What papers tell us: environmental disasters in Santa Catarina mid-nineteenth century to the twentieth. (English)

The purpose of this poster is under of Environmental History, to examine how major newspapers portray Santa Catarina news on social and environmental disasters, in the State of Santa Catarina, from the second half of the nineteenth century until the end of the twentieth century. The Environmental History considers the social and environmental disasters as events resulting problem of the complex relationship between human/nature. Therefore, to examine how these events are represented over the years, contributes to understanding the perceptions of the natural world. The Environmental History recognizes that living and nonliving forms of the Earth system affect the lives of human beings. The impacts and changes caused by human assemblages occur in the natural world for some time and are mutually conditioned. Thus, disasters are socially constructed, it is from the contradictory relationship with the environment that the various human groups face the consequences of disasters. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

O objetivo deste trabalho é, sob o viés da História Ambiental, analisar de que forma os principais jornais catarinenses retratam as notícias sobre os desastres socioambientais, ocorridos no Estado de Santa Catarina, a partir da segunda metade do século XIX, até o término do século XX. A História Ambiental considera os desastres socioambientais como acontecimentos problemáticos resultantes da complexa relação entre ser humano/natureza. Logo, examinar o modo como esses eventos são representados ao longo dos anos, contribui para a compreensão sobre as percepções do mundo natural. A História Ambiental reconhece que formas vivas e não vivas do sistema terrestre afetam a vida dos seres humanos. Os impactos e as mudanças causadas pelos agenciamentos humanos no mundo natural ocorrem há algum tempo e são mutuamente condicionados. Desta forma, os desastres são socialmente construídos, pois é a partir da contraditória relação com o meio ambiente que os mais diversos grupos humanos enfrentam as consequências dos desastres.
