O direito ambiental além de natureza e cultura: aportes da virada antropológica para o saber jurídico-ambiental

Abstract

The S.J.D. dissertation aims to explore and analyze some boundaries and implications of recent changes in the field of Anthropology for legal -environmental thinking,especially in its epistemological dimension, and in the context of the specific debate on the opposition of nature x culture. Furthermore, to propose an approximation between these areas of knowledge through the notions of transdisciplinarity and environmental field. The study mainly uses the dialectical method, in the usual definitions of the qualitative-exploratory type, based on literature review. It presupposes theepistemological character of the environmental crisis, starting from the investigation of the central concepts around the opposition between the categories of nature and culture in Western, in order to analyze the recent transformations operated in the anthropological field and relate them to environmental legal thought, through the analysis of some of its structuring elements in the Brazilian legal system. In this task,an argumentative framework is outlined, which points to the possibility of operationalizing the ontological transformations that had space in Anthropology in Environmental Law, contributing to the improvement of the epistemological bases of this legal field.
