Gender, Environment and the Theory of Complexity
subject: Complexidade, Educação, Gênero, ecología humana, meio ambiente
description: We use the theory of complexity to analise gender questions, showing that those arebuilt by society in an exchange of interactions between nature and culture. Thebioanthropological rootsand and the sociocultural characteristics contain different experiences,knowledge and wisdom, in a complex organization in which oposition does notmean extinction,and difference does not imply hierarchy. We can apply Morin’s “tetralogical ring” concept,which admits disorder, organization, order and interaction to the understanding of the impassebetween masculine and feminine, humans and non-humans, towards a paradigmatic changein the social and environmental relations.
