Quando a Educação Ambiental enuncia a Ecologia Política: o que dizem os anais do Encontro Pesquisa em Educação Ambiental?

Abstract

This paper aims to understand how Environmental Education has been considered in Brazil in its relationship with the field of Political Ecology. With this aim, we made a survey of articles that refer, in the title, abstract and/or keywords, to the term Political Ecology in the annals of the Environmental Education Research Meeting - EPEA, in its ten editions. The results seem to show an increase, although sublte, in the number of works that address Environmental Education in dialogue with the field of Political Ecology, with the themes of Environmental Conflict, Territory and Popular Participation being the ones, in the articles, that support the relationship of interest in this study. The incipience of works that relate both fields may be linked to a fragility of the plural field of Environmental Education with concerns central to Political Ecology.
