Resumo: This article aims to analyze the relationship between practices of the self and pro-environmental behavior in the daily life of ecovillages. We rely on Foucault's notion of practices of the self to understand the changes in the behavior of the inhabitants of ecovillages regarding the environment. We made participant observations in two ecovillages in Switzerland and one in Brazil. The analyses show that the presence or absence of practices of the self in each ecovillage led to different pro-environmental subjectivation: passive-structural, active-individual, and active-structural. From these different positions, each community achieved different degrees of preservation of the environment. The results provide evidence that practices of the self are relevant factors for the inhabitants of ecovillages to develop pro-environmental behaviors.

Nos basamos en la noción de prácticas de sí de Foucault para comprender los cambios en el comportamiento de los habitantes de las ecoaldeas con respecto al medio ambiente. Hicimos observaciones de los participantes en dos ecoaldeas de Suiza y una de Brasil. Los análisis muestran que la presencia o ausencia de prácticas de sí en cada ecoaldea dio lugar a una subjetivación proambiental diferente: pasivo-estructural, activo-individual y activo-estructural. Desde estas diferentes posiciones, cada comunidad logró diferentes grados de preservación del medio ambiente. Los resultados proporcionan evidencia de que las prácticas de sí son factores relevantes para que los habitantes de las ecoaldeas desarrollen comportamientos proambientales.Este artigo tem como objetivo analisar a relação entre as práticas de si e o comportamento pró-ambiental no cotidiano de ecovilas. Nos apoiamos na noção de Foucault de práticas de si para compreender as mudanças no comportamento dos habitantes das ecovilas em relação ao meio ambiente. Fizemos observações participantes em duas ecovilas na Suíça e uma no Brasil. As análises mostram que a presença ou ausência de práticas de si em cada ecovila levou a diferentes subjetivações pró-ambientais: passivo-estrutural, ativo-individual e ativo-estrutural. A partir dessas diferentes posições, cada comunidade alcançou diferentes graus de preservação do meio ambiente. Os resultados fornecem evidências de que as práticas de si são fatores relevantes para que os habitantes das ecovilas desenvolvam comportamentos pró-ambientais.Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte2023-01-13info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdftext/xmlhttps://submission-pepsic.scielo.br/index.php/epsic/article/view/2317210.22491/1678-4669.20220011Estudos de Psicologia (Natal); Vol. 27 No. 1 (2022); 115-126Estudos de Psicologia (Natal); Vol. 27 Núm. 1 (2022); 115-126Estudos de Psicologia (Natal); v. 27 n. 1 (2022); 115-1261678-46691413-294Xreponame:Estudos de Psicologia (Natal)instname:Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte (UFRN)instacron:UFRNenghttps://submission-pepsic.scielo.br/index.php/epsic/article/view/23172/1071https://submission-pepsic.scielo.br/index.php/epsic/article/view/23172/1073Copyright (c) 2023 Estudos de Psicologia (Natal)https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessDuarte, Luiz Guilherme Mafle FerreiraFerreira Neto, João Leite2023-05-26T16:52:29Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/23172Revistahttps://submission-pepsic.scielo.br/index.php/epsicPUBhttps://submission-pepsic.scielo.br/index.php/epsic/oai||revpsi@cchla.ufrn.br1678-46691413-294Xopendoar:2023-05-26T16:52:29Estudos de Psicologia (Natal) - Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte (UFRN)false
