Transgenics in Dispute
This book analyses the conflict over the release of transgenic soybean in Brazil based on a narrative analysis of political conflict. At the end of the 1990s, the commercial release of Roundup Ready (RR) soybean triggered a heated debate over the introduction of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in Brazilian agriculture, which developed into an open political conflict opposing pro- and anti-GMOs groups in Brazilian society. This volume examines some of the structuring axes of this conflict by applying a narrative analysis of political conflict. In this approach, politics is perceived as a process of interpretive conflict in which participants in the political game seek to establish the l...
Environmental Sociology

It presents the proposal for an environmental sociology considering the dilemmas surrounding sustainable development, ecological modernization, and risk society.

Transgênicos em Disputa: Os Conflitos Políticos na Liberação Comercial dos Ogms no Brasil
Ao final da década de 90, a liberação comercial da soja RR (Roundup Ready) desencadeou um conflito que se ampliou para diferentes partes do país. A liberação sinalizou o primeiro passo para o uso dos transgênicos na agricultura brasileira. E, com ele, questões como ciência, tecnologia, lei, política, cultura, ética e economia foram capturadas pela explosão social do risco transgênico. Transgênicos em disputa: os conflitos políticos na liberação comercial dos OGMs no Brasil busca examinar alguns dos eixos estruturantes desse conflito. Para isso, o autor utiliza-se de uma análise política narrativa. A política é percebida nessa abordagem como um processo de luta interpreta...

Capitalism and Environmental Collapse
This book intends to be an alert to the fact that the curve measuring environmental costs against the economic benefits of capitalism has irreversibly entered into a negative phase. The prospect of an environmental collapse has been evidenced by the sciences and the humanities since the 1960s. Today, it imposes its urgency. This collapse differs from past civilizations in that it is neither local nor just civilizational. It is global and occurs at the broadest level of the biosphere, accelerated by the convergence of different socio-environmental crises, such as: Earth energy imbalance, climate change and global warming Sea-level rise Decrease and degradation of forests Collapse of terrestri...
Food Biotechnology in Ethical Perspective
This revised edition updates Thompson’s trail-blazing study of ethical and philosophical issues raised by biotechnology. The 1997 book was the first by a philosopher to address food and agricultural biotechnology, discussing ethical issues associated with risk assessment, labelling, animal transformation, patents, and impact on traditional farming communities. The new edition addresses the debates of the intervening decade, including cloning, the Precautionary Principle, and the biotechnology debate between the United States and Europe.
