GARRE, Bárbara Hees  and  HENNING, Paula Corrêa. Ways of updating Planet Earth's catastrophic statement in Veja magazine. ETD [online]. 2014, vol.16, n.3, pp.426-439. ISSN 1676-2592.  https://doi.org/10.0000/016v03n5p426.

This article aims to discuss the way the print Brazilian media, specifically Veja magazine, has been talking about today's environmental issues. Commonly media lists catastrophically terrorist and the eminence of an ecological catastrophe and that, very probably, the end of life on Planet approaches. The theoretical contributions we make in this study are those aligned with Foucault studies. As empirical corpus we selected some utterances of Veja magazine, an important cultural artifact, subjective subject that constitutes their lives and, especially, produces ways of being and behaving opposite to environmental issues.The analyses provoke the reader to look at the environmental crisis and catastrophism itself as one of the conditions of possibility for the emergence of environmental education in Brazil. From this discussion we seek, through the empirical material and methodological field of this study, to give visibility to what we understand as the update of the catastrophic statement of Planet Earth.

Keywords : Environmental Education; Media; Catastrophism; Michel Foucault..
