An Analysis of the Discursive Production of Environmental Education: terrorism, archaism and transcendentalism
Year: 1996
Type: article
Abstract: In this paper the author analyses the emergence of environmental education discourse from a Foucauldian perspective. The aim is to make evident the discursive play where environmental education became a possible practice. Then, the author tries to draw a discursive landscape through which environmental education appears as a knowledge and analyses the correlations between the knowledge techniques and power strategies invested in this discourse. At the end, the author points out the subjectivation ways produced by these knowledge‐power relations and stresses some of the political and ethical problems involved in environmental education discourse.
