Abstract

Sustainable Development (SD), through interpellations, contributes to the ideology of progress and economic development in Brazil. With a Brazilian economy oriented toward exports, the conflicts and tensions derived from processes of social (re)production of space are silenced. The expansion of the mining and real estate sectors, along with other sectors, has legitimized their projects at the cost of degrading, at times irreversibly, the environment and forcibly dislocating communities. This article, which uses discourse analysis, has two parts: in the first we relate Ideas of Progress (IP) and the Ideology of Development (ID) to the Ideology of Sustainable Development (IDS); in the second we present, through discourses/practices that emerge from some mining and real estate sector businesses, examples of  terpellations of the IDS.
