Abstract

The present article tries to problematize, in a marked by the narratives of sustainable development scenario, the insufficiency of the concept of environmental injustice as a distributive issue by analyzing the case of the prohibition of movement of carts in the city of Porto Alegre. It proposes the theoretical analysis of situations of environmental injustice based on the theory of recognition that, in seeking to understand the causes of social disrespect, can contribute to the unveiling of cynicism in the proposals for ecological modernization that use the protection of nature to maintain or produce modes of social exclusion.
