"Tradução. Antropologia aplicada ou "antropologia implicada
A noção de "antropologia aplicada" detém uma má reputação entre os antropólogos franceses, especialmente entre os que trabalham com povos minoritários. Na França, a bibliografia sobre o tema se limita à obra de Roger Bastide (1971), que discute, principalmente, teses de autores americanos e latino-americanos. Portanto, procurarei, em primeiro lugar, identificar os contextos históricos e políticos dessa relutância que, em sua maior parte, remetem …

Chihuahuan Desert Vegetation Development during the Past 10,000 Years According to Pollen and Sediment Data at Upper Arroyo, Saltillo, Mexico
Pollen and sediment data from a 10.5 m-deep alluvial exposure and a secondary tributary exposure at Upper Arroyo, a seasonal river, in Saltillo, Mexico, were examined with the aim of reconstructing the vegetation and environmental history during the Holocene as a whole. The role of climate change in Chihuahuan Desert flora development after 8800 BP was assessed, in addition to more local physiographic factors, such as erosion and accumulation, so…
Vegetation History and Estuarine Ecology of the Texas Gulf Coastal Plain in Relation to Climate and Sea-Level Changes According to Three Pollen Cores
The vegetation history of the Texas Gulf Coastal Plain in the Holocene is considered according to pollen evidence from three coring sites where both terrestrial and marine ecology are reconstructed. These pollen sites record oscillations in the limit of the Southeastern US Forest zone in relation to climate changes, with a major, southward migration of the forest limit and expansion of the range limit of Betula nigra being recorded in the 6th mil…
Multi-profile fine-resolution palynology of Late Mesolithic to Bronze Age peat at Cat Stones, Rishworth Moor, Central Pennines, UK
Palynological data from three radiocarbon dated peat profiles at Rishworth Moor in the Pennine hills of northern England provide a record of vegetation change and human impacts in the Late Mesolithic, Neolithic and Bronze Age periods. All three cultures have archaeological sites present in the vicinity, with Late Mesolithic sites by far the most abundant, comprising mainly very late assemblages dominated by ‘rod’-shaped microliths. Pollen evidenc…
What was the ecological impact of a Trypillia megasite occupation? Multi-proxy palaeo-environmental investigations at Nebelivka, Ukraine
Fine-resolution sampling of pollen, non-pollen palynomorphs and microcharcoal as well as sedimentological data in a 6-m sediment core were used to reconstruct both natural conditions and human impacts in the late fifth and early fourth millennia cal bc in the environs of the Nebelivka megasite in Kirovograd Oblast, Central Ukraine. This 238-ha site, dating to the Middle (or BII) Phase of the Trypillia culture, represents one of the first low-dens…

Situação Etnográfica' e Movimentos Étnicos. Notas sobre o trabalho de campo pós-malinowskiano
Este artigo analisa as mudanças nos parâmetros políticos, éticos e epistemológicos do trabalho de campo antropológico clássico induzidas pela emergência em escala mundial de movimentos políticos indígenas e de ONGs que os apoiam. Primeiramente são examinadas as conexões entre as políticas de desenvolvimento do pós-guerra e a emergência dessas organizações indígenas e indigenistas. Segue-se uma discussão geral sobre as relações entre lutas etnopol…

Pollen Taphonomy and Hydrology at Vranský potok versus Zahájí Alluvial Pollen sites
analyses of pollen samples in a 4.5 m sediment core at Vransk potok in the peruc sandstone region of north Bohemia demonstrate the potential of alluvial sites towards reconstruction of vegetation history in lowlands settled intensively by prehistoric and medieval farmers. the radiocarbon chronology indicates continuous sedimentation from the Bronze age. For this sequence, a method of relating pollen taphonomy to fluvial hydrology, deforestation a…
Aires protégées, espaces durables
Autrefois enclaves marginales de protection de la nature, les aires protégées, apparues dès la fin du XIXe siècle, représentent aujourd’hui 12 % des surfaces émergées et concernent l’ensemble des territoires de la planète. Dans le contexte du développement durable, on attend à présent qu’elles répondent à la fois à des objectifs de conservation de la biodiversité et de développement social. La « durabilité » de ces espaces est en effet au cœur de…
Ethnogeography and Resource Use among the Yanomami
Study of the spatial patterns of land use and forest resource exploitation by a Yanomami community in northern Amazonia (Brazil) combining high-resolution satellite imagery and global positioning system survey data with ethnogeographic fieldwork shows that its natural-resource use is configured in terms of "reticular space" rather than a set of discrete concentric exploitation "zones." This model of reticular space has general relevance for the Y…
Homoxi
This article examines the social and economic changes experienced by the Yanomami Indians of the Upper Mucajaí River region (Brazil) due to the gold rush of the late 1980s. It details the regional geopolitical context, focusing on the poorly documented Roraima gold rush, and its impact on three Yanomami communities (Tirei, Xereu, and Yaritha). The study analyzes the transformation of their spatial and productive model, first in the face of the in…

Anthropologie et recherche biomédicale
Les recherches biomédicales sans bénéfice sanitaire direct pour les communautés qu’elles étudient sont de plus en plus contestées par les représentants des peuples autochtones.

Introdução
A temática geral que deu origem a este volume surgiu de uma insatisfação com o parco interesse antropológico pelo pensamento indígena sobre os fatos e efeitos das "situações de contato" que, quando existente, limitava, convencionalmente, sua abordagem aos "mitos do branco" ou às categorizações interétnicas, como se estas narrativas e classificações constituíssem, nessas sociedades, quadros culturais exclusivos para conceber e construir eventos e …
O ouro canibal e a queda do céu
Prólogo Territorialidade e etnicidade A ocupação da Amazônia brasileira deu-se segundo uma série de ciclos baseados na exportação de produtos extrativos e na exploração feroz da mão-de-obra indígena: drogas do sertão no século XVII, cacau no século XVIII e borracha no século XIX. Depois do colapso do boom da borracha na década de 1910, a economia da região caiu na estagnação, sendo precariamente sustentada por frentes extrativistas, garimpeiras e…
Pacificando o branco
Índios do Norte da Amazônia estão nos descrevendo, nos amansando, tentando nos entender e se entender conosco. Alguns há vários séculos, outros há poucos anos. Como podemos compreender o modo pelo qual somos compreendidos? Durante a última década, a antropologia preocupou-se muito com o problema inverso: como podemos compreender o modo pelo qual compreendemos os outros? E ficou assim entretida demais com seu próprio umbigo. Este livro magistral, …

Ethnographic Situation' and Ethnic Movements
■ This paper analyses the changes induced in the political, ethical and epistemological parameters of classical anthropological fieldwork by the world wide emergence of indigenous political movements and related support NGOs. It looks first at the links between post-war development policies and the rise of these indigenous and indigenist organizations. It then introduces a general dis cussion about the relationships between ethno-political strugg…
Yanomami 'Violence
Indian Lands, Environmental Policy and Military Geopolitics in the Development of the Brazilian Amazon
This article examines the realignments of the developmentalist discourse and strategy of the Brazilian military for the Amazon during the civilian government of the 'New Republic' (1985-90). It focuses on a case study, i.e. the official expropriation of the lands of the Yanomami Indians in the states of Roraima and Amazonas along the Brazil/Venezueta border. The analysis brings to light how, during this period, the military aimed at neutralizing …
