Movimento permacultural, comunicação, sustentabilidade e mudança social

Abstract

This article proposes to establish a defense of the relevance of the community issue in the debate on Sustainable Development related to the field of Communication for Social Change (TUFTE, 2013; 2015), in addition to analyzing the principles and practices of the permaculture movement, a potentially relevant phenomenon in the context of the discussion proposed here. Throughout the text, we seek to provide a brief overview of the main problems associated with the capitalist development model and discuss the extent to which the permacultural movement presents itself as a possible alternative to the aforementioned hegemonic development model. Finally, we understand that a desubstantialist view of the community is needed from a perspective that encompasses a more integrative communication on sustainable development issues based on an ecology of knowledge that takes permaculture into account.
