Objetivos:

Objectives:

This course aims to introduce the theoretical and methodological principles of Environmental Anthropology and related areas, as well as to discuss them from a historical perspective and the recent advances in the field.

Justificativa:

Antropologia Ambiental é uma das poucas áreas do conhecimento acadêmico que desenvolveu ao longo dos últimos quarenta anos um arsenal verdadeiramente interdisciplinar - que se estende de questões contemporâneas como globalização e mudança climática até as reflexões ontológicas sobre a natureza das relações entre o humano e o não-humano. Embora extremamente fértil, tamanho leque de possibilidades, também criou polêmicas e críticas acirradas entre várias linhas teóricas interessadas nos domínios do comportamento humano e suas relações com a natureza. Embora o interesse por essa área do conhecimento tenha sido crescente no exterior, ainda é modesto o seu avanço deste campo no Brasil -- apesar do nosso óbvio interesse nos seus temas de investigação. O curso aqui proposto vem preencher esta lacuna, bem como prover um instrumental teórico metodológico alternativo que incorpora repertórios da Antropologia, Arqueologia, Geografia, História e, obviamente, ciências naturais, com ênfase para a ecologia.

Rationale:

Environmental Anthropology is one of the few areas of academic knowledge that over the past forty years has developed a truly interdisciplinary arsenal - stretching from contemporary issues such as globalization and climate change to ontological reflections on the nature of the relationships between the human and the non-human. Although extremely fertile, such a range of possibilities, it also created polemics and fierce criticism among several theoretical lines interested in the domains of human behavior and its relations with nature. Although the interest in this area of knowledge has been growing abroad, its advancement in in Brazil is still modest -- despite our obvious interest. The course proposed here fills this gap, as well as providing an alternative theoretical and methodological tool that incorporates repertoires from Anthropology, Archeology, Geography, History and, obviously, natural sciences, with an emphasis on ecology.
