[pt] OS LIMITES DO DIREITO INTERNACIONAL AMBIENTAL: DESENVOLVIMENTO, NATUREZA E FUTUROS (IM)POSSÍVEIS / [en] THE LIMITS OF INTERNATIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL LAW: DEVELOPMENT, NATURE AND (IM)POSSIBLE FUTURESANA CAROLINA DE ALMEIDA CARDOSO 29 December 2020 (has links)
[pt] Considerando a insuficiência do direito internacional ambiental frente às crises da era do antropoceno, a presente pesquisa busca analisar as questões fundacionais das normas jurídicas internacionais. Para tanto, primeiramente, será observado o discurso presente nas três principais declarações gerais do direito internacional ambiental (Declaração de Estocolmo, Declaração do Rio e O Futuro que Queremos) de maneira crítica e reflexiva. Em seguida, será explorada a construção de significados que sustentam a visão de mundo legitimada por essas normas, como o ideal por desenvolvimento, a colonialidade e certa concepção sobre natureza, humanidade e a relação entre eles. Por fim, serão levantados questionamentos sobre as possibilidades de futuros alternativos que derivam dessas categorias, como o reconhecimento dos direitos da natureza, e os limites que as categorias existentes impõem a imaginários dissidentes. Com isso, observa-se que a forma com que o direito internacional ambiental é construído pressupõe a não problematização da exclusão constitutiva de outros do sistema internacional moderno. Portanto, é necessário questionar essas próprias categorias fundacionais, não só do direito internacional (geral e ambiental), como do sistema internacional e estatal como um todo, como um convite para uma especulação construtiva sobre quais futuros somos capazes de imaginar e construir. / [en] Considering the shortcoming of international environmental law in dealing with the crises of the era of the Anthropocene, this research seeks to analyze some foundational categories of international legal norms. With this in mind, firstly, the discourse of the three main general declarations of international environmental law (Stockholm Declaration, Rio92 and Rio +20) will be observed in a critical and reflective way, with the help of an enunciative discourse analysis. Then, some accounts will be traced about the construction of meanings that support the ontology legitimized by these norms, such as the ideal for development, coloniality and a certain conception about nature, humanity and the relationship between them. Finally, considering the roles of imaginaries and constructions of futures, questions will be raised about the possibilities of alternative futures that derive from these concepts, such as the recognition of the rights of nature and the limits that the existing categories impose on dissident imaginaries. Hence, it can be observed that the way in which international environmental law is constructed presupposes that the constitutive exclusion of others from the modern international system is not problematized. Therefore, it is crucial to question these very foundational categories, not only of international law (general and environmental), but of the international and state systems as a whole, as an invitation to face the end of the world through constructive speculation about which futures we are able to imagine and build.

"Allt liv är möte" : En posthumanistisk läsning av Martin Bubers Jag och Du / "All real life is meeting" : A Posthumanistic reading of Martin Buber's I and ThouKlawitter, Marie January 2023 (has links)
This work examines a relational ontology with the focus on our relationships with the more-than-human world. The aim is to investigate a subject that is more suitable to face the challenges of our times. Inspired by the posthumanistic project as presented by Rosi Braidotti I propose a non-anthropocentric reading of Martin Buber’s I and Thou. In the first section of the essay I present an overview of Buber’s understanding of the subject and I also answer the question whether we can consider the I-Thou relationship to include the non-human world. In part two I investigate the characteristics of such a relationship, covering as well the act of dialogue. This opens up for a new understanding of the subject as constituted by relationships including non-human others. As an example of how to protect living I-Thou relationships with non-human others through the I-It logic of law I present the case study of the river Wanganui in New Zealand and its newly acquired status as a subject by law. Finally I conclude by discussing a possible ethic where relational capacities are key.

Grönt socialt arbete i praktiken : En scoping review om praktiskt grönt socialt arbete, resiliens och antropocentrism / Green social work in practice : A scoping review on the practice of green social work, resilience and anthropocentrismFrisk, Natalie January 2023 (has links)
Grönt socialt arbete innebär ett paradigmskifte för professionen som sådan och syftet i föreliggande uppsats var att ta reda på hur socialarbetaren kan arbeta rent praktiskt, inom ramen för grönt socialt arbete. Med sin kritik mot nyliberala strukturer och sätt att främja resiliens hos sårbara och marginaliserade människor sammanfattar denna scoping review 12 artiklar som behandlar grönt socialt arbete. Att socialarbetaren arbetar med djur och växter innebär ett postantropocentriskt glokalt socialt arbete där miljöförändringar i en del av världen även påverkar en annan del av världen. Grönt socialt arbete ifrågasätter nyliberalismen, ser holistiskt på människans livsförutsättningar och motverkar miljömässig ojämlikhet. / Green social work means a paradigm shift for the profession and the aim in the present study is to highlight how the social worker can work in a practical way, within the framework of green social work. With its critique of neoliberal structures and ways of promoting resilience in vulnerable and marginalized people, this scoping review summarizes 12 articles dealing with green social work. That the social worker works with animals and plants means a post-anthropocentric glocal social work where environmental changes in one part of the world also affect another part of the world. Green social work question neoliberalism, take a holistic view of human life conditions and counteract environmental inequality.

Social development versus saving nature? : a case study in environmental ethicsMagosha, Tendani Amos 12 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MPhil)--University of Stellenbosch, 2003. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This research project has been purposed at shedding light and bringing
clarity and practical resolution to the ethical dilemma brought about by
seemingly incompatible principles and value positions associated with the
two contentious issues: social development and nature conservation. In
view of exposing the contentions between the two above-mentioned value
positions, this project has pitted anthropocentrism against
biocen trism / ecocen trism.
However, as alluded to in this research, many people in developing
countries, South Africa included, are victims of poverty and hunger which
need redress. Unfortunately the alleviation of the same has been made
possible through ruthless exploitation and maximum expansion of natural
resources and in the process, the environment suffered much. However,
with social development, the natural environment is often sacrificed and
conversely with the protection and preservation of nature, man is then
condemned to destitution.
With the introduction and the case expose forming the introduction of this
research project in Chapter 1, Chapter 2 is devoted to the research
methodology used throughout this project. Also, given the problem
statement, endeavours to search for answers to the central questions are
outlined. An analysis of the case study is also made in this chapter.
Chapter 3 deals with the weighing of the classical dilemmas namely:
anthropocentrism versus biocentrism / ecocentrism and this further entails
the notion of justice versus conservation pertaining the case in point. These classical dilemmas are put into critical perspective in Chapter 4
wherein monistic value approaches are exposed in terms of their failures.
Precisely, the either-or choices following from pure theoretical principles are
put into question with reference to the case under discussion. An
alternative, namely the pragmatic approach, which maintains a multiplicity
of values, is hereby brought into play.
Chapter 5 entails a critical appraisal of the decision to be taken by the
Makhado Municipality Council with regard to the development of the
shopping complex or the protection of the indigenous tree sanctuary. In
conclusion, recommendations and suggestions are stated within the
context of the case in point. However, it is imperative to note that these
recommendations and suggestions should be read in conjunction with one
another, and not in isolation from one another. Furthermore, the same
should not in anyway be indiscriminately used as a universal standard in
any similar or related case.
Further research on this ethical debate is encouraged. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die doel van hierdie navorsingsprojek is om helderheid en 'n praktiese
oplossing te kry met betrekking tot die etiese dilemma wat voortspruit
uit die oeriskynlik onversoenbare beginsels en waardeposisies wat
geassosieer word met twee omstrede kwessies, naamlik sosiale
ontwikkeling en natuurbewaring. Met die oog daarop om die
kwelpunte rondom bogenoemde twee waardeposisies aan die lig te
bring, stel hierdie projek antroposentrisme teenoor
biosentrisme / ekosentrisme.
Baie mense in ontwikkelende lande, insluitend Suid-Afrika, IS
slagoffers van armoede en hongersnood, soos aangedui word in die
loop van hierdie navorsing. Hierdie situasie noodsaak regs telling.
Pogings om verligting te bring in hierdie verband, lei egter tot die
genadelose eksploitasie en maksimum ontwikkeling van natuurlike
hulpbronne. In hierdie proses word die omgewing ernstig beskadig.
Die ongelukkige toedrag van sake is dus dat sosiale ontwikkeling
dikwels geskied ten koste van die omgewing, terwyl die beskerming en
bewaring van die omgewing op sy beurt dikwels die mens behoeftig
laat.
Hoofstuk 1 van hierdie navorsingsprojek bevat 'n inleiding en
beskrywing van die geval onder bespreking, terwyl Hoofstuk 2 gewy
word aan die navorsingsmetodologie wat in hierdie projek gebruik
word. Dit bevat ook 'n skets van die pogings om antwoorde te soek op
die sentrale vrae van die probleemstelling, en 'n analise van die
gevallestudie. In Hoofstuk 3 word die klassieke dilemmas wat verband hou met die
betrokke probleem opgeweeg, naamlik antroposentrisme teenoor
biosentrismej ekosentrisme, en die idee van geregtigheid teenoor die
idee van bewaring.
Bogenoemde klassieke dilemmas word in 'n kritiese lig beskou in
Hoofstuk 4 deurdat die tekortkominge van monistiese
waardebenaderings uitgewys word. Die 6f-6f keuses wat volg uit
suiwer teoretiese beginsels word bevraagteken met verwysing na die
geval onder bespreking. 'n Pleidooi word uiteindelik gelewer vir 'n
alternatiewe pragmatiese benadering wat eerder 'n veelheid van
waardes betrek.
Hoofstuk 5 bevat 'n kritiese beoordeling van die keuse wat die
Makhado Munisipaliteitsraad moet maak tussen die ontwikkeling van
'n winkelkompleks of die beskerming van 'n inheemse boomreservaat.
Ter afsluiting word aanbevelings en voorstelle gemaak in verband met
die kwessie onder bespreking. Dit is egter belangrik om daarop te let
dat hierdie aanbevelings en voorstelle nie apart van mekaar beskou
moet word nie, maar eerder saam gelees moet word. Dit is verder ook
belangrik dat die aanbevelings en voorstelle wat met betrekking tot
hierdie geval gemaak word nie sonder meer gebruik moet word as 'n
universele standaard vir soortgelyke of verwante gevalle nie.
Verdere navorsing oor hierdie etiese debat word aangemoedig.

Frazémy v norštině a v češtině - srovnání z hlediska kognitivní lingvistiky / Phrasems in Norwegian and Czech - A Comparison from the Cognitive Linguistics PerspectivePayneová, Marie January 2012 (has links)
In this thesis we deal with the analysis of expressions - in particular the metaphorical and phraseological expressions - containing a motive of an animal in Czech and Norwegian. The method is based on cognitive linguistics, mainly on the Polish ethnolinguistic school, with a special focus on the definition of metaphor and symbol from the point of view of the philosophical hermeneutics. We describe and support some common principles of the perception and conceptualization of animals in both languages and we focus on semantic connections concerning this topic. Our main focus is on the expression wolf - we compare the linguistic picture of the world of this controversial animal in Czech and Norwegian.

Pes v českém jazykovém obrazu světa / The Dog in Linguistic Picture of the World in CzechProkšová, Hana January 2011 (has links)
I. Abstract This paper is based on the theoretical principes of the Polish ethnolinguistic works introduced in the first part of this paper. We pay special attention to the theory of anthropocentrism of a natural language. The main focus of this theory is the differentiation between "one's own" and "human" on one side and "someone else's" and "non-human"on the other in a cognitive comprehension of the world. We further apply the anthropocentric approach to outline the conceptualization of domestic animals in the Czech language. The second part of the text deals with the expression pes (‚dog') in Czech and its derivatives, their position within the lexical system, their semantics, connotations and the stereotypes associated with them. The conclusion presents a cognitive definition of the concept pes (‚dog') in Czech. The definition builds upon the entry structure of the Polish Dictionary of Folk Stereotypes and Symbols.

Different natures: an ecocritical analysis of selected films by Terrence Malick, Werner Herzog and Sean PennVan Wyk, Karl 31 July 2012 (has links)
M.A. University of the Witwatersrand, Faculty of Humanities, 2012. / Humanity’s relationship with nature has, in recent years, undoubtedly been one of contention
and turmoil, an issue whose drama is gaining popularity in popular culture and,
especially, film. In this dissertation I examine how these challenging human-nature relationships
play out in Terrence Malick’s The New World, Werner Herzog’s Grizzly Man
and Encounters at the End of the World, Sean Penn’s Into the Wild, and the Jon Krakauer
book, of the same title, upon which Penn’s film is based. As one’s views on
nature (like all else) are mediated through language, using ecocritical principles slanted
towards filmic, as opposed to written, texts, I provide a close examination of the ways in
which these artists portray the relationship between language and nature, and the impact
this has on our cultural and individual identities. I will also show how these primary
texts make use of centuries-old Romantic aesthetics in order to humanise nature for
moral ends. The primary texts agree that a large part of the problem in the poor relationship
between humanity and nature is due to inadequate metaphors with which humanity
views the earth. Thus, each artist promotes a certain kind of anthropomorphic understanding
of nature which he believes is pivotal in encouraging better interconnections
between humanity and nature. As a result, I provide a critique of the kinds of metaphors
used by each respective artist, where some metaphors of nature may support or contradict
a certain artist’s aims in his portrayal of human-nature relationships.

Karlstad tätorts dagvattenhantering : En studie om hanteringen av dagvatten ur ett hållbarhetsperspektiv / Karlstad city stormwater management : A study of stormwater management from a sustainability perspectiveSvensson, Elin, Adolfsson, Miriram January 2019 (has links)
Dagvattenhanteringen är ett aktuellt ämne i dagens stadsplanering. Forskning som denna studie utgår ifrån visar hur dagens traditionella system inte klarar av kommande klimatförändringar med mer och intensivare nederbörd. Dagvatten för med sig föroreningar samt miljögifter som kväve och fosfor, men även tungmetaller som klorid, olja, organiska miljögifter och bakterier. Det traditionella systemet leder dagvatten ofta rakt ut i våra vattendrag via recipienterna då endast 8 procent av Sveriges dagvatten blev renat år 2016. För en djupare förståelse kring detta utgår studien ifrån teorier inom hållbar utveckling, antropocentrism, ekocentrism samt det rumsliga perspektivet. Materialet består av litteratur, artiklar, tidigare forskning samt fyra intervjuer. Informanterna består av en konsult, en som arbetar på en branschorganisation och två från Karlstad kommun för att få förståelse kring dagvattenhantering, hur en hållbar dagvattenhantering definieras och hur Karlstads kommuns vision för dagvattenhanteringen ser ut. I resultatet för denna uppsats har det framkommit att informanternas syn på dagvatten stämmer överens med Naturvårdsverkets riktlinje av hållbar dagvattenhantering. Karlstad kommuns visioner kring dagvatten lever även upp till denna definition. Utifrån materialet kan uppsatsen visa på att informanterna har en bred kunskap kring framtidens klimatpåverkan på dagvatten samt dess åtgärder. Teorierna har kopplats med resultatet där det går att förstå hur det rumsliga perspektivet påverkas beroende på hur dagvatten hanteras och att en intergenerationell antropocentrism samt svag ekocentrism kan utläsas från intervjuerna. / The stormwater management is topical in today’s urban planning. The research that this study is based of shows how today's traditional system can not cope with future climate change with more intense precipitation. Stormwater also spreads pollution and environmental toxins such as nitrogen and phosphorus, but also heavy metals as chloride, oil, organic pollutants and bacteria. The traditional system often leads the stormwater straight into our waters via the recipients. Only 8 percent of Sweden's stormwater was purified in 2016. For a deeper understanding about this, the study is based on theories in sustainable development, anthropocentrism, ecocentrism and the spatial perspective. The study is based on the theories above, previous research as well as four interviews with a consultant, one who works on a industry sector organisation and two people who works on Karlstad kommun. The people are chosen for a deeper understanding about stormwater, how a sustainable stormwater management is defined and how Karlstad kommuns visions for stormwater management are. The result of this thesis has revealed that the informants view of stormwater is in line with the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency's guideline on sustainable stormwater management. The visions of stormwater in Karlstad kommun also live up to this definition. Based on the empirical data, the essay can show that the informants have a broad knowledge of future climate impact on the subject and its measures. The theories are linked with the result, where it is possible to see how the spatial perspectives are affected depending on how stormwater is managed and that an intergenerational anthropocentrism and weak ecocentrism perspective can be read from the interviews.

Previous issue date: 2011-10-24 / This proposal aims to reflect on the recent discussion presented by academic and scientific community about the use of animals in scientific experimentation and propose improvement of Brazilian legislation on animal welfare. It is necessary a brief historical background on the origin and evolution of the concept of anthropocentrism to current biocentrism, closely related to the discussion of Nature and animal rights. The discussion dealt with some thoughts about the justification for the use of animals in scientific experiments and the need for an effective and efficient Board of Ethics, able to manage animal experiments or avoid their repetition and multiplication without substantial reason or scientific basis that may benefit man rather than the conservation of nature. In this context, Nature, especially animals, deserve a proper reflection and a philosophical inquiry: are animals subjects of rights or do they deserve to be respected only under a humanist view in favor to the human use and benefit? / A presente proposta tem por objetivo refletir sobre a recente discussão apresentada pela comunidade acadêmica e científica acerca do uso de animais na experimentação científica, bem como propor o aperfeiçoamento da legislação brasileira sobre o bem-estar animal. Faz-se necessário um breve contexto histórico sobre a origem e a evolução do conceito de antropocentrismo para a corrente do biocentrismo, intimamente relacionada com a discussão sobre a natureza e os direitos dos animais. A discussão abordada faz uma reflexão sobre a justificativa para a utilização de animais em experimentos científicos e a necessidade de um Conselho de Ética efetivo e eficaz, capaz de gerenciar experimentações em animais ou impedir a sua repetição e multiplicação, sem razões substanciais ou embasamento científico que beneficie o homem em detrimento da conservação da natureza. Nesse quadro, a natureza, em especial os animais, merecem uma reflexão adequada e um questionamento filosófico: os animais são sujeitos de direitos ou merecem ser respeitados apenas por uma visão humanista em prol do uso e do benefício humano?
