HENNING, Paula Corrêa. Bio/Ecopolitical Strategies in Environmental Education: the media and the global warming. Educação. UNISINOS [online]. 2019, vol.23, n.2, pp.367-382.  Epub Apr 30, 2020. ISSN 2177-6210.  https://doi.org/10.4013/edu.2019.232.11.

The article aims to analyze the bio/ecopolitical strategies in the media global warming discourse. It is presented Michel Foucault's biopolitical studies and the developments of his concepts of ecopolitics. The discursive corpus refers to articles from two newspapers, Folha de São Paulo and El País, on global warming in 2016 and 2017. The study analyzes the activation of bio/ecopolitical strategies that finds comfort in the knowledge of science and statistics. Having in mind the potential effects of media reports, these discourses and their modes of intervention and subjectivation are stressed. Along with the bio/ecopolitical normalizations that teach us how to take care of the environment, it is also possible to find resistances bringing up new views for the Environmental Education, betting on cracks in the great truths that insist on making us a herd.

Keywords : Environmental education; Biopolitics; Michel Foucault.
