    (2020) ZUPELARI, Maria Fernanda Zanatta; CAVALARI, Rosa Maria Feiteiro
    One of the ways to understand the socioenvironmental crisis is to perceive it as a manifestation of the contemporary occidental society’s knowledge crisis, i.e., the way our society understands, interacts with, and intervenes in the nature. The objective of the present study was to identify the theoretical contribution of the Modernity/Post Modernity debate presented by the Brazilian academic research on Environmental Education to understand, contextualize and explain the socioenvironmental crisis and provide elements for the theoretical foundation of this knowledge area. The investigation consisted in the analysis of twenty-four academic studiesfrom the project Environmental Education in Brazil: analysis of academic production (theses and dissertations), and is characterized as a state of the artresearch. Under the qualitative content analysis approach, the present studyanalyzed eighteen master’s degree dissertations and six doctoral thesis defended between 1992 –2009 in nineteen education and research institutions located in the southeastern and southern regions of the country.The Modernity/Post Modernity debate is present in the Brazilian Environmental Education, weaving the relations between the socioenvironmental crisis and Modernity Paradigm. Fromthe studies analyzed, seven address such relations objectively, five promote a latent discussion, and the eleven remaining, despite not having evidently thematized the topic, described a possible paradigmatic transition that would be occurring between theModernity paradigm and its successor, as a consequence of the socioenvironmental crisis. The studies indicate a consensus in what regards the ecologic, environmental of social crisis is a complex and broad one, and cannot be reduced to the idea of naturalresource scarcity or finitude. According to these studies, this crisis experienceis grounded on some aspects of the Modernity Paradigm, such asthe fragmentation of the modernscientific knowledge; the disenchantment of the world; theChristianism; rationality; anthropocentrism; and eurocentrism. The analyzed studies regard the relationship between the socioenvironmental and the Modernity crises as indissociable; therefore, such relationship cannot be explained through a rigid and simplified cause-and-effect approach.
