Abstract

The purpose of this article is to analyze how the rights of Nature currently constitute a counter-hegemonic paradigm, based on a critical conception of Law, which can be used in the field of litigation. As occurred with the indigenous population of Cherán (Mexico), which used legal recourse to obtain recognition of its autonomy and thus the management of environmental spaces. Adopting the deductive method and the bibliographic research, as well as the case study, this research is divided into three sections. Initially, it delves into the theory of the rights of Nature as a counter-hegemonic paradigm; subsequently, it focuses on Law’s essence and its political use from a Marxist perspective, and finally, it analyzes the hypothesis of this political use in counter-hegemonic litigation based on the study of the Cherán case.
