Resumo
This paper analyses the links between postmodernism and post-structuralism in the environmental education field and their potential in education research. It also discusses the differences between postmodernism and post-structuralism criticisms towards the modern project provided by the Enlightenment. These new perspectives allow to examine the ideological role played by metanarratives in the construction of world views, particularly reviewing the notions of truth, order, progress and human subject as significant elements of a distinct methodological approach. Finally, the paper analyses the concept of weak thought and how much it is worth in the construction of a paradigmatic proposal more according to the post-structuralist ideas.
