Abstract

GARRE, Bárbara Hees  and  HENNING, Paula Corrêa. THE ENVIRONMENTAL CRISIS DISCOURSE IN PRINTED MEDIA. Educ. Rev. [online]. 2017, vol.33, e138587.  Epub Mar 24, 2017. ISSN 1982-6621.  https://doi.org/10.1590/0102-4698138587.

This article addresses the current environmental crisis discourse. Based on some of Foucault’s discourse analysis tools, one of the statements that compose the discussed discourse is the “Terror and fear of the loss of the planet.” The study takes Veja magazine as its discursive corpus, especially articles produced since 2001, where enunciations occupied by terror and fear become evident in the media under analysis. Discussions about fear in Zigmunt Bauman; biopower / biopolitics in Foucault and culture based on environmental education scholars are used as theoretical contributions in this study. In the chosen articles, there is a strong call to the risks and dangers to continuity of life on Earth, connected to an invitation to joining a great global campaign. One of the challenges of this research is to reflect about possibilities of confronting our modern liquid fears and to produce other ways of relating with the environment.
