Resumo: The great dissemination of scientific research on environment among the ordinary audience and policy makers led to the vulgarization of the concept of social conflict, which lost explanatory power as a scientific category. Due to the historical characteristics of the scientific and political debate in the area of environment, there are nowadays a great variety of approaches and lines of research that deal with conflict. The present article proposes a brief incursion into the state of the art of studies on social conflict related to the use of natural resources. It seeks to understand, from the point of view of two theories of conflict, namely: conflict transformation and conflict resolution, the patterns and cleavages that characterize recent approaches on social change related to the environment. The article is divided into two parts that expose the theoretical presuppositions of these analytical and conceptual frameworks and their contestation in recent research. The first part of the article consists of a systematization of the two aforementioned theoretical models, and the second part involves an inquiry into the Brazilian scenario of research on this area and its possible developments. In conclusion, some final considerations are traced with reference to the initial proposal of the article. Keywords: Environmental Sociology; social conflicts; use of natural resources; scientific production.

Por estas características históricas do debate científico e político na área ambiental, há uma ampla gama de abordagens e linhas de pesquisa que tratam de conflitos na atualidade. Este artigo promove uma breve incursão pelo estado-da-arte nos estudos sobre conflitos sociais relativos ao uso dos recursos naturais, buscando compreender, a partir das abordagens da teoria dos conflitos, conflict transformation e conflict resolution, os padrões e as clivagens que caracterizam as opções recentes por modelos de análise dos processos de mudança social, que envolvem a dimensão ambiental. O artigo divide-se em dois itens em que são expostos os pressupostos da clivagem conceitual e analítica, e seus rebatimentos nas pesquisas em curso; sendo, no primeiro, elaborada uma sistematização inicial dos dois modelos teóricos selecionados e, no segundo, uma incursão sobre o cenário das pesquisas no Brasil e seus possíveis desdobramentos. À guisa de conclusão, foram traçadas algumas considerações finais, tendo em vista o caráter inicial desta proposta.Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)2005-01-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/politica/article/view/196810.5007/%xPolítica & Sociedade; Vol. 4 No. 7 (2005); 105-118Política & Sociedade; Vol. 4 Núm. 7 (2005); 105-118Política & Sociedade; v. 4 n. 7 (2005); 105-1182175-79841677-4140reponame:Política & Sociedade (Online)instname:Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)instacron:UFSCporhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/politica/article/view/1968/1718Copyright (c) 2005 Política & Sociedadeinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessFerreira, Lúcia da Costa2022-11-21T14:13:34Zoai:periodicos.ufsc.br:article/1968Revistahttp://www.periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/politicaPUBhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/politica/oai||ernesto.seidl@ufsc.br|| ps@cfh.ufsc.br2175-79841677-4140opendoar:2022-11-21T14:13:34Política & Sociedade (Online) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)false
