Post-Critical Environmental Education as a Possibility for more Sensitive Educational Practices

Abstract

This manuscript presents the contributions of sensibility in the creation of affective bonds and engagement in environmental issues. The arguments were built from the content analysis of three doctoral research studies in which the results presented data that allowed for convergent reflections: I- experiences in nature during childhood, II- experiences and affective bonds with places and moments III- aesthetic/sensory experience in the environment. We conclude by arguing for the relevance of an ontological turn in research and in the deepening of studies that investigate the interface between new ecological epistemologies and environmental education.
