Green Criminology and exercises of visuality in Havana: confusion, states of denial and “orientales"

Abstract

The following article seeks to question the basis of the so-called Green Criminology by developing and analogy between Stanley Cohen’s states of denial idea, as evidenced in a peripheral area of Havana, Cuba highly degraded, and the omissions and invisibilities following the global North-South logic. In a broader outline, I seek to problematize the three major perspectives or ways of approaching to Green issues from a Green Criminology frame: anthropocentric, biocentric and ecocentric, and advocate for more imaginative, collaborative and dialogic studies with other disciplines and with the socalled Global South.
