Full textThis work proposes to analyze sociologically the incorporation and transmutation by the Catholic Church of one of the most appealing topics of today: the ecological question. The analysis included the use of a database in which practically all the pontifical discourses available on ecology were compiled. It encompasses the first one, pronounced by Pope Paul VI in 1970, and also John Paul II and Benedict XVI and the first years of Pope Francis pontificate, who placed himself under the worldwide spotlight with his ecological encyclical Laudato Si. First, a historical reconstruction of the social contexts that shaped the emergence and development of environmental concerns was made, still without the involvement of the Catholic Church. For conducting the analysis, three ideal types of environmentalism were built: the esoteric, the rationalist and the moralist. That last one is split into the intramundane and extramundane subtypes. Different environmentalist reflections were examined using this typology. It was demonstrated how the causes identified and the solutions proposed may follow different directions according to the meaning given to the environment. Sometimes, such perspectives not only differentiate but oppose each other. Included latter in this discussion, the Catholic Church often sought to disqualify the ecological reasoning presented by other perspectives, which could result in pagan or materialistic conceptions, contrary to the Christian faith. The Catholic Church has come up with a series of new interpretations of its traditional teachings, such as the theology of creation, postulating that it is the abandonment of the religious orientation that raised the environmental crisis. In addition, there would be no way to purify the physical environment without first purifying the human environment, because both have been polluted by sin. The solution of ecological crisis would depend, therefore, of behavioral changes in consonance with the morality preached by the traditional Catholic orientation. Finally, it was explained how this conservative way with which the Catholic Church faces the environmental problem is related to the process of secularization.

Full textThis work is an ethnography of community from Ilê Asè Omi Olodô (terreiro de Batuque) located in Vila Sao Jose in Porto Alegre, Brazil, from 2011 up to 2013. This terreiro shares attributes with other terreiros, such as their peripheral location in the city and their ritual practices. It is very distinct, however, in terms of political orientation and self-reflective practices over mythical and social themes. Therefore, this research work aims to describe the eco(cosmo)logy – rooted in African origins – observed in the field, considering that it is established between two worlds, occidental-based and African-based. From that standpoint, the objective is to demonstrate the existence of a methodology of the environment whose starting point is the body. The bodyenvironment is perceived in the relation of the daily and the ritual moments; among them, it is possible to see the abilities and potentialities emerged from the orisálidade. Hence, the Ecological Antropology by Tim Ingold contributes to narrate the learning process experienced in Ilê Asè Omi Olodô as a cosmopolitical location. Besides, the narrative is oriented in order to describe the experience of afrocentricity, ancestrality, oral tradition, complementarity and circularity.

Full textReligion as culture shapes the worldview of its subscribers and thence attitude formation and preferences of individuals towards many topics including the environment. Research interest in the impact of religion soared in the late 1960s, in response to White's (1967) article in Science claiming that a huge burden of guilt for the environment crisis rested on the shoulders of Christianity. Although this Dominion Hypothesis highlights the contrast between Christianity and other religions, the contrast has not been addressed in systematic comparative cross-national research assessing whether Christians hold more negative environmental attitudes than other world religions. This dissertation fills that research gap. The Dominion Hypothesis does not exhaust the potential impacts of religion on environmentalism. For example, social psychology posits the importance of experience as well as of culture on attitudes about matters one encounters directly, so the dissertation posits the Direct Experience Hypothesis and confirms the differentiation of local from global environmental attitudes. Moreover, social psychology also directs our attention to the Reverence Hypothesis, that a subjective side effect of religiosity is reverence and responsibility for nature. To address the Dominion Hypothesis that Christians hold less environmentalist attitudes than their peers in other religious traditions, the direct experience effect, and the Reverence Hypothesis, this dissertation includes descriptive analysis, psychometric scale evaluations, OLS regression, and multilevel modeling of data from the pooled World Values Survey/European Values Survey. Findings are mixed on the Dominion Hypothesis, but consistently support the Direct Experience and Reverence Hypotheses.

Full textMost people think Climate Change and sustainability are important problems, but too few global citizens engaged in high-greenhouse-gas-emitting behaviour are engaged in sufficient mitigating behaviour to stem the increasing flow of greenhouse gases and other environmental problems. Why is that? Structural barriers such as a climate-averse infrastructure are part of the answer, but psychological barriers also impede behavioural choices that would facilitate mitigation, adaptation and environmental sustainability. But who can remove the psychological and ethical barriers to pro-environmental actions? The world''s present institutions have failed to address adequately the threat of Climate Change. No politician has been willing to sacrifice the short-term economic welfare of his or her country, even while agreeing that sustainability is essential in the long term. The environmental crisis is not simply an issue of technology (as defined by some developed countries). It is neither because our technology cannot provide enough resources for us to consume, nor because we cannot invent more advanced technology to refine the toxic wastes we produce that environmental problems arise. The essence of the modern environmental crisis is about modern civilization and its underlying values. “Our ecological crisis is the inevitable outcome of the modern economy’s insensitivity to the vulnerability and limits of nature, the mad power struggle of modern politics, modern people’s universally equating happiness with material satisfaction, and their overwhelming acceptance of a mechanical and dualist view of nature.”

Full textThe prospect of global ecological disaster fundamental challenge to modernity as the poses a dominant contemporary socio-cultural matrix. This challenge can only be responded to through a radical socio-cultural transformation which favours those, human and otherkind, who have been marginalised and oppressed by modernity. This will include a change of human consciousness, and. the development of an alternative vision of society in which all humans live in community with each other and with otherkind. It thus has a profoundly religious character. The thesis argues that the central truth claims of the Christian gospel, particularly as they have been understood in the Reformed tradition, require the church to commit itself to working for such a socio-cultural transformation. However, the Reformed tradition can only contribute to this transformation once it is recognised that it has been deeply intertwined with modernity since its emergence, and has contributed to the legitimation of a culture which has degraded the environment. The thesis provides a self-critical exposition of the tradition in the light of the environmental crisis; in dialogue with other Christian traditions, and making use of insights from contemporary biblical scholarship. First, the socio-historical relationship between the Reformed tradition and the rise of modernity is examined. It is argued that, under particular social and economic conditions, the influence of the Reformed tradition accelerated the emergence of modernity. In this interaction with early modernity important components of the tradition were suppressed. Second, the tradition is re-examined to develop a Reformed ecotheology centred on the motifs of the Trinity, the covenant and the glory of God. This ecotheology makes a critical use of the theologies of important figures in the Reformed tradition, including John Calvin, Jonathan Edwards, Abraham Kuyper and Karl Barth. Third, a proposal is developed as to how this ecotheology can contribute to socio-cultural transformation. It does so by using insights gained from the role played by the South African church in the struggle against Apartheid. It argues that the environmental crisis ought to be understood as a kairos for the earth which must lead to a new way of being the church in the contemporary world.
