Abstract

The University of Coimbra, with more than 730 years of history, has a vast accumulated, material and immaterial heritage, which reflects all periods of history and scientific research in Portugal. The universal value of this immense collection, in particular of the biological collections and libraries, calls upon the University of Coimbra for the effort to preserve it, but also to disseminate and value it. In the conviction of knowledge to be of all and for all, we revise ourselves in the certainty that Open Science is indispensable to a more informed and more aware society of the Planet it inhabits, contributing to make it more human, more just and more democratic. The illustrations reproduced here were taken from several works kept by the library of the Department of Life Sciences of the University of Coimbra. Thus, it was also our purpose to make known the rich and wide collection of the University of Coimbra, using books for one of its purposes: learning and a taste for science.

Abstract

What do we mean when we refer to the world? How does the world relate to the human person? Are the two interdependent and, if so, in what way? What does the world mean for the ethnographer and the anthropologist? Much has been said of worlds and worldviews, but are we really certain we know what we mean when use these words? Asking these questions and many more, this book explores the conditions of possibility for the ethnographic gesture and how those possibilities can shed light on the relationship between humans and the world in which they are found. As Joao de Pina-Cabral shows, important changes have occurred over the past decades concerning the way in which we relate the way we think to the way we are as a humanity embodied. Exploring new confrontations with a new conceptualization of the human condition, Cabral sketches a new anthropology, one that contributes to an ongoing separation from the socio-centric and representationalist constraints that have plagued the social sciences over the past century.

Abstract

Tout au long de l'histoire de la pensée naturaliste moderne, la vie végétale a été subordonnée aux autres formes de vie. Les plantes et, plus largement, la « nature » ont été assimilées à des ressources à exploiter, une vision qui a de profondes résonances dans la catastrophe écologique actuelle. La production de nouveaux récits s'avère urgente et demande de mobiliser des références culturelles, techniques, symboliques et cognitives autres que celles du modèle dominant. C'est ce à quoi nous invite cet ouvrage : au fil des chapitres, ancrés dans les territoires des peuples amérindiens et des communautés locales du Brésil, nous sommes confrontés à une diversité de savoirs, indissociables de modes de vie et de visions du monde engendrés dans un processus constant de vie partagée entre humains et végétaux. Avec la participation de chercheurs autochtones et non autochtones de diverses disciplines, d'activistes et de paysans engagés dans l'agroécologie, ce livre nous offre une pluralité de perspectives et d'engagements pour renouveler notre lien au monde végétal dont il est urgent d'enfin écouter les voix. Il s'adresse tant à un grand public intéressé par la diversité des entrelacements entre sociétés et plantes qu'aux chercheurs et aux étudiants.
