Abstract

GOUGH, Noel et al. Contos de Camp Wilde: tornando Queer a pesquisa em educação ambiental. Rev. Estud. Fem. [online]. 2011, vol.19, n.01, pp.239-263. ISSN 1806-9584.

This paper questions the relative silence of queer theory and theorizing in environmental education research. We explore some possibilities for queering environmental education research by fabricating (and inviting colleagues to fabricate) stories of Camp Wilde, a fictional location that helps us to expose the facticity of the field’s heteronormative constructedness. These stories suggest alternative ways of (re)presenting and (re)producing both the subjects/objects of our inquiries and our identities as researchers. The contributors draw on a variety of theoretical resources from art history, deconstruction, ecofeminism, literary criticism, popular cultural studies, and feminist poststructuralism to perform an orientation to environmental education research that we hope will never be arrested by its categorization as a “new genre.”

Keywords : Environmental Education; Queer Pedagogies; Heteronormativity; Research.
