Resumo
This article contains reflections on the effects of the dual ecological determinism
on the Brazilian social formation. Elaborate from literature sources, the research
is based on the critical eye of the postcolonial thought, colonial semiosis, as in
society-nature perspective of Environmental History, it proposes to deconstruct
the foundations of domination in the dual representation of nature in Brazil.
Since the colonial period the representation of nature in Brazil occurred in a
dual perspective: provider haven of wealth, and/or limiting factor to society;
both representations are tributaries of ecological determinism, founded mainly
on the Aristotelian idea of the tropics as a limiting factor to societies, and in the
Theory of the degeneration. This dualism originated from the utilitarian and
externalized view of the society-nature during the process of colonial
domination. Influenced the construction of the "Brazilian be‖, since the identities
of the Brazilian people were associated with the notion of wild forests,
ecological environment and natural resources, operating in the way the
Brazilian sees himself, and is seen. The results explain that, if before the signs
of colonial domination disguised as "green destination" were external, in this are
internalized in the media, literature, science and politics, offering mental barrier
to the identification of the potential and limits of ecological environment, as well
as the development of a society with high sustainability.
