DALMORO, Isabel Cristina  and  SANTOS, Suelen Assunção. A Discursive Network of Environmental Education and the Foucaultian Provocations about the Ubuesque Power. Ciência educ. [online]. 2021, vol.27, e21007.  Epub Mar 22, 2021. ISSN 1980-850X.  https://doi.org/10.1590/1516-731320210007.

The present paper is part of a written report on a study which aims to examine how the concept of Ubuesque power, mentioned by Michel Foucault in his work Abnormal, may be used to cast fresh glances over Environmental Education. Ubuesque power integrates a discourse that contains - at the same time - three properties: the power of life and death, the power of truth, and the power of making someone laugh. In this paper we present how that concept may produce effects on the discursive network of Environmental Education, based on cartography. Thus, we describe some elements that allow for the consideration of the existence of one discursive network for Environmental Education. In addition, we comment on the three properties of that discourse that allow for thinking about Ubuesque power as an element that runs through the discursive network of Environmental Education.

Keywords : Environmental education; Ubuesque power; Michel Foucault.
