Article Abstract:

The use of poststructuralist critical theory to warn environmentalists setting up another hierarchical power structure by the mere replacement of a reality construction is acknowledged, but only to a certain degree.

The deconstruction of essentialist discourse is said to have failed to lay the groundwork for the opposition of the environmental movement.
