 Apresenta&#231;&#227;oEmbora a crise ecol&#243;gica constitua um problema p&#250;blico central do nosso  tempo, n&#227;o h&#225; consenso quanto &#224;s suas implica&#231;&#245;es pol&#237;ticas e sociais. O  ambiente constitui-se, portanto, num grande campo de disputa simb&#243;lica e  material, largamente dominado por abordagens&#160; reducionistas  (tecnicistas e/ou economicistas), muitas vezes alheias &#224; dimens&#227;o social  das quest&#245;es ecol&#243;gicas, onde&#160; a desigualdade dos impactos e dos danos  (em termos de distribui&#231;&#227;o socioecon&#243;mica) &#233; um aspeto particularmente  importante. Por outro lado, a maioria dos novos movimentos sociais,  assim como um n&#250;mero crescente de &#34;especialistas&#34;, j&#225; exprimem uma vis&#227;o  da crise ambiental como efeito de uma crise social de dimens&#227;o  planet&#225;ria. O ambientalismo n&#227;o &#233; s&#243; um assunto do foro da &#34;urg&#234;ncia de  resolu&#231;&#227;o&#34; atrav&#233;s de&#160; solu&#231;&#245;es t&#233;cnicas. Existe hoje em dia um  ambientalismo popular bem como movimentos pela justi&#231;a ambiental, tanto  no Norte como no Sul, que se baseiam na perce&#231;&#227;o da rela&#231;&#227;o entre  desigualdades ambientais e sociais.Novas ferramentas te&#243;ricas t&#234;m sido elaboradas nos &#250;ltimos 10-15 anos,  no &#226;mbito das ci&#234;ncias sociais e humanas, que permitem analisar&#160; as  quest&#245;es ambientais de forma menos dicot&#243;mica (al&#233;m das oposi&#231;&#245;es  ambiente versus sociedade, natureza versus cultura) e mais abrangente do que no passado.Esta chamada de artigos prop&#245;e-se reunir contribui&#231;&#245;es que, pela  compreens&#227;o da crise ambiental contempor&#226;nea, utilizem criticamente os  instrumentos de an&#225;lise provenientes das seguintes &#225;reas de  investiga&#231;&#227;o: justi&#231;a ambiental, sa&#250;de coletiva, democracia/cidadania  ecol&#243;gica, economia ecol&#243;gica, ecologia pol&#237;tica, ecocriticismo,  sociologia ambiental e hist&#243;ria ambiental. Prop&#245;em-se os seguintes eixos tem&#225;ticos: 1. Crise econ&#243;mica, (de)crescimento e (in)sustentabilidade (ex.:  reconvers&#227;o produtiva, relocaliza&#231;&#227;o, com&#233;rcio ecossolid&#225;rio, redes  sociais ecologistas). 2. Migra&#231;&#245;es e meio ambiente (desloca&#231;&#245;es coletivas decorrentes de  fatores como: constru&#231;&#227;o de barragens, desastres naturais, mudan&#231;as  clim&#225;ticas, esgotamento de recursos naturais, parques nacionais,  pol&#237;ticas de reabilita&#231;&#227;o urbana, pol&#237;ticas ambientais e pol&#237;ticas  antimigrat&#243;rias). 3. Agriculturas urbanas e periurbanas (seguran&#231;a alimentar, alimenta&#231;&#227;o saud&#225;vel, sustentabilidade agr&#237;cola). 4. Diversidade biocultural (ex.: sementes e medicinas tradicionais, saberes locais, propriedade coletiva). 5. Impacto social dos novos riscos para a sa&#250;de coletiva (ex.: mudan&#231;as clim&#225;ticas, transg&#233;nicos, tr&#225;fico de lixo t&#243;xico). 6. Racismo ambiental (ou seja, transfer&#234;ncia de custos ambientais para  popula&#231;&#245;es ind&#237;genas, minorias &#233;tnicas, afrodescendentes). 7. Grandes obras (ex.: comunica&#231;&#245;es, minera&#231;&#227;o, produ&#231;&#227;o de energia) e conflitos ambientais. 8. Mobiliza&#231;&#245;es contra a privatiza&#231;&#227;o de recursos (&#225;gua, sementes, paisagem, etc.). 9. Novas narrativas e novas linguagens da crise ecol&#243;gica (nomeadamente  as chamadas &#8216;verdades desconfort&#225;veis&#8217;, seguran&#231;a ambiental nacional, green washing, (in)justi&#231;a ambiental e clim&#225;tica).Espera-se que as contribui&#231;&#245;es abordem as diferentes tem&#225;ticas  propostas tendo em aten&#231;&#227;o dois eixos de questionamento transversais: a  intera&#231;&#227;o entre o local e o global, com particular enfoque no que cada  quest&#227;o implica em termos de rela&#231;&#245;es Norte-Sul, e os desafios e/ou  oportunidades que cada quest&#227;o representa para a democracia e para a  emancipa&#231;&#227;o social.Propostas As propostas dever&#227;o chegar para o endere&#231;o rccs@ces.uc.pt. at&#233; 30 de setembro de 2012Dever&#227;o incluir: t&#237;tulo, resumo do artigo (m&#225;x. 900 caracteres com  espa&#231;os), artigo completo (m&#225;x. de 50 000 caracteres com espa&#231;os), breve  nota biogr&#225;fica (m&#225;x. 500 caracteres com espa&#231;os) do/a(s) autor/a(s) e  declara&#231;&#227;o de autoriza&#231;&#227;o de publica&#231;&#227;o.

The environment is, therefore, a symbolic and material  playing field, largely dominated by reductionist approaches  (technocratic and / or economistic), often unaware of the social  dimension of environmental issues, where inequality of the impacts and  damages (especially in socio-economic terms) is a particularly important  aspect. On the other hand, most new social movements, as well as a  growing number of &#34;experts&#34; have expressed a vision of the environmental  crisis as manifestation of a social crisis of global dimension.  Environmentalism, in fact, is not just a matter of &#34;urgent resolutions&#34;  in technical and/or managerial fashion. There is today a non-mainstream  environmentalism and environmental justice movements in both the North  and the South of the globe, which act upon the perception of an organic  unity between environmental and social inequalities. New theoretical tools have been developed over the past 10-15 years,  within the Social Sciences and Humanities, allowing to analyze  environmental issues in a less dichotomous and more comprehensive  fashion than in the past, beyond usual opposition such as that between  environment and society, nature and culture. This call for contributions  aims to bring together papers that utilize critical and analytical  tools that come from the following research areas: Environmental  Justice, Public Health, Ecological Democracy (or Citizenship),  Ecological Economics, Political Ecology, Environmental Sociology,  Eco-Criticism, Environmental Sociology and Environmental History. The  contribution of this issue will therefore be to gather a set of these  new approaches to offer a critical reflection on the contemporary  environmental crisis.The suggested topics to be addressed by contributions are:1. Economic crisis, (de)growth and (un)sustainability (e.g.,  productive restructuring, &#8220;relocalization&#8221;, eco-solidarity economy,  ecological social networks).2. Migration and environment (mass dislocations arising from: dam  constructions, natural disasters, climate change, depletion of natural  resources, national parks, urban regeneration policies, environmental  policies and anti-immigration policies).3. Urban and peri-urban agriculture (food security, healthy food, sustainable agriculture).4. Bio-cultural diversity (e.g. traditional seeds and medicine, local knowledge, collective ownership).5. Social impact of new public health risks (e.g. climate change, GMOs, trafficking of toxic waste).6. Environmental racism (i.e.: charging environmental costs on indigenous populations, ethnic minorities, African descendents).7. Mega-projects (e.g., communications, mining, energy production) and environmental conflicts.8. Mobilizations against the privatization of resources (water, seeds, landscape, etc.).9. New narratives and new languages ​​of the ecological crisis (e.g.  &#8216;the inconvenient truth', national environmental security, green  washing, environmental and climate in-justice).It is hoped that the contributions address the different topics  paying attention to two transversal axes of inquiry, namely: the  interaction between local and global, with particular focus on what each  question implies in terms of North-South relations; and challenges  and/or opportunities that each issue poses to democracy and social  emancipation.To submitProposals should be receivedat the address rccs@ces.uc.pt  by September 30, 2012 They should include:     title        abstract (900 characters max.)        full paper (which must not exceed 50,000 characters with spaces)        brief biographical note (500 characters max.) of the author(s)         and an authorization for publication    All details at http://www.ces.uc.pt/rccs/normaspubrccsen.pdfThe conveners will give notice of the acceptance by the end of October 2012.
