More-than-Human Lifeworlds: Ethics, Ontology and Relationality in Local Environmental Struggles

Local environmental conflicts are often framed as “resource conflicts” in the political ecology literature. Based on ethnographic research on local community struggles against run-of-river hydroelectric power plants in Turkey’s East Black Sea Region, this article aims to demonstrate the limitation of the “resource” frame in explaining the grievances of environmentally dispossessed communities and their motivations to fight against it. The article discusses how and why rivers are more than “natural resources” for the rural communities of the region, maintaining non-human entities as integral not only to the umwelt (environment, surroundings), but also to the lebenswelt (lifeworld). It develops a bodycentred, phenomenological perspective demonstrating how non-human entities become an essential part of our experiential and social world through habitual and corporeal encounter and interaction. It maintains the centrality of the more-than-human lifeworld in the constitution of relational ontologies and ethics of coexistence, and in the formation of political agency.

On Ethics of Coexistence between Man and Nature

Man belongs to nature, and man cannot exist alone without nature. Thus, man and nature coexist. However, human development depends on the development of natural resources. Since modern times, with the rapid development of industry and science and technology, the blind utilization of natural resources has damaged the natural environment to a certain extent, resulting in the threat to human normal survival. Especially in recent decades, environmental problems have become more and more serious. Disasters, diseases and other problems have deepened human’s sense of crisis. Therefore, the coexistence of man and nature, environmental problems and environmental governance are urgent problems to be solved to realize the coexistence of man and nature. However, to solve the problems of natural environment and realize the coexistence of man and nature, a very important point is to establish a correct ethical consciousness and clarify the ethical responsibility. Only in this way can we effectively protect the natural environment and promote the continuous development of ecological civilization.

RELIGIÃO E CIÊNCIA: O QUE AS INTERAÇÕES DISCURSIVAS NOS MOSTRAM SOBRE OS DESAFIOS DE UM ENSINO DE BIOLOGIA DIALÓGICO

O presente trabalho analisa episódios de ensino em que o conhecimento religioso e o conhecimento científico aparecem como explicações alternativas para o mesmo tópico, buscando identificar que tipo de relação entre ciência e religião o discurso docente pode promover. São analisadas interações discursivas produzidas ao longo de uma sequência didática sobre Teoria Darwinista de Evolução. A análise das interações discursivas é feita através de uma estrutura analítica que integra a ferramenta analítica de Eduardo Mortimer e Phil Scott com as ideias de Jay Lemke a respeito dos tipos de atividades e estratégias de controle do discurso em sala de aula. A relação entre a ciência e religião é interpretada, tendo em vista as diferentes posições epistemológicas, políticas e éticas que permeiam o debate sobre diversidade cultural no contexto escolar. Entre os cinco episódios analisados, houve o predomínio de uma abordagem comunicativa de autoridade, com a professora utilizando-se de estratégias de silenciamento do discurso discente ou valendo-se do que tinham a dizer apenas do ponto de vista da ciência. Também não foram observadas tentativas de demarcar as fronteiras entre os diferentes conhecimentos, nem mesmo explorar os argumentos de cada um deles, destacando, por exemplo, os diferentes critérios de validação e aplicação social dos saberes. Não favorecendo, portanto, o desenvolvimento de uma prática docente intercultural, pluralista, promotora de um contexto de conflito, de uma ética da coexistência e de uma autonomia moral, conforme referenciais utilizados. Estes resultados indicaram que esses aspectos definidores, em nossa perspectiva de um ensino multicultural, se configuram como um grande desafio para docentes de ciências, e que considerar as interações discursivas no planejamento pedagógico parece ser fundamental neste sentido.

Event and Writing: Michael Ondaatje's Ethics of Peaceful Co-existence in Divisadero

In Divisadero Michael Ondaatje presents his ethics of co-existence through his characters' search for inner peace. Along with focusing on the characters' attempts to understand their intentionally or unintentionally suppressed pasts, he draws his readers' attention to the injustices done to socially marginalized people as well as to the neglected natural world. By presenting how a deeper understanding of a past depends upon the production of more resonations with that past, he argues for the endlessness of that production and the need for a constant care for what is excluded from people's representations of reality. Just as the search for inner peace does not come to an end, peaceful co-existence in the world must be based on people's everlasting respect and care for the unknown and their recognition of the interdependence among men, their fellow beings, and the natural world.

Singularity and ethics in post-development thought: interpreting Serge Latouche's L'autre Afrique: entre don et marché

This article examines a work of the French post-development thinker Serge Latouche, L'autre Afrique: entre don et marche (AA) (1998), in order to illustrate the normativity of post-development thought. The discussion is divided into two parts. Firstly, the article clarifies the general framework of Latouche's post-development thought by mapping his work in the currents of French social and political thought, especially the Anti-Utilitarian Movement in Social Sciences. Secondly, the article scrutinizes the underlying themes of several normative arguments in AA. I will show that, for Latouche, singularity is a fundamental category in exploring a post-development society. In particular, the article discusses the manner in which Latouche infers normative principles from his reflections on the singularity of the excluded people in African societies. In analyzing his normative claims such as ‘the self-limitation of developed societies’ and ‘the recognition of the other Africa as an authentic partner’, I will demonstrate that the normativity of his post-development thought is grounded on the Aristotelian ethics of phronesis, Illich's ethics of conviviality and Levinas’ ethics of responsibility. The article concludes that Latouche's post-development thought paves the way for a post-Heideggerian ethics of coexistence.

Ethics of coexistence: the international theory of Terry Nardin

Normative international theory addresses the moral dimension of international society and the logic of ‘ought’ statements in international relations. The traditional content of normative international theory has been dominated by such issues as: the nature of international law and the moral basis of the rights and duties it imposes on states and individuals; the ethics of pacifism and the theory of the 6just war’ the morality of intervention; and, most fundamentally, the nature of the ethical requirements that need to be met if a system of inter-state relations can justly be characterized as an ‘international society’. While such issues have never disappeared from academic study, the dominant modes of international relations theorizing in the 1960s and 1970s—whether realist, neo-realist, pluralist or structuralist—were at one, if for different reasons? in keeping them at the bottom of the agenda paper. And yet, the 1980s has seen a revival of normative international theory. The reasons for this renewal of interest are two-fold. On the one hand, the traditional agenda of normative theory, as outlined above, has never lost its salience in the real world even if unfashionable in academia; since it is in the nature of fashions to change some sort of revival of interest in the old questions was to be expected. But of rather more importance has been the emergence of a new range of normative issues: demands from the ‘south’ for a New International Economic Order have placed the politics of redistribution on the international agenda for the first time—revisionist states in the 1980s no longer make territorial demands but appeal to status quo oriented states to make concessions on the basis of economic justice. In today's world normative statements are as likely to be about the debt crisis as they are to be about the conduct of the Gulf War or the US intervention in Grenada. Mainstream international relations theory has generally refused to ask or answer moral questions, but this strategy of avoidance has not succeeded. Questions such as ‘what ought to be our attitude to poverty in the South?’ or ‘how ought the world' financial system respond to the debt problems of Brazil or Zambia?’ cannot be wished away—as anyone who has taught international political economy will be well aware. Normative theory cannot answer questions like this but it can help each individual to provide his or her own response—and no more important task exists for the discipline of international relations.
