“…As Blühdorn (2000: 48) has suggested, constructionist environmental sociologists focus on the ways in which contemporary societies frame and process their knowledge about the external natural world. Thus it is generally agreed upon that the epistemological version of constructivism is a promising enterprise, whereas the ontological one is rather a dead-end (see Peterson 1999). Therefore, nature is not deprived of its reality, but declared an entity in possession of an objective reality that is logically prior to any social construction.…”

Milton (1996Milton ( , 2002 aponta para essa questão ao estudar a contribuição da antropologia para a resolução de questões ambientais.…”

“…Studies about the environmental perception of urban or rural communities reveal the values, expectations and imagination derived from the relationships individuals have with their natural environment (HOEFFEL et al, 2008;MARIN;COMAR, 2003;PACHECO;SILVA, 2006).
