Abstract:
Desde a sua sistematização como ciência, a Geografia, seja através dos diferentes métodos de produção do conhecimento científico, ou das categorias e conceitos delineadores do pensamento geográfico, tem buscado a interdisciplinaridade com as diversas áreas da Geografia Física e da Geografia Humana. Tomando o método como o vetor de articulação na produção do conhecimento, o presente artigo, resultado da tese de Livre Docência, tem por objetivo refletir as inter-relações existentes entre Geografia, Natureza e Sociedade, tomando como base o materialismo histórico e dialético e o pensamento complexo na construção de uma Geografia que caminhe para a conjunção entre os saberes das áreas ambientais (Geografia Física) e das humanidades (Geografia Humana). A experiência de práxis vivenciada, conjugando teoria e prática, mostram a possibilidade de realização de estudos integrados na Geografia Contemporânea, tendo como vetor principal de condução o método, que neste caso é o materialismo histórico, através da dialética materialista e sua conjunção com a dialógica do pensamento complexo. É pela práxis que tenho realizado um modo de fazer Geografia que permite ao conhecimento ir para além da divisão entre o físico e o humano, no escopo da ciência geográfica.Palavras-chave: Geografia, natureza, sociedade, práxis, dialética materialista, pensamento complexo ABSTRACTSince its systematization as science Geography has searched interdisciplinary approaches with several areas from Physical and Human Geography by means of the different methods of the scientific knowledge production or by means of categories and concepts that delineate the geographical thought. So, taking the method as the articulation vector in the knowledge production, this thesis intends to meditate about the mainly references I have used to discuss Geography, Nature and Society including its inter-relationships, taking as basis the dialectic and historic materialism and the complexity thought in the construction of a Geography that can walks to merge the knowledges of the environmental areas (Physical Geography) and of the humanities (Human Geography). The praxis experiences lived joining theory and practice had shown the possibility of carry out integrated studies in the contemporary Geography, conducted by the method of the historical materialism thought materialist dialectic and its conjunction with the dialogic of the complex thought. It is by the praxis that I had done a way of doing Geography that allows to knowledge going beyond the edge between physical and human in the scope of the geographical science.Keywords: Geography, nature, society, praxis, materialist dialectic, complex thought

Abstract:
We explored the relationship between materialism, awareness of environmental consequences and environmental philanthropic behaviour with a web survey (n=2,079) targeted at potential donors living in Finland. Environmental philanthropic behaviour comprise of donations of money and/or time to environmental charities. The awareness of environmental consequences was divided into egoistic, altruistic and biospheric concerns. Biospheric and egoistic concerns were positively, while materialism was negatively related to environmental philanthropic behaviour. Materialism was related to preference of charismatic species when choosing a target for donation. The results have implications for conservation marketing emphasising the importance of taking the different donor segments into account.

Abstract:
Fetishism has become such a key concept within Western thought, largely as a result of the work of Karl Marx and Sigmund Freud, that it is easy to forget its origins. But the notion of fetishism originates in a very different context, and in many ways, an incommensurable system of thought—animism. Returning to this submerged backstory, I deploy the concept of the fetish to confront the recent enthusiasm for materiality that has emerged in response to current environmental crises. New materialism considers matter to have a liveliness not dependent on human subjects. This paper considers what divides “vital materialism” from the “animist materialism” that continues to structure everyday experience in a range of contexts in Africa and elsewhere and investigates the way in which fetishism, within the intellectual tradition of animism, alerts us to the strange ephemeralness of the avowed materialism of the new materialist project.

Abstract:
PurposeThe purpose of the present study is to examine the relationship between Social and Environmental Accountability (SEA), Attitude towards Environmental Advertising (AEA), Materialism, and Intention to purchase Environmentally Sustainable Products (IPESP).Design/methodology/approachThe study sample consists of 205 business students from two B schools in India. Data was collected through the survey method, and the moderated-mediation model was statistically tested using SPSS Process Macro software.FindingsThe findings of the study suggest that the attitude towards social and environmental accountability (SEA) is positively associated with the intention to purchase environmentally sustainable products (IPESP). Moreover, this relationship is mediated and moderated by AEA and materialism, respectively.Practical implicationsThe findings of the study reveal that a consumer with low materialism and a positive attitude for both environmental sustainability and environmental advertising has higher chances of purchasing environmentally sustainable products.Originality/valueThis study contributes to the existing literature on sustainability by providing a basis for understanding the moderated-mediation mechanism, which affects the relationship between SEA and IPESP; two key variables that have not been examined in combination.

Abstract:
Previous studies have shown that materialism is related to environmentalism, but unstable findings still exist. To clarify the relationships between materialism and pro-environmental attitudes and behaviors, the present study addressed some methodological issues and provided both individual- and regional-level evidence from China. Using data from the World Value Survey and the Chinese General Social Survey, we observed that materialism was negatively associated with pro-environmental attitudes (Study 1, n = 2,300; Study 2, n = 3,672) and pro-environmental behaviors (Study 2). Moreover, we found that pro-environmental attitudes partially mediated the association between materialism and pro-environmental behaviors in Study 2. We further searched for additional regional evidence in Study 3, and we found that the more materialistic regions are, the more energy is consumed. Results indicate that materialism is associated with decreases in pro-environmental attitudes and behaviors. We conclude with a discussion of the theoretical and practical implications of the research findings.

Abstract:
Until recently, most commentators, including ecological Marxists, have assumed that Marx’s historical materialism was only marginally ecologically sensitive at best, or even that it was explicitly anti-ecological. However, research over the last decade has demonstrated not only that Marx deemed ecological materialism essential to the critique of political economy and to investigations into socialism, but also that his treatment of the coevolution of nature and society was in many ways the most sophisticated to be put forth by any social theorist prior to the late twentieth century. Still, criticisms continue to be leveled at Marx and Engels for their understanding of thermodynamics and the extent to which their work is said to conflict with the core tenets of ecological economics. In this respect, the rejection by Marx and Engels of the pioneering contributions of the Ukrainian socialist Sergei Podolinsky, one of the founders of energetics, has been frequently offered as the chief ecological case against them. Building on an earlier analysis of Marx’s and Engels’s response to Podolinsky, this article shows that they relied on an open-system, metabolic-energetic model that adhered to all of the main strictures of ecological economics – but one that also (unlike ecological economics) rooted the violation of solar and other environmental-sustainability conditions in the class relations of capitalist society. The result is to generate a deeper understanding of classical historical materialism’s ecological approach to economy and society – providing an ecological- materialist critique that can help uncover the systemic roots of today’s “treadmill of production” and global environmental crisis.

Abstract:
Purpose The purpose of the study is to investigate consumers’ perceptions of status motivations on retailers’ sustainability efforts and whether collectivism and materialism moderate this relationship. Design/methodology/approach A quantitative research methodology using survey data was used. Data were collected by administering questionnaires from millennial respondents (n = 386) from the USA and Turkey. Findings The results show that cultural value (collectivism) and materialism can serve as moderators of the effects of status motivation and sustainability. The findings indicate that the link between status motivation and sustainability perceptions (both environmental and social sustainability) is stronger for more collectivist consumers. In terms of materialism, while it did not moderate the relationship between status motivation and perceptions of environmental sustainability, it did moderate the relationship between status motivation and perceptions of social sustainability, particularly the uniqueness aspect of materialism. Research limitations/implications The stronger link between status motivation and both environmental and social sustainability for collectivists suggests that the bandwagon effect may be impacting their need for status. The stronger link between status motivation and social sustainability for those more materialistic suggests that their need for status may be more impacted by a snob effect as they want to appear unique. The use of college students is a limitation of this study, and future research needs to explore a wider range of age groups to determine if there are generational differences. Additionally, future research could examine other cultural dimensions such as power distance and masculinity versus femininity. Practical implications Findings from this research provide insights for retailers, especially those targeting the status and luxury market when developing their sustainability plans. An interest in sustainability may aid consumers in meeting their need for status, particularly for those status consumers who are more collectivist, as a means to fit in with their group. For more materialistic consumers, retailers may want to focus more on unique social sustainability efforts that are more publicly noticeable. Social implications Social sustainability, a topic not studied as frequently as environmental sustainability, has significant implications for consumers. The findings suggest that the link between status motivation and social sustainability is stronger for collectivists, suggesting a bandwagon effect. Additionally, the authors find that the link between status motivation and social sustainability is stronger for materialists, particularly the uniqueness dimension of materialism, suggesting a snob effect. Originality/value The originality of this study lies in the exploration of how status motivation impacts consumers’ perceptions of retailers’ environmental and social sustainability efforts and if these relationships are moderated by collectivism and materialism. Few studies have examined social sustainability, especially in terms of culture.

Abstract:
PurposeRecent studies have classified ecotourism behaviour into specific components like site-specific ecological, pro-environmental and environmental learning behaviour. However, the role of materialism in generating these types of behaviour is not clearly understood. Materialism might also affect tourists' environmental engagement. Hence, this study embarks on exploring these research gaps.Design/methodology/approachAll the constructs were operationalized as first-order factors based on extant scales of measurement. After suitable pretesting, the study was able to collect 122 valid responses. The responses were analysed using partial least squares (PLS).FindingsResults suggest that environmental engagement and environmental learning behaviour have prominent roles as enablers. Furthermore, the importance of materialism is not statistically significant and requires further investigation.Research limitations/implicationsWhile the study showed that environmental engagement is a crucial precursor for the development of different types of ecotourism behaviour, it also has limitations. First, the study tested the validity of the proposed associations based on the perceptual responses of 122 tourists who are interested in participating in ecotourism. However, this may lack generalizability. Future research can take a common set of tourists or a specific destination and execute a longitudinal analysis to better understand the way ecotourism behaviour has evolved over time at a destination. This would in turn help the local people and tour planners to develop tourism packages and events.Practical implicationsAs tourists are interested in environmental learning, they are eventually expected to take care of the destination environment in terms of protecting it in every form. This may include reporting of any environment damaging activity, for example, activities that can enhance environmental pollution, etc.Social implicationsMaterialism hinders the environmental conservation spree of tourists, when they indulge more in shopping and leisure trips. Hence, for destination planners it is very important to hold complementary events in addition to the main event to highlight the dire need of involving in ecotourism activities.Originality/valueThe study is of significant contribution for researchers and practitioners as it develops the antecedents and consequences of environmental learning behaviour. Furthermore, this study has implications for managers working for sustainability of tourism destinations.

Abstract:
This thesis investigates how materialism is related to personal well-being, as well as to environmental behaviour. I tested key assumptions in the field, both cross-sectionally and longitudinally, in two samples of adults from two different cultures, the UK – an established mass consumer society – and Chile – a fast-growing economy. Results are presented in the form of three papers. Using a cross-sectional analysis, I showed in Paper 1 that materialism was associated with lower levels of well-being in both countries. Importantly, both need satisfaction and need frustration mediated the link between materialism and well-being. Notably, need frustration played an incremental explanatory role, above and beyond the role of need satisfaction. In Paper 2, I explored the hypothesized link between need satisfaction/frustration and well-being in greater depth. Employing a cross-lagged longitudinal design over 3 years, I found that in both countries, higher total need satisfaction (versus frustration) was a significant prospective predictor of higher well-being. However, when separate needs for autonomy, competence and relatedness were distinguished, only relatedness reached statistical significance in the UK, and none of the three needs individually predicted well-being in Chile. In both countries, need satisfaction prospectively predicted positive well-being, and in the UK, need frustration prospectively predicted negative well-being. Finally, I found a bi-directional link between total need satisfaction and subjective well-being in both countries. These results point towards a better integration of research into hedonic and eudaimonic well-being. In Paper 3, I showed, both cross-sectionally and longitudinally, that a higher relative importance placed on extrinsic (versus intrinsic) life goals was a negative antecedent of environmentally responsible behaviour, even while controlling for effects of environmental worldviews and environmental identification. Taken together, these results show the negative effects of materialistic values and life goals in both people's well-being and in the future of our the natural environment.

Numa perspectiva do materialismo histórico e dialético, realizamos a análise textual do conjunto de documentos que compõe o processo de licenciamento ambiental os quais propõem e relatam as ações de Educação Ambiental (EA), tal como definidos em sua estrutura na Nota Técnica CGPEG/DILIC/IBAMA no. 01/2010. O objetivo do trabalho foi identificar os elementos teóricos que influenciam a efetivação do trabalho comunitário, suas dificuldades e possibilidades. Nossa inquietação é resultante do ecletismo conceitual que sofrem tais propostas de trabalho, embora haja por parte do órgão licenciador (IBAMA) orientações que apontam o referencial teórico pautado nas diretrizes da educação no processo de gestão ambiental enquanto abordagem formulada e adotada pela referida instituição pública, inspirada na tradição crítica da EA. Nosso trabalho descortina palavras-chave e termos no conjunto textual do processo que se expressam como ícones ou categorias analíticas que por vezes são antagônicas com o aporte teórico da EA transformadora e da teoria crítica que acreditamos apropriada ao trabalho socioambiental, em consonância com o IBAMA. Nosso foco foi explicitar as diferenças, dissensos e antagonismos entre ambos os métodos, bem como apontar as fragilidades de propostas que se baseiam em uma educação comportamental, na psicologia ancorada na autoajuda e possivelmente na teoria comunicativa em detrimento de outras abordagens com centralidade no trabalho, nas ações políticas e na transformação social. As conclusões do estudo apontam para uma metodologia de trabalho ancorada nos movimentos sociais e populares com corte de classe, assim como no compromisso com a organicidade intelectual proposta por Gramsci e a práxis inspirada em Marx e Mészáros, definitivamente descartando o iluminismo e a dicotomia teoria e prática. Por fim, apontamos uma proposta de roteiro de Projeto/Programa de Educação Ambiental (PEA) do ponto de vista do Método (Materialismo histórico e dialético).
From the perspective of dialectical and historical materialism, we conducted a textual analysis of the documents that make up the licensing process which report and propose actions in Environmental Education (EE), as defined in its structure in the Technical Note CGPEG / DILIC / IBAMA no. 01/2010. Our aim was to identify the theoretical elements influencing on the effectiveness of community work, based on its difficulties and possibilities. Our concern was a result of the conceptual eclecticism suffered by such work proposals, although guidanceis given by the licensing agency (IBAMA)which points out the theoretical framework based on the guidelines for education in the process of environmental management as an approach formulated and adopted by that public institution, inspired by the critical tradition of EE. Our study reveals keywords and terms from the textual set of the process which are expressed as icons or analytical categories that are sometimes conflicting with theory of transformative EE and the critical theory that we find appropriate to the socioenvironmental work in line with IBAMA. Our focus was to explain the differences, disagreements, and conflicts between both methods, as well as to point out the weaknesses of proposals that are based on a behavioral education, a psychological approach rooted in self-help, and possibly the communicative theory to the detriment of other approaches concerned with work, political action, and social transformation. The study's findings point to a methodology of work rooted in social and popular movements with class cutting, as well as commitment to the intellectual organicity proposed by Gramsci and the praxis, grounded on Marx and Meszaros, definitely setting aside the Enlightenment and the dichotomy between theory and practice. Finally, we point out a guideline proposal for Environmental Education Projects (AEPs) from the standpoint of the Method by historical and dialectical materialism.

Abstract:
In this project I argue that trauma is a major component of society. Rather than positioning trauma as an event, I contend that it should be understood as an environmental force. To form this reorientation I look to an actual environment and the ways in which it remembers and responds to systemic violence. Specifically, I track the colonization and exploitation of Mount Baldy, and how natural occurrences such as floods and fires have consistently threatened human development on the mountain. If trauma is both monumentally impactful and an environmental force, then it merits a major rethinking of many of the aspects of human existence that are assumed to be stable. In chapter 1, I move trauma outside of the psychological definitions of the DSM and into a communal and systemic framework. In chapter 2, I use a case study of Mount Baldy to understand how environmental forces react to trauma, which provides a way to imagine how a society or community might collectively operate as a traumatized being. In chapter 3, I undertake a material research process using clay harvested from Mount Baldy. Clay, which mimics characteristics of the human body and is literally a part of the natural environment, connects the embodied nature of trauma for human to the ecological manifestations of trauma. This allows a glimpse at what it might mean to acknowledge trauma as a major component of the human experience.

Bibliography : leaves 152-161.
Nature exists as an objective reality on which human beings rely physically and spiritually. We are part of nature. But throughout human and environmental history 'nature' has also existed as a human idea and cultural construct. We project our values, fears, and aspirations onto our environment so that in nature we see a reflection of our own historical development and social existence. Our different class, cultural, and gender life experiences generate different attitudes towards our natural environment. For the most part we regard the ideas and attitudes towards nature as natural, and not as ideological constructions. Dominant techno centric and ecocentric discourses within contemporary environmentalism unselfcritically regard nature as a commodity and as a moral authority respectively. These alienated and romanticised views of nature reflect our contemporary estrangement from the natural world that we are part of Marx's dialectical materialism provides the analytical tools to critique the human/nature dualism expressed by technocentrism and ecocentrism and offers a more dynamic, historical, and ecological perspective on the changing relations between humans and' their natural environment. As humans we are also apart from nature. We have a unique capacity to stand aside and consciously shape our relation with nature, albeit within the constraints and possibilities offered by ecological processes. How we define that relationship is for the most part determined by our own human economic, social, and political relations. This thesis argues that our contemporary alienation from, and abuse of, nature emerges out of the development of capitalist economic and social relations and the ethic and practice of the private ownership of natural resources. Ironically, it is the most alienated and impoverished sector of human society that offers the most progressive perspective on reconciling humans with nature. The struggles of urban and rural working class and poor communities for environmental justice integrates social, economic, political, and ecological issues in a way that poses a radical challenge to the alienated dualism of mainstream environmentalism. This thesis explores and highlights the progressive possibilities that the 'environmental justice perspective offers in our struggle for social justice and ecological wisdom.

O objetivo desta pesquisa doutoral foi investigar a interdisciplinaridade na produção acadêmica em Educação Ambiental (EA), a partir de uma perspectiva ontometodológica alicerçada no materialismo histórico-dialético. A tese central considera que as relações entre interdisciplinaridade e educação ambiental, como tem sido refletida pelos autores do campo ambiental, reduz o debate ambiental a fórmula do “projeto em parceria”, sem considerar os axiomas político-ideológicos. O “projeto em parceira”, se constitui numa alternativa para o problema da disciplinaridade, que é discursivamente apresentada na EA como uma patologia a ser superada através de práticas interdisciplinares. Sua viabilização reporta a presença de pesquisadores de diversas áreas como uma necessidade inerente o trabalho interdisciplinar. Assim, partimos da indagação: A contribuição do método dialético marxista é capaz de potencializar a interdisciplinaridade na EA para o enfrentamento do projeto capitalista? O estudo foi desenvolvido a partir de uma pesquisa bibliográfica alicerçada no método dialético marxista. Consideramos que as transformações da sociedade capitalista suscitam desafios à questão interdisciplinar na EA neste contexto de crise ambiental e civilizatória. Logo, compreendemos a interdisciplinaridade e sua relação com a EA confere uma dimensão que está presente no campo curricular e nos documentos das principais Conferências ambientais. Postulamos que as implicações ontometodológicas do materialismo histórico-dialético na pesquisa em EA problematizam a interdisciplinaridade no que tange a compreensão da dialética marxista para a questão ambiental diante do enfrentamento e da transformação da relação sociedade-natureza no atual projeto societário. Em termos metodológicos, os autores analisados foram escolhidos por tais razões: a) devido a sua relevância e contribuição ao campo da pesquisa em EA no Brasil e; b) procuraram sistematizar a questão interdisciplinar em parte de suas obras; c) pelas suas contribuições ao debate epistemológico da EA e, d) suas obras e textos destes constituem no campo da EA referências de investigação para a questão interdisciplinar. Os principais resultados desta tese evidenciam que o desenvolvimento de uma perspectiva dialética e interdisciplinar contempla a apreensão complexa e contraditória do movimento real e da materialidade dos processos educativos em suas relações, disputas, diálogos e conflitos inerentes a contestação ou transformação do projeto societário capitalista. Sustentamos que as discussões da interdisciplinaridade na EA não podem ser dimensionadas pela primazia do “projeto em parceria”, omitindo a dimensão política dos sujeitos envolvidos no processo de compreensão do conhecimento e das relações lotadas de materialidade, conflitos e contradições inerentes a dimensão política. Apontamos para a incorporação das categorias do materialismo histórico-dialético no desenvolvimento da concepção interdisciplinar e em suas relações na EA, onde a categoria totalidade se constitui como um horizonte ontometodológico necessário ao enfrentamento radical do padrão societário atual através de uma EA efetivamente crítica, transformadora e interdisciplinar.
The goal of this doctoral research was to investigate the interdisciplinarity in academic production in Environmental Education (EA), from a perspective ontomethodological grounded in historical materialism-dialectic. The central thesis believes that relations between interdisciplinarity and environmental education, as has been reflected by the authors of the environmental field, reduces the environmental debate the formula of "project in partnership", without considering the axioms political-ideological. The "project in partnership", is an alternative to the problem of interdisciplinarity, which is discursively presented in EA as a pathology to be overcome through interdisciplinary practices. Its viability reports the presence of researchers from several areas as a need inherent in interdisciplinary work. Thus, we assume the inquiry: The contribution of method marxist dialectic is capable of potentiating the interdisciplinarity in EA for facing the capitalist project? The study was developed from a literature search based on method marxist dialectic. We believe that the transformations of capitalist society pose challenges to interdisciplinary issue in EA in this context of environmental crisis and civilization. As soon as we understand the interdisciplinary nature and its relationship with the EA gives a dimension that is present in the field curriculum and in documents of major environmental Conferences. We postulate that the implications ontomethodological of historical materialism-dialectic in research in EA problematize the interdisciplinarity in terms understanding the marxist dialectic to the environmental issue they face and the processing of society-nature in the current corporate design. In methodological terms, the authors analyzed were chosen for these reasons: a) due to their relevance and contribution to the field of research in Brazil and; (b) sought to systematize the interdisciplinary issue in part of their works; (c) for their contributions to the debate epistemological in EA and (d) their works and texts of these are in the field of EA references research for the interdisciplinary issue. The main results of this thesis show that the development of a dialectical perspective and interdisciplinary contemplates the seizure complex and contradictory movement of real and the materiality of educational processes in their relations, disputes, dialogs and conflicts inherent in the contestation or processing of project corporate capitalism. We argue that the discussions of interdisciplinarity in the area may not be sized for the primacy of "project in partnership", omitting the political dimension of the subjects involved in the process of understanding the knowledge and relations crowded materiality, conflicts and contradictions inherent in the political dimension. We pointed to the incorporation of the categories of historical materialism-dialectic in the development of interdisciplinary approach and in its relations to the AREA, where the whole class is as a horizon ontomethodological necessary to cope with the radical corporate standard current through a EA actually critical, manufacturing and interdisciplinary.

Full text
Abstract:
Walter Benjamin warned in 1940 of a certain inconspicuous threat to political thinking, not least of all to materialism, that takes progress as an historical norm. Implicit in this conception is what he describes as an empty continuum of time along which the prevailing tradition chronicles its own mythic development and drains everyday life of genuine historical experience. The myth of progressive history advances insidiously today in consumeristic and technocratic attempts at reconciling cultural imagery with organic nature. In this dissertation, I pursue the contradictions of such images as they crystallize around the natural history of twenty-first century commodity society, where promises of ecological remediation, sustainable urban development, and climate change mitigation have yet to introduce a true crisis of historical experience to the ongoing environmental crisis of capitalism. A more radical way of seeing the cultural representation of nature would, I argue, penetrate its mythic determination by market forces and bear witness to the natural-historical ruins and traces that constitute, in Benjamin's terms, a single "catastrophe" where others perceive historical continuity. I argue that Benjamin's critique of progress is instructive to interpreting those utopian dreams, ablaze in consumer life and technological fantasy, that recent decades of growing environmental concern have channeled into the recovery of an experience of the natural world. His dialectics of nature and alienated history confront the wish-image of organic abundance with the transience of its appropriated expression in the commodity-form. Drawing together this confrontation with a varied literature on collective memory, nature, and the city, I suggest that our poverty of experience is more than simply a technical, economic, or even ecological problem, but rather follows from the commodification of history itself. The goal of this work is to reflect upon the potentiality of communal politics that subsist not in rushing headlong into a progressive future but, as Benjamin urges, in reaching for the emergency brake on the runaway train of progress.

Full text
Abstract:
The aim of this thesis is to identify and examine the factors influencing environmentally-significant consumption (ESC) by higher-income households (HIH) to provide theoretical and social marketing insights. Income is highly related to levels of energy consumption and associated environmental damage, but despite research documenting the links between income and energy use, there is a lack of enquiry into what shapes the ESC patterns of HIH and therefore how behavioural interventions might be best fashioned to reduce energy use. A postmodern approach to consumption that recognises the interplay between the psychological, the social and the cultural (a psycho-socio-cultural approach), indicates that ESC is not an automatic consequence of wealth but rather mediated through the way consumption practices are symbolically connected with the satisfaction of underlying needs, including the need for identity and other psychological orientations. These connections are not universal or static but socially and culturally contextual and influenced by many factors, particularly marketing. Social marketing, as marketing for social good, therefore has a critical role to play in altering these symbolic connections and therefore consumption behaviour. To design and market alternative lower energy consumption through social marketing interventions, an understanding of how environmentally-significant consumption is connected with modes of need satisfaction and psychological orientations is necessary. Additionally, an understanding of constraints to even higher levels of consumption is useful. This study provides initial research momentum, using a HIH sample from South Devon. Primary data from a quantitative questionnaire was supported in design by qualitative interviews. These provide descriptive and correlational results about what shapes the consumption of; leisure flights, large-engine cars and new durable products, as well as the role of environmentally-significant psychological orientations, specifically: values; materialism; environmental concern and identity. The research also provides a comparative analysis between a group of HIH who have participated in Global Action Plan’s EcoTeam programme, and the general sample of HIH.

"Materialism as morality in the ANWR oil drilling debate : a critical investigation into the reification of science, the marginalization of values, and the power of discourse within environmental conflict." Thesis, Queen Margaret University, 2014. https://eresearch.qmu.ac.uk/handle/20.500.12289/7353.

Full text
Abstract:
Modern science is well established as the institution through which knowledge is legitimated, facts are produced, and credibility is assigned. Operating within the prevailing capitalist socio-political order, science is also controlled by the wealthy elite, whose resources are required for its production, evaluation, and implementation. Beyond disproportionately serving powerful interests, however, science enables the most privileged groups within society to embolden certain understandings of the world and marginalize others, to shape public perceptions, behaviors, and norms, and thus to reinforce the existing social systems and institutions that support their own dominance. Building on critical scholarship that addresses inequality by problematizing the structures and practices that reproduce power, this thesis examines the prominent and politically opposed positions of the oil industry and mainstream environmentalists in the U.S. policy debate over whether to permit petroleum development in Alaska’s Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR). Specifically, through Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA), I explore how these two ‘mid-stream’ scientific actors, which have effectively appropriated the wider ‘for’ and ‘against’ drilling campaigns respectively, each engage with the generation as well as dissemination of technical knowledge in order to substantiate their arguments and enhance the authority of their claims. The analysis presented here demonstrates that the hegemonic framing of the ANWR conflict, which I describe in terms of Materialism as Morality, reifies scientific expertise whilst burying values beneath assumptions of objectivity and neutrality. It also allows incongruent truth claims to eclipse the many legitimate but competing perspectives, priorities, investments, ideologies, risks, and ethical dilemmas that lie at the heart of the ANWR drilling debate. Moreover, this framing is implicit in the perpetuation of systemic social and environmental injustice. Ultimately, my research argues for a transformative politics that engages all stakeholders in the negotiation of competing interests, the discussion of social values, and the production of scientific knowledge; and above all, which recognizes the interconnectivity of all three.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis draws upon the young theory of eco-masculinities and the aspiring movement of economic degrowth. We find the concept of eco-masculinities to be an underrepresented complement to the movement of ecofeminism. Studies show that masculine people are less involved in sustainability-related issues in conventional society. We identified this phenomenon as the ‘eco gender characteristics gap’. In the following pages, we elaborate what eco-masculinities can look like at an ecovillage and where we can see possible connections between eco-masculinities and a degrowth mindset. We do so by analysing qualitative data derived from observations of, interviews with and a questionnaire filled out by people living in ecovillages. At an ecovillage, it seems that awareness about feelings and emotions as well as communicating them are highly valued. Our analysis shows that these factors form crucial parts of precepts for eco-masculinities to develop. Connected to degrowth, we can see that eco-masculinities have to be actively implemented and are not automatically attained by living in an alternative setting. We hope that our gained insights contribute to gender characteristics research and to the understanding and acceptance of diverse eco-masculinities in society.

Abstract:
AbstractBased on recent ethnographic fieldwork at an intensive dairy farm, this chapter examines the usefulness of posthuman critical theory for developing a new sociolinguistic approach to nonhuman animal agency. We explore how dairy cows, as encaged sentient beings whose mobility is profoundly restricted by bars and fences, negotiate their environment as a material-semiotic resource in linguistic acts of place-making. Drawing on the fields of critical posthumanism, new materialism and sociolinguistics, we explain how dairy cows imbue their physical space with meaning through materiality, the body and language. By developing a non-anthropocentric approach to language as a practice of more-than-human sociality, we argue for establishing egalitarian research perspectives beyond the assumptions of human exceptionalism and species hierarchy. The chapter thus aims to contribute towards a new understanding of nonhuman agency and interspecies relationships in the Anthropocene.

Abstract:
The assessment of fatigue and cyclic crack growth behavior of safety relevant components is of importance for ageing management with regard to safety and reliability. For cyclic stress evaluation different codes and standards provide fatigue analysis procedures to be performed considering the various mechanical and thermal loading histories and geometric complexities of the components. For the fatigue design curves used as limiting criteria the influence of different factors like e.g. environment, surface finish and temperature must be taken into consideration in an appropriate way. Fatigue tests were performed in the low cycle fatigue and high cycle fatigue regime with low-alloy steels as well as with Nb- and Ti-stabilized German austenitic stainless steels in an air and high temperature BWR environment to extend the state of knowledge of environmentally assisted fatigue as it can occur in BWR plants. Using the RPV steel 22NiMoCr3-7 experimental data was developed to verify the influence of BWR coolant environment (high purity water as well as water containing sulphate with 90 ppb SO4 and water containing chloride with 50 ppb Cl at a test temperature of 240 °C and an oxygen content of 400 ppb) on the fatigue life and to extend the basis for a reliable estimation of the remaining service life of reactor components. Corresponding experiments in air were performed to establish reference data to determine the environmental correction factor Fen. The experimental results are compared with available international mean data curves, the new design curves and on the basis of the environmental factor Fen.

Full text
Abstract:
The Hypothetical Accident Conditions (HAC) sequential tests of radioactive materials (RAM) packages includes a thermal test to confirm the ability of the package to withstand a transportation fire event. The test specified by the regulations (10 CFR 71) consists of a 30 minute, all engulfing, hydrocarbon fuel fire, with an average flame temperature of at least 800°C. The requirements specify an average emissivity for the fire of at least 0.9, which implies an essentially black radiation environment. Alternate tests which provide equivalent total heat input at the 800°C time averaged environmental temperature may also be employed. When alternate tests methods are employed, such as furnace or gaseous fuel fires, the equivalence of the radiation environment may require justification. The effects of furnace and open confinement fire environments are compared with the regulatory fire environment, including the effects of gases resulting from decomposition of package overpack materials. The results indicate that furnace tests can produce the required radiation heat transfer environment, i.e., equivalent to the postulated pool fire. An open enclosure, with transparent (low emissivity) fire does not produce an equivalent radiation environment.

Abstract:
Various laboratory tests have shown that high-pressure water vapor environments combined with elevated temperatures and intermediate gas velocities (current facilities limited to about 50 m/s) can cause grain boundary degradation and material recession in silica formers. Recent tests include burner rig testing conducted by NASA [1], Honeywell Engines & Systems [2], Siemens Power Generation [3], CRIEPI in Japan [4, 5], “Keiser rig” testing at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) [6], and engine testing in the Allison 501K industrial gas turbine [7]. This paper presents a summary of oxidation test data of candidate silicon nitride materials for advanced microturbine applications. These data are of interest to microturbine component designers in order to determine the limits of safe unprotected component operation with respect to the given turbine environment, as well as to understand the behavior of ceramic microturbine components once local spallation of the protective environmental barrier coating has occurred. This paper intends to give materials and engine development engineers some guidance with respect to the different test facility capabilities and the prevailing oxidation/recession mechanisms to better understand/interprete the oxidation test results when developing new ceramic material compositions and environmental barrier coating systems.

Abstract:
A pressurized fluidized-bed combustion combined-cycle (PFBC/CC) concept represents an attractive system for generating electric power at high efficiencies while meeting environmental requirements. An integral part of the technology required for commercialization is the long-term, trouble-free operation of the gas turbine in the high-temperature effluent from the PFBC. This environment has significant potential for corrosion, erosion and deposition in the gas turbine. The occurrence of any one or combination of these three processes may result in the loss of turbine efficiency and/or reduced power output. This paper summarizes and compares recent results of experimental tests assessing the corrosion and erosion potential of selected gas turbine materials. Based on these and earlier results in simulated and actual PFBC environments, the corrosion and erosion potential of gas turbine materials is assessed.

In the work, the effectiveness of hydrosystem functioning, when the filtration characteristics of the drainage trench backfill are improved by admixing lime materials, is analysed after a 28-year period of use. The tests of effec-tiveness of hydrosystem functioning were carried out in the test object of Raseiniai district, Kalnujai. The drainage was installed in the drying systems and the filtration characteristics of trench backfills were improved by admixing the lime material. Analysing the maximum comparative debits of drainage in the control drying systems in the period of spring and autumn 2016 (0.006 and 0.190 ml/s m, respectively) as well as comparative debits in the period of spring and autumn (0.015 and 0.311 ml/s m, respectively) in the drainage, which filtration characteristics of trench backfills were improved by admixing chalkly materials (0,6% ground mass), the results were better by 60.0 and 38.9%, respec-tively. Assessing the drainage system effectiveness indexes of 2012, 2013 and 2016 with the reliability of 95%, it can be stated that the effectiveness of drainage functioning, when the lime materials were used for the improvement of the filtration characteristics of drainage, did not change essentially after a 28-year period of use.

Full text
Abstract:
The paper presents possible ways of utilizing technogenic waste – fluorine anhydrite – by its use in production of dry mortars and piece goods from lightweight concrete with expanded polystyrene, as a organic filler, for low-rise construc-tion. The developed dry mortars are based on fluorine anhydrite binder and complex modifier comprising curing activator (sulfate or alkaline) and finely dispersed additive. The fluorine anhydrite-based compositions have improved physical and performance characteristics, including the improved strength and average density and reduced water absorption compared to the control composition. The developed lightweight anhydrite polystyrene concrete has the density grade of 700 kg/m3 and good vapor and gas permeability. The concrete is stabile while using and fire safe, because each granule of expanded poly-styrene is coated with anhydrite matrix, and has the strength sufficient for structural and heat insulating slabs and blocks. All mentioned compositions are eco-friendly and are in great demand for low-rise construction. Therefore the manufacturing of these compositions will consume a large amount of technogenic waste and will reduce the environmental load on the region where the waste is located.

Full text
Abstract:
As efforts continue to incorporate environmental sustainability into product design, struggles persist to concurrently consider the environmental impacts resulting from transportation planning and supply chain network design. In fact, the transportation sector is the second largest contributor to direct greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the United States, following electricity generation. To address these concerns and consider environmental issues more holistically during the development of products, Design for X (X: manufacturing, environment, etc.) methods, such as environmentally benign manufacturing (EBM) and life cycle assessment (LCA) continue to be advanced through research. In spite of improving environmental performance through design, supply chain related impacts are not well understood and can be impacted by decisions made during product design. Thus, the aim of this research is to explore how changes to the design of a product affect manufacturing supply chain configurations and, in turn, influence product environmental sustainability. The environmental impacts for producing several three-ring binder design variations are predicted by assuming a given set of suppliers that provide materials and components to the manufacturer. Supply chain transportation impacts are also accounted for in the analysis. Transportation impacts are found to be minor compared to materials and manufacturing impacts.

Abstract:
This Dredging Operations Environmental Research (DOER) technical note disseminates novel methods to monitor and reduce contaminant mobility and bioavailability in water, sediments, and soils. These method advancements are enabled by additive manufacturing (i.e., three-dimensional [3D] printing) to deploy and retrieve materials that adsorb contaminants that are traditionally applied as unbound powders. Examples of sorbents added as amendments for remediation of contaminated sediments include activated carbon, biochar, biopolymers, zeolite, and sand caps. Figure 1 provides examples of sorbent and photocatalytic particles successfully compounded and 3D printed using polylactic acid as a binder. Additional adsorptive materials may be applicable and photocatalytic materials (Friedmann et al. 2019) may be applied to degrade contaminants of concern into less hazardous forms. This technical note further describes opportunities for U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) project managers and the water and sediment resource management community to apply 3D printing of polymers containing adsorptive filler materials as a prototyping tool and as an on-site, on-demand manufacturing capability to remediate and monitor contaminants in the environment. This research was funded by DOER project 19-13, titled “3D Printed Design for Remediation and Monitoring of Dredged Material.”
