Resumo: | The recent perception of environmental impact of modern consumption patterns and the centrality of this discourse inside the mainstream of Western environmentalism is explained by two discursive "shifts". We will analyse the promises and pitfalls of green consumption proposals and the constraints and possibilities of changing current consumption patterns through the sustainable consumption politics strategies. The present work aims to discuss the following question: which possibilities to enlarge or to inhibit the participation on public domain does emerge with the shift of environmental politics towards the consumption field. Instead of restating the consumer alienation, manipulation and heteronomy, or supporting at once their power and freedom of choice, we chose to stress the dialog of contemporary social theory which accepts the possibility of new ways of political action by the articulation of public and private domains. Thus, the environment and consumption debate can be done not only in a public but also private arena, comprehending topics from both domains. Through this debate, the environmental issue can be placed where private concerns and public issues get together. |

O presente trabalho analisa as promessas e armadilhas da estratégia de consumo verde e os limites e as possibilidades de mudar os atuais padrões de consumo através da estratégia política do consumo sustentável. O trabalho tem por objetivo discutir a seguinte questão: que possibilidades de fortalecer ou inibir a participação na esfera pública emergem com o deslocamento das políticas ambientais para a esfera do consumo? Ao contrário de reafirmar a alienação, a manipulação e a heteronomia dos consumidores ou, apressadamente, enfatizar seu poder e sua liberdade de escolha, optamos por enfatizar uma vertente do diálogo da teoria social contemporânea que concebe a possibilidade de novas formas de ação política a partir da articulação das esferas pública e privada. Uma vez que as atividades de consumo operam na interseção entre vida pública e privada, o debate sobre meio ambiente e consumo pode envolver questões de ambas as esferas, recuperando as pontes entre elas.Escola Brasileira de Administração Pública e de Empresas da Fundação Getulio Vargas2005-01-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.fgv.br/cadernosebape/article/view/4930Cadernos EBAPE.BR; Vol. 3 No. 3 (2005); 1 a 12Cadernos EBAPE.BR; Vol. 3 Núm. 3 (2005); 1 a 12Cadernos EBAPE.BR; v. 3 n. 3 (2005); 1 a 121679-3951reponame:Cadernos EBAPE.BRinstname:Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV)instacron:FGVporhttps://periodicos.fgv.br/cadernosebape/article/view/4930/3664Portilho, Fátimainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2016-10-10T17:07:30Zoai:ojs.periodicos.fgv.br:article/4930Revistahttps://periodicos.fgv.br/cadernosebapehttps://periodicos.fgv.br/cadernosebape/oaicadernosebape@fgv.br||cadernosebape@fgv.br1679-39511679-3951opendoar:2024-05-13T09:59:19.593849Cadernos EBAPE.BR - Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV)true |

The recent perception of environmental impact of modern consumption patterns and the centrality of this discourse inside the mainstream of Western environmentalism is explained by two discursive "shifts". We will analyse the promises and pitfalls of green consumption proposals and the constraints and possibilities of changing current consumption patterns through the sustainable consumption politics strategies. The present work aims to discuss the following question: which possibilities to enlarge or to inhibit the participation on public domain does emerge with the shift of environmental politics towards the consumption field. Instead of restating the consumer alienation, manipulation and heteronomy, or supporting at once their power and freedom of choice, we chose to stress the dialog of contemporary social theory which accepts the possibility of new ways of political action by the articulation of public and private domains. Thus, the environment and consumption debate can be done not only in a public but also private arena, comprehending topics from both domains. Through this debate, the environmental issue can be placed where private concerns and public issues get together. |
