Le maïs et la mémoire bioculturelle de Mésoamérique
Notre contribution s'attache à l'aspect cosmogonique, cognitif et pratique de la culture du maïs et du système agricole traditionnel dénommé « milpa » (maïs-haricot-courge) au sein de l’aire agraire mésoaméricaine. Cet espace est considéré comme le résultat d’un déploiement civilisationnel ancien de dix mille ans qui se poursuit aujourd'hui, et dont l’activité bioculturelle s’est centrée sur l’agriculture. Dans ce vaste territoire d'où il est ori…
The Struggle for Life
The global expansion of the neoliberal model is most forcefully expressed in the processes of social, cultural, and environmental predation undertaken by corporations in the so-called Global South. Three pertinent processes are taking place in Mexico: (1) an increase in socio-environmental conflicts, mainly in rural areas and in predominantly indigenous territories; (2) the proliferation of citizen resistance of an essentially communal, municipal…
Participatory identification and mapping of maize diversity in the Pátzcuaro-Zirahuén Basins, Michoacán, Mexico
Please click here to download the map associated with this article. The map presented in this paper is a result of a participatory exercise in maize collection, classification and mapping with farmers from 19 rural communities of the Pátzcuaro and Zirahuén Basins of central western Mexico. It shows evidence of how specific bio-physical factors control maize diversity distribution in a patchwork-like pattern at a regional level, in a mixed ethnic …
Reconciliando naturaleza y cultura
El problema de la conservacin del paisaje y sus geositios toma relevancia debido a su destruccin y degradacin por fenmenos naturales y sociales, tales como sismos, tsunamis, tormentas, turismo y urbanizacin no planificados, entre otros. El paisaje de la costa norte de Michoacn, como resultado conjunto de naturaleza y hombre, ha sido evaluado para proponer su conservacin a partir de una visin holstica. Esta costa ha sido poco estudiada pese a pres…
A etnoecologia
O artigo revela uma maneira de valorizar os conhecimentos milenares sobre a natureza dos povos indígenas e rurais do planeta. Esta valorização se denomina Etnoecologia, nova disciplina híbrida, transdisciplinar e pós-normal. Distinguem-se as duas tradições intelectuais que elaboraram uma compreensão sobre a natureza: a ocidental, forjadora da ciência moderna e a que aglutina diversas formas de compreensão sobre o mundo natural, denominada a exper…
Ethnoecology of the Yucatec Maya
There is a growing interest worldwide in adopting interdisciplinary approaches for studying the complex and dynamic interplay between societies and landscapes. During the last few years, ethnoecology, broadly defined as an integrative study of beliefs, knowledge and practice of a given social entity, has emerged as a useful research method for the comprehensive understanding of landscape use and management. Maya people have inhabited the Yucatan …
