Meio ambiente, cuidado e direito: intersecções teóricas e práticas a partir da dialética da diferença

Abstract

The capitalist mode of production, based on productivism and accumulation, is full of internal contradictions, which create economic, environmental and civilizational crises. The eco-socialist strategic hypothesis understands that the ecological crisis is a crisis of the capitalist, western, industrial and modern way of life, in which human beings and natural resources become commodities, and the true ecologism must be anti-capitalist and anti-productivism. However, despite the threat to the fundamentals of life on Earth reaching all of humanity, social inequalities have an impact on the environmental sphere, making workers, women and blacks bear the damage of development more intensely, since nature and culture are not apart. Therefore, in this research, we seek to analyze the environmental crisis with an intersectional look, articulating discussions about environmental racism and constructivist ecofeminism, in order to have a concrete impact on the care work in the Brazilian reality. As for the methodology, it is a bibliographic review and data research in which intersectionality and dialectic of difference are associated, according to the historical materialist line. Its conclusions are that the tendency in legal regulation to formally equalize subjects - so present at the heart of the counter-reform movement in social movements - only deepens an epistemological fissure typical of bourgeois legality, inattentive to elements of class, gender, race and subjections to environmental injustices, contributing to the approach to deepen the understanding of the complex and little touched theme of care work from the perspective of the law.
