. In the second half of the 19th century, French elites justified the colonization of Algerian forests by the need to protect these fragile environments from the alleged impact of local forestry practices. This article aims to compare and contrast the discourse of these elites, who established foresters as protectors of the forests, with the actual power practices of these colonial administrators on the ground. Through the study of the career of Guard General Eugène Grené, posted in Algeria between 1873 and 1884, this article will show how the need to protect the forests can be mobilized to justify and reinforce colonial policies based on coercion.

L’incapacité des autorités étatiques à faire face à la pollution croissante du Gange a conduit le chef d’un des temples les plus importants de Varanasi (Inde du Nord) à créer l’O.N.G. Sankat Mochan Foundation. Il convient d’examiner les solutions envisagées par ce responsable religieux pour protéger le fleuve, les légitimations qu’il tire de l’enseignement de l’hindouisme sur la nature et la façon dont il harmonise les premières et les secondes au nom de son autorité religieuse.

The so-called “Scenic Hudson case” pitted an alliance of environmental groups against the Continental Edison Power Company, which planned to install the world’s largest hydro station atop Storm King Mountain in the scenic Hudson Highlands region of New York State. The case is famous for revising the legal notion of standing as it pertains to environmental cases, in addition to introducing aesthetic interests as a legitimate factor when considered the impact that public works projects will have for local populations. The fact that the power station was never built seems to confirm that the case constitutes a victory for environmentalism and a significant step forward for environmental law. However, a closer consideration of the laws upon which the decision was based reveals that Scenic Hudson v. Federal Power Commission (1964) merely affirmed already established doctrine and in fact nearly failed to achieve the outcome now hailed as ground breaking. This article re-examines the case in light of this larger legal and political context. Résumé : La célèbre affaire Scenic Hudson a opposé une alliance de groupements environnementaux à la Continental Edison Power Company qui prévoyait d’installer la plus grande centrale hydroélectrique du monde au sommet de Storm King Mountain, dans la région pittoresque des Hudson Highlands, au sein de l’État de New York. Elle est célèbre pour avoir amené à réviser les formes juridiques de l’intervention dans les affaires environnementales et pour avoir introduit les intérêts esthétiques comme critère légitime, compte tenu de l’impact que les projets de travaux publics ont sur les populations locales. Le fait que la centrale n’ait jamais été construite semble confirmer que l’affaire constitue une victoire pour l’environnementalisme et une avancée significative pour le droit de l’environnement. Cependant, un examen plus approfondi des lois sur lesquelles la décision était fondée révèle que Scenic Hudson v. Federal Power Commission (1964) n’a fait que confirmer les principes déjà établis et a en réalité failli échouer à atteindre le résultat, pourtant salué depuis cette décision comme révolutionnaire. Cet article réexamine l’affaire à la lumière de ce contexte juridique et politique plus large.

In a society dominated by a colorblind approach to racial difference, racial categories are often viewed as unchanging and constructed in a time past. This article examines the making of racial categories and subjectivities in everyday perceptions and portrayals of place and belonging related to environmentalism. It examines the ways in which middle-class white people, who engage regularly with Latino immigrants, simultaneously construct the racial category of ‘white’ and affirm their own belonging in Boulder, Colorado through an exclusionary discourse of environmentalism. In Boulder, immigrants and non-immigrant Latinos are often portrayed as unaware of environmentalism, not interested in environmentalism, and/or too busy or poor to participate in environmentalism. In interviews, white residents of the city reproduce discourses of privilege and exclusion through environmental discourses and reinforce their own white environmental subjectivity as the norm. The insider/outsider division established through environmental discourse in Boulder is a specific example of how exclusion is enforced through the racialization of ‘natural’ spaces and environmental activities and how environmentalism itself is an important articulation of difference.

This article focuses on the discourse on environmentalism in the Darjeeling hills, which has been hidden and/or overshadowed by factors such as ethnicity, nationalism and state-making. Centring on what I call the ‘environmentalism of the hills’, this article examines the history of environmentalism in the Indian Himalayas that was shaped by how British colonialism controlled territories, resources and subjects. I show how colonialism resulted in a distinct separation between humans and nature as suggested by Deborah Bird Rose (2013). Identifying the Darjeeling hills as one of the important locations for Himalayan scholarship, I conceptualise the ‘environmentalism of the hills’ as one of the possible ways of rethinking the debate on environmentalism in the Himalayas. In this article, I develop a framework that encourages an exchange of views on different varieties of environmentalism in academic scholarship, taking into account specific local histories and cultural contexts, and how these are embedded in and shaped by more encompassing larger ideational frameworks. Cet article se concentre sur le discours sur l'environnementalisme dans les Darjeeling hills, masqué par des facteurs tels que l'ethnicité, le nationalisme et la construction de l'État. Centré sur ce que j'appelle 'l'environnementalisme des collines', il examine l'histoire de l'environnementalisme dans l'Himalaya indien, façonné par la façon dont le colonialisme britannique a contrôlé les territoires, les ressources et les sujets. Je montre comment le colonialisme a entraîné une séparation distincte entre les humains et la nature, comme le suggère Deborah Bird Rose (2013). En identifiant les Darjeeling hills comme l'un des lieux importants pour la recherche himalayenne, je conceptualise 'l'environnementalisme des collines' comme l'une des manières possibles de repenser le débat sur l'environnementalisme dans l'Himalaya. Dans cet article, je développe un cadre qui encourage un échange de points de vue sur les différentes variétés d'environnementalisme dans la recherche académique, en tenant compte des histoires locales et des contextes culturels spécifiques, et de la façon dont ceux-ci sont intégrés et façonnés par des cadres idéologiques plus larges.

16. De fantasmas indios y otros olvidados. El cine de terror como vindicación de minorías sociales y la extinción natural.

Santa Cruz, Antonio Míguez
- Abstract
Since the dawn of time, all civilizations throughout history have created or believe in ghosts; But beyond half-religious or transcendental facts, the figure of the returned entity hides a multitude of social, historical or anthropological readings that worth to be mentioned. The case we would like to highlight is the enormous amount of outcast or marginalized specters when they were alive belonging to some minority of a given society. A widely studied case is that one of women in Japanese culture, although it can also be applied to North American culture through the presence of the spirits of Indians or black people. From the beginning, Cinema, as the most popular artistic movement or platform for entertainment, has exploited the horror genre, that is why it seem interesting for us to use this medium for doing a review of those films where native Americans or black slaves appear. Thus, we try to demonstrate that we are facing the narrative or fictional counter-reply to two traumas still present in the US society: on one side, the supremacy, so sadly experienced in our time, and on the other, the enduring dichotomy between progress and ecologism.

This article proposes a Scale that enables a reflective discussion of environmentalist identity profiles. Environmentalism is a central element of 21st century identity and, however, the literature fails in environmentalist typologies that allow reflection and positions on the topic. The methodology followed in this work implied a historical analysis of environmentalism. Such analysis resulted in 8 subscales that are aggregated in a single methodological instrument: the Environmentalist Identity Scale (EIA). The main contribution is to provide a simple instrument that allows a reflexive approach of each subject to a set of ideal types of environmentalist identities, supporting active intervention methodologies.

International audience; L’Espagne du xxe siècle voit se succéder deux régimes autoritaires, celui de Primo de Rivera (1923-1930) puis celui de Franco (1936-1975). Dans ce contexte institutionnel imposant de fortes contraintes aux populations, comment s’est opéré un tournant environnemental spécifique ? De fait, les projets de mobilisation de l’environnement au service du projet politique franquiste suscitent des réactions des populations concernées, aussi bien dans des zones rurales qu’en ville. Dès lors, les protestations peuvent aussi bien prendre la forme de mobilisations sur le terrain que de recours au droit. C’est donc sous Franco et dans le contexte des revendications démocratiques qu’une nouvelle conscience populaire et environnementale s’est mise en place.

- Abstract
The theory of planned behavior (TPB) allows researchers to identify the determinants of environmental behavior and subsequently target these factors in interventions. Multiple studies on conservation behaviors have recently applied this theoretical framework in both organizational and domestic settings. To shed more light on how the TPB was used in these studies, we conducted a literature review with the following objectives: 1) explore which individual green behaviors were studied though the lens of the TPB, 2) understand how scholars have used the theory and what variance the theory has helped to explain, and 3) formulate recommendations, if necessary, for improving the use of the theory. The review of the results from 126 publications demonstrated that the majority of scholars tend to overlook the importance of identifying and evaluating indirect variables (beliefs) that affect behaviors. More than half of the analyzed articles did not report the amount of explained variance, which undermines the principal strength of the theory. Scholars could obtain more substantial and consistent results if the guidelines regarding the application of the theory are consistently respected. More specifically, four aspects should be considered in the application of the theory: choice of framework, decision to extend the original model, methodology, and results. To help scholars overcome these commonly encountered problems, this article suggests a roadmap with several guiding questions and possible answers.

The desire for sustainability has spawned an interest in changing the material relationship between humans, other beings, and the non-human realm. No longer willing to take part in unsustainable practices and institutions, and not satisfied with purely individualistic and consumer responses, a growing focus of environmental movement groups is on restructuring everyday practices of circulation, for example, on sustainable food, renewable energy, and making. The shift to a more sustainable materialism is examined using three frameworks: a move beyond an individualist and value-focused notion of post-materialism, into a focus on collective practices and institutions for the provision of the basic needs of everyday life; Foucault’s conceptions of governmentality and biopolitics, which articulate modes of power around the circulation of things, information, and individuals; and a new ethos around vibrant and sustainable materialism with an explicit recognition of human immersion in non-human natural systems. These frames allow us to see and interpret common themes across numerous, seemingly disparate initiatives focused on replacing unsustainable practices and forging alternative flows.

This article traces the emergence of climate change discourse and its related practices in one of the largest and globally most influential Taiwanese Buddhist organizations – Tzu-Chi (Buddhist Compassion Relief Tzu-Chi Association). The authors analyse more than 500 volumes of Tzu-Chi’s periodicals and describe its recycling practice from the social organizational perspective. Our findings suggest that climate change discourse has emerged in recent years as a response to increasing natural disasters, particularly typhoons. Practices such as recycling are implemented in order to address this crisis through the cultivation of a disciplined inner self. The article compensates for the lack of current studies on what Buddhist organizations actually do for the environment and how they address climate change. It also offers a correction to the studies on environmental movements, in which religious environmentalism is often overlooked. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

More than half of the analyzed articles did not report the amount of explained variance, which undermines the principal strength of the theory. Scholars could obtain more substantial and consistent results if the guidelines regarding the application of the theory are consistently respected. More specifically, four aspects should be considered in the application of the theory: choice of framework, decision to extend the original model, methodology, and results. To help scholars overcome these commonly encountered problems, this article suggests a roadmap with several guiding questions and possible answers

La definición de la base social del ambientalismo es una de las principales cuestiones a las que se enfrenta la sociología ambiental. En el presente artículo se pretende introducir la discusión sobre la existencia de una base social que fundamente la introducción de regulaciones ambientales en el medio rural y en la agricultura, que es una de las principales medidas de acompañamiento de la nueva PAC. Se utilizan como fuentes de información las diferentes encuestas monográficas, de ámbito nacional, que sobre el medio ambiente se han realizado en España. La definició de la base social de l'ambientalisme és una de les qüestions principals a les quals s'enfronta la sociologia ambiental. En aquest article es pretén introduir la discussió sobre l'existència d'una base social que fonamenti la introducció de regulacions ambientals en el medi rural i en l'agricultura, que és una de les mesures principals d'acompanyament de la nova PAC. S'utilitzen com a fonts d'informació les diverses enquestes monogràfiques, d'àmbit nacional, que sobre el medi ambient s'han realitzat a Espanya. La définition de la base sociale de 1'"environnementalisme" est une des principales questions à laquelle se trouve enfrontée la sociologie de I'environnement. Cet article essaie d'introduire le débat sur l'existence d'un fondement sociale que justifie la création d'une regulation de l'environnement dans le milieu rural et dans l'agriculture, un des principaux moyens de suivi de la nouvelle PAC. Comme è ressources d'information ont été prisses les différentes enquêtes monographiques en relation à l'environnement fetes à niveau national en Espagne. 'The definition of the social basis of environmentalism is one of the main problems facing environmental sociology. This article attempts to initiate discussion on the existence of an underlying social basis for the introduction of environmental regulations in rural areas and in agriculture, one of the principal measures involved in the new PAC.

- Abstract
The article examines the relationship between climate and cultural war within the political context of the contemporary United States. It offers a brief overview of the concept of cultural war and aims to demonstrate how the debate surrounding climate change is related to other debates such as abortion and gay marriage. Topics of discussion include the notion of cultural war according to American sociologist James D. Hunter, climate change skepticism and the argument that capitalism and the consumer society are at stake, and the political class against public opinion.

An attempt to build the world's largest nuclear power plant on a tiny island off the south shore of Nova Scotia in the early 1970s sparked an anti-nuclear movement that was able, by the end of the decade, to force the provincial government to abandon plans for a united regional electric utility. The provincial movement shared in the creation of national, continental, and even global campaigns against nuclear technology but was fractious within itself. Bringing together peace activists, feminists, counterculture back-to-the-landers, along with classic conservationists, engineers, and fishers' advocates, the anti-nuclear coalition faced inevitable internal disagreement. By the late 1970s, different approaches to government and industry - as partners or as adversaries - had produced a nascent environmental mainstream, and by extension a radical fringe, from activist groups and networks that had achieved success by working together in prior years. The anti-nuclear controversy of the 1970s was key to the shape of the environmental movement in decades to follow. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Près de cent cinquante ans séparent la publication de The Pioneers, roman inaugural du cycle des Leatherstocking Tales de James Fenimore Cooper, et Desert Solitaire, d’Edward Abbey. Cette distance temporelle offre une vision panoramique des métamorphoses de la wilderness, tant en terme de dégénérescence écologique que de représentation littéraire. Avec l’éveil d’une conscience environnementale, ce territoire se transfigure progressivement. S’il semble en premier lieu une source symbolique et esthétique de représentation du paysage au XIXe siècle, le statut de la wilderness évolue parallèlement à la découverte de son statut d’écosystème aux ressources périssables et finies, face aux ambitions infinies de la civilisation industrielle. Nearly a hundred and fifty years separate the publication of The Pioneers, the first novel of James Fenimore Cooper’s Leatherstocking Tales in 1823, from Desert Solitaire, published by Edward Abbey in 1968. These two texts propose a representation of the evolution of the american wilderness. The time distance that separates them offers a panoramic vision of the metamorphosis of this area, both in terms of industrial destruction and of new forms of literary representations. This article offers to study the misgeneration of this territory and the transformation of its depiction.

Les poèmes de Kenneth White montrent la majesté du monde physique. Lieux de l’écrit, ils écrivent des lieux et accueillent la présence des choses et des êtres muets. Pour donner voix au dehors, le poète s’efface et révèle que le monde est aussi ordre et beauté. Lire le poème comme un lieu de rencontre entre un sujet et la matière rend attentif au texte lui-même et rappelle que sans le soutien des formes d’art l’éthique environnementale risque de rester lettre morte Kenneth White’s poems show the majesty of world. Places of writing, his poems welcome the presence of natural things and beings. In order to give voice to the outside, the poet disappears and reveals world’s beauty. The aesthetic requirement of poetry is imperative, because our capacity for destruction is great. Reading White’s poems as a way to meet the oustide reminds that art is essential to an ecological ethic.

En Espagne, les enjeux écologiques furent pris en compte assez tardivement par les responsables politiques. Les premières politiques publiques menées en la matière furent celles mises en œuvre par le premier gouvernement socialiste de l’Espagne démocratique, conduit par Felipe González entre 1982 et 1986. L’influence de la Communauté Économique Européenne est déterminante pour comprendre les différentes mesures en faveur de l’environnement impulsées par le Parti Socialiste Ouvrier Espagnol, dont le corps doctrinal et programmatique n’avait jusqu’alors que très peu intégré les problématiques écologiques Spanish political leaders started to take ecological issues into consideration relatively late. Early governmental policies dealing with ecology were implemented in democratic Spain by the first Socialist party in power, under the leadership of Felipe González, between 1982 and 1986. The influence of the European Economic Community is very important to understand the various environmental measures introduced by the Spanish Socialist Worker’s Party who, until that time, had not included ecology in their ideological agenda

RESUMEN: Perú y Ecuador son dos productores medianos de hidrocarburos, a escala de América Latina: el primero es exportador de gas natural y el segundo de petróleo, lo que genera una renta significativa para el financiamiento de las políticas públicas en ambos casos. Sin embargo, los conflictos ambientales relacionados con la extracción, el transporte y la comercialización de estos recursos naturales evidencian tensiones entre las necesidades de financiamiento para el desarrollo económico y social, por un lado, y para la protección del medio ambiente, por el otro. A partir de esta hipótesis, el presente artículo analiza los factores endógenos y exógenos que resultarán determinantes para definir un modelo de desarrollo sostenible y políticas energéticas eficientes en ambos países. ABSTRACT: Peru and Ecuador are both middle-range carbon fuel producers in Latin America: one exports natural gas and the other oil, which means a significant rent for the financing of public policies in both cases. Nevertheless, environmental conflicts related to these natural resources extraction, transportation and commercialization show some tensions between financing necessities of economic and social development, on the one hand, and envi

36. L'union fait la force (géologique) : une analyse écocritique des Fourmis de Bernard Werber

Sebbfolk, Annie and Sebbfolk, Annie
- Abstract
The paper is an ecocritical analysis of the Empire of the ants, a book written in 1991 by Bernard Werber. Through this green reading, the author seeks to better understand how climate change is created from a social point of view and why, by inherence, it is so difficult to avert. As the book is largely a juxtaposition of the human society and that of ants, the author compares the two species in order to determine which one is better equipped to tackle climate change, as well as which factors, cultural, political or biological, allow for the necessary measures to be taken. The study finds that the complexity of climate change exceeds our understanding of time and space, making it impossible for us to imagine and consequently tackle in any satisfactory manner. Though ants display features superior to ours when it comes to carrying out this task, the study further concludes that there is an accompanying moral dilemma to such actions, as the environmentally profitable not always is in the best interest of individual lives.

Environmental movements depend on mass media to reach the public and shape political decision-making. Without media access, social movements experience political marginality. In this paper, we examine whether the internet is a more open space than traditional media for activists to speak on behalf of nature. Our analysis is based on newspaper coverage and environmental organization websites that focus on the conflict over the proposed Jumbo Glacier Resort ski resort in British Columbia. Environmental websites and mass media texts both define Jumbo Pass as wilderness and grizzly bear habitat, while focusing on ecological concerns as well as questions of local democracy. However, environmental group websites discuss a greater range of environmental risks and provide more detailed discussion of these issues. Environmentalist websites also integrate scientific experts and celebrity supporters to a greater degree than mass media texts, which are dominated by environmentalist, ski industry, and provincial government news sources.

La pensée écologique formule depuis son origine une critique de l’anthropocentrisme. Or celui-ci est pris dans un amalgame avec l’idée d’humanisme, qui pousse certains à critiquer l’écologie comme anti-humaniste. Et si cet amalgame était infondé ? On voudrait ici tenter de désincarcérer l’humanisme de l’anthropocentrisme, et montrer que, dans une ontologie des relations, le concept d’humanisme nécessite une formulation écologique Since its beginnings, ecological thinking has been based on a critique of anthropocentrism. However this latter concept is often mistaken for humanism, leading some to dismiss ecology as anti-humanist. What if this conflation between anthropocentrism and humanism was unfounded? This article tries to show to which extent humanism can be freed from anthropocentrism and how it demands an ecological formulation, set within an ontology of relations

En quoi les concepts et points de vue développés par le féminisme, à première vue sans lien avec la crise environnementale, permettent-ils en fait de féconder la pensée écologiste ? À travers l'étude des discussions que l'écoféminisme a tissées au fil du temps avec d'autres courants, je voudrais montrer que, loin de n'être qu'un cas particulier de la pensée écologiste, il constitue un outil de critique et de dépassement de la façon même dont les problèmes y sont généralement posés In what way do the concepts and points of view developed by feminism, which at first don't seem to have anything to do with the environmental crisis, provide productive material for the ecological reflection? Through the study of discussions that emerged over time between ecofeminism and other schools of thought, I aim to show that far from being a particular instance of the ecological reflection, it is a tool to criticize and to overcome the very way problems generally are posed

Le concept métaphorique que cet article propose d’étudier est celui du viol de la terre.

Il s’agit ainsi de rendre saillant un mode de pensée et d’action caractéristique du néo-libéralisme blanc et patriarcal The metaphorical concept that this article tackles is that of the rape of the earth. In the continuity of contemporary ecofeminist assessments, that underline the consubstantiality of the exploitation of women and natural resources, it seems relevant to observe the recurrence of this metaphor in western cultural representations. The objective is thus to shed light on a prominent mode of thinking and acting which is characteristic of white patriarcal neo-liberalism

Cet article a pour objectif d’analyser les attitudes des conservateurs et des libertariens américains à l’égard des politiques publiques de protection de l’environnement aux États-Unis en étudiant particulièrement le cas de l’Arctic National Wildlife Refuge en Alaska. La défense de ce gigantesque refuge est devenue une source de tensions entre les environnementalistes et les partisans du marché libre. Cet article se propose de déconstruire l’origine de la position de la Droite américaine, et surtout d’en examiner les implications pour les zones protégées aux États-Unis, en utilisant les publications et les prises de position publiques des principaux think tanks conservateurs et libertariens, très actifs sur ces questions. Les partisans de l’ouverture du refuge à l’exploitation pétrolière ne cherchent pas seulement à ouvrir le refuge ; ils entendent surtout remettre en cause le bien-fondé de l’intervention de l’État fédéral en plaidant pour la suppression des régulations environnementales et la privatisation quasi-totale du domaine public. D’autre part, leur argumentaire semble s’inscrire dans le cadre et l’esprit de la société technicienne telle que l’a décrite Jacques Ellul : tout ce qui peut être exploité par le biais de la technique doit l’être. This article analyzes the attitudes of American conservatives and libertarians with regard to federal conservationist policies in the United States, taking the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) in Alaska as a case study. ANWR is a huge tract of land located in the northeastern part of Alaska. Since 1960 it has enjoyed wilderness status, that is to say, the highest degree of protection for federal lands in the United States. Its size was vastly increased when Congress passed the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act (ANILCA) in 1980. Since then, the 1002 area, which is located in the northern part of the Refuge and which contains large reserves of petroleum, has become a major bone of contention pitting environmentalists against free-marketers. The former want the Refuge to remain inviolate whilst the latter push for the immediate opening of the 1002 area to oil drilling. This article sheds light on the reasons for the positions held by the American Right, and moreover looks at its implications for federally preserved areas in the United States by examining the publications on ANWR by the main conservative and libertarian think tanks which have developed a genuine interest in this issue. Since the 1970s, various think tanks like the Heritage Foundation, have often been financed by well-heeled corporate interests and have acted as the ideological arsenal of the American Right on all topics which US elected officials can be expected to discuss. In the specific case of ANWR, as in many others, conservative and libertarian think tanks provide Republican members of Congress, and some Alaska Democrats, with economic, technical, and scientific arguments to justify opening the Refuge. Opening the Refuge is not the free-marketers’ only priority : they also intend to call into question the justification for federal interventionism by calling for an end to environmental regulations and the almost total privatization of federally-owned lands. In point of fact, the repeated attempts made by the American Right to bring about the opening of ANWR to oil drilling ought to be understood in the larger context of the conservative backlash against the regulatory apparatus spawned by Congress (Clean Air Acts, Clean Waters Acts, National Environmental Policy Act…) and the Executive Branch (Environmental Protection Agency) during the two decades prior to Ronald Reagan’s election to the presidency in 1980. Through the use of think tanks and political lobbying, some powerful corporate and ideological interests are trying, in the name of free enterprise to undermine, if not do away with, the regulations, standards, and constraints imposed by the federal government on economic activities. The sheer strength of the so-called climate denial movement in the United States bears testimony to the intentions and determination of the critics of the regulatory state. From their perspective, the notion that oil reserves be outside the purview of commercial exploitation makes no economic sense. As environmentalists have elected to turn ANWR into a litmus test for the defence of the entire US preservationist system, this controversy has become a cause célèbre that crystallizes the ideological showdown between free-marketers and environmentalists. This article does not just concern itself with the economic dimension of the controversy. In addition to the economic analysis, it probes into the meaning ascribed to technological progress by the proponents of oil drilling in ANWR. Their rhetoric appears to support the framework of the technological society as described by French philosopher Jacques Ellul : all resources that can be exploited technologically have to be exploited. The American preservationist ideal, which came into being in the second half of the 19th century, hinges on the idea that exceptions must be imposed to the domination of technology over the world. Although they do not lay out a radical critique of the technological society, the preservationists do demand that certain exceptional places be exempted from the drive for maximum efficiency that informs the technological society. They usually rest their case on aesthetic, spiritual, or cultural arguments. By discarding the preservationist rationale fundamentally and completely, the conservative proponents of the opening of ANWR have come to epitomise the technological ethos. In so doing, they are jeopardizing the American legacy of preservation as a whole.

This article tries to shed light on the ideology of early 20th-century utilitarian conservationists in the United States. It focuses on Gifford Pinchot, who was the first chief of the US Forest Service. After a comparison between Saint-Simonianism and utilitarian conservation, the article looks at Pinchot’s approach to the National Parks, by drawing on Jacques Ellul’s reflections on the ideological underpinnings of the technological society. The article ends with a discussion of the impact of Pinchot’s approach to conservation on the chances of success of his preservationist adversaries during the Hetch Hetchy controversy in the early 20th century. It suggests that the preservationist case, predicated on spiritual and aesthetic concerns, was doomed to be dismissed as impractical and sentimental in an era when the search for efficiency defined the public policy agenda to a considerable degree. Cet article vise à éclairer l’idéologie des conservationnistes utilitaires américains du début du 20ème siècle. Il se concentre sur la personne de Gifford Pinchot, qui fut le premier directeur du Forest Service. Après une comparaison entre la pensée saint-simonienne et le conservationnisme utilitaire, l’article étudie, en utilisant les réflexions que Jacques Ellul a menées sur le système technicien, la manière dont Pinchot a abordé l’idée de parc national. L’article se conclut par une analyse de l’impact que la démarche de Pinchot a eu sur les chances de succès de ses adversaires préservationnistes lors de la controverse de Hetch Hetchy au début du 20ème siècle. À une époque où la recherche de l’efficacité informait pour une large part les politiques publiques, l’argumentaire préservationniste, fondé sur des préoccupations esthétiques et spirituelles, était voué à être condamné pour son manque d’esprit pratique et son sentimentalisme.

The paper is an ecocritical analysis of the Empire of the ants, a book written in 1991 by Bernard Werber. Through this green reading, the author seeks to better understand how climate change is created from a social point of view and why, by inherence, it is so difficult to avert. As the book is largely a juxtaposition of the human society and that of ants, the author compares the two species in order to determine which one is better equipped to tackle climate change, as well as which factors, cultural, political or biological, allow for the necessary measures to be taken. The study finds that the complexity of climate change exceeds our understanding of time and space, making it impossible for us to imagine and consequently tackle in any satisfactory manner. Though ants display features superior to ours when it comes to carrying out this task, the study further concludes that there is an accompanying moral dilemma to such actions, as the environmentally profitable not always is in the best interest of individual lives.
