Resumo

The premise of this article is the understanding that there is, among the Brazilians, the existence of a horizontal and disseminated environmental conscience that does not consist with a daily practical concern on the subject. That is, even faced with the diagnosis of a global ecological crisis or the growth limits of our current socioeconomic standards, the individuals seem to act towards their selfdestruction. The question is: what makes well-informed individuals, who were taught how and why to act correctly, choose not to do it? How do you explain this phenomenon? In this small article, we propose an approximation between the environment issue, with its irregularity between theory and practice, and the theoretical-methodological instruments proposed by Elster.
L’article part d’une constatation: chez les brésiliens, l’existence d’une conscience environnementale horizontale et disséminée n’est pas suivie d’une pratique quotidienne consistante. Autrement dit, nonobstant le diagnostique de la crise écologique globale ou des limites de la croissance de l’actuel modèle de développement socio-économique, les individus semblent agir vers l’autodestruction. Une question est donc posée: qu’est-ce qui amene les individus parfaitement renseignés sur comment et pourquoi agir correctement à n’est pas le faire? Comment expliquer ce phénomène? Ce bref article propose un rapprochement entre la problématique environnementale, le décalage entre ce qui se professe et ce qui se pratique, et l’instrumental théorique-méthodologique proposé par Jon Elster.
