In the past two decades, urban sustainability has become a new policy common sense. This article argues that contemporary urban sustainability thought and practice is coconstituted by two distinct representational forms, which we call green urban nature and gray urban nature. Green urban nature is the return of nature to the city in its most verdant form, signified by street trees, urban gardens, and the greening of postindustrial landscapes. Gray urban nature is the concept of social, technological, urban space as already inherently sustainable, signified by dense urban cores, high-speed public transit, and energy-efficient buildings. We develop Lefebvre's ideas of the realistic and transparent illusions as the constitutive ideologies of the social production of space to offer a framework for interpreting contemporary urban sustainability thinking in these terms and concretize this argument through case studies of postindustrial greening in the Ruhr Valley, Germany; municipal sustainability planning in Vancouver, Canada; and the Masdar smart city project in Abu Dhabi. We conclude by examining the implications of green and gray urban natures for the politics of urban sustainability.

Cuando a mediados de la década de los cincuentas Raymond Aron levantó la bandera del “fin de las ideologías”, una corriente de aprobación recorrió casi la totalidad del pensamiento no marxista. Las intenciones de Aron fueron claras desde el primer momento; se trataba de oponer decidida y sistemáticamente una barrera al avance del marxismo. Aron se preocupaba por la situación de la intelligentsia occidental, que adoptaba actitudes despiadadas para con las democracias capitalistas, sintiéndose cada vez más atraída por el pensamiento de Marx.

This paper is the investigation and analysis of racist discourses against black people, which were recorded in comments on Facebook and posted by users themselves on the website of this virtual network. In order to investigate and analyze discriminatory discourses, aiming at those of implicitly manifest segregation, it was evaluated how such phrases contributed to the maintenance of inequalities resulting from social relations of domination, with strategies and discursive resources of mobilization and influence. Therefore, the generation of the analyzed data resulted from a collection based on the qualitative and interpretive method, which were described and examined from the perspective of the theoretical-methodological paradigm provided by the Critical Discourse Analysis (ADC) and also by the critical conception of the ideology studies. The corpus consists of four discursive samples, one of which is illustrated by a distinct figure in its original arrangement. Thus, it was found that the subjects / users resorted to various ideologically based prejudiced strategies in their discourses, although disguised, contributing to the hegemony of inequalities, where the continuity of conflicts in ethnic-racial relations prevails.

Los textos aquí presentados son dos fragmentos del libro Ideología, literatura y sociedad durante la revolución guatemalteca 1944-54 (Premio de ensayo, Casa de las Américas, 1979). Dicho trabajo lleva, como objetivo el mostrar, a partir de un análisis concreto (en este caso, la novela Entre la piedra y la cruz del autor guatemalteco Mario Monteforte Toledo, publicada en 1946) que cualquier texto literario se propone la representación de un fenómeno social cuya visión esta ideológicamente condicionada por su autor; de tal manera, el texto no podría jamás confundirse con el fenómeno histórico-social concreto que lo produce.

After a decade of steady growth in the acceptance of the existence of climate change and its anthropogenic causes, opinions have polarized, with almost one third of Americans, mostly Republicans, denying that the climate is changing or that human activity is responsible. What causes Americans to change their minds on this issue? Using a large panel data set, we examined the impacts of direct experience with weather anomalies, ideology, relative prioritization of environmental conservation in comparison to economic development, and motivated reasoning that adjusts individual opinion to align with others who share one's party identification. A generalized ordered logit model confirmed the importance of political ideology, party identification, and relative concern about environmental conservation and economic development on attitude change. The effect of party identification strengthened with attentiveness to news and public affairs, consistent with the logic of motivated reasoning. Recent experience with hot summers, warm winters, droughts, and natural disasters had only a minimal impact on attitude change.

This article examines the effect of left-right political ideology on attitudes toward inequality and the maintenance of the status quo in Colombia. In three studies, we examined the influence of political orientation on attitudes towards economic inequality (Study 1, N = 506), gender inequality (Study 2, N = 277), and political inequality (Study 3, N = 1,555). Our results suggest that people positioning further to the right on the political spectrum —political conservatism—were consistently associated with lower perception of social inequalities, greater justification of the unequal status quo, and refusal to take actions that redress inequality. These results were consistent across different domains, such as economic, political and gender inequalities. Furthermore, our findings also suggest that political ideology was also associated with political and affective polarization. Political ideology is discussed as a category that allows people to perceive and understand the social world from which they position themselves in relation to political issues.
