“Deixar a cidade é um ato político”: a ecosofia e o retorno ao natural como desdobramentos da pós-modernidade

Abstract

The research work seeks to analyze the interactive representations of postmodern man with nature - and its election as an alternative stage for vital achievements. It is intended, above all, to understand the social frameworks related to the idealization of the return to the natural by the Burnout Society (Han, 2015), culminating with the reinvention of life in the urban space, in order to thus result in possible consequences of the postmodernity. In this sense, it seeks to demonstrate how the process of hyperdevelopment of technologies, the competitiveness and general precariousness of various social structures, tend to lead more and more people to seek in the ecosophical sensibility the elements to satisfy what life in big centers cost so much - or can't give them anymore. We point how the symbolic cultural construction of large centers influences the perpetuation of inequalities, leading to the dimension of excesses via consumption and turning life into products. At the same time, we investigate the relationship between the exhaustion of the consumer society and nature as a way to escape from the tiredness and oppression that plague postmodern existence, through concepts such as social ecology, green market, green washing and others. We point how large corporations are appropriating the salvationist discourse and then imputing it to the consumer in their choices, making them responsible for the task of reversing the crisis situation. Then emerge the consequences of the symbolic cultural construction of the big cities in the perpetuation of inequalities, leading to the dimension of excesses via consumption and the life as a product. Such elements also pass through the study of urban movements, evoking the acceptance of things as they are on a deeper plane, fundamentally with repercussions on social and environmental issues.

O presente trabalho de investigação analisa as representações interativas do homem pós-moderno com a natureza. Pretende-se, sobretudo, perceber os enquadramentos sociais relacionados à idealização do retorno ao natural pela Sociedade do Cansaço (Han, 2015), culminando com a reinvenção das maneiras de ser dos sujeitos no espaço urbano, de sorte a assim resultar em possíveis desdobramentos da pós-modernidade. Neste sentido, procura-se entender como o processo de hiperdesenvolvimento das tecnologias, a competitividade e precarização geral de diversas estruturas sociais passam, com certa tendência, a levar cada vez mais pessoas a buscarem na sensibilidade ecosófica os elementos para satisfação daquilo que a vida nos grandes centros tanto lhes custa - ou não mais pode lhes dar. Na mesma medida, intenta se investigar a relação entre a exaustão da sociedade de consumo e a natureza como forma de escapar do cansaço e opressão que assolam a vida pós-moderna através de conceitos como ecologia social, mercado verde, green washing e outros. Indicamos como as grandes corporações se apropriam do discurso salvacionista imputado ao consumidor em suas escolhas, responsabilizando-os pela tarefa de reverter o quadro de crise. Emergem então os desdobramentos da construção cultural simbólica das grandes cidades na perpetuação de desigualdades, desembocando na dimensão dos excessos via consumo e produtilização da vida. Tais elementos passam também pelo estudo dos movimentos urbanos, evocando a aceitação das coisas como são em um plano mais profundo, fundamentalmente com repercussão na temática social e ambiental.
