Full textThe mobility of the Yanomami plays a decisive role in the construction of the Amazon landscape by producing clearings to be regenerated after their moving among residences. This process should not be reduced only to its historical ecology, since it is closely linked to the social organization horizontality, regulated by inter-community alliances. In this study I mapped the trajectories of some Yanomami groups in Toototopi, Homoxi, Marauiá and Moxihatetemapë, the latter resistant to contact. In the other three, the \"attraction post\" established by the government causes both an attraction and a resistance given its exchange potential. My experience of almost a decade in these posts investigating the intentionality of indigeneous mobility and its continuity is reviewed. The Yanomami have invented intelligent ways to maintain a pendular relation to be near and distant from these permanent contact sites, using second residences, near and far from health services, by the river or taking advantage of what interested them in their contact while refusing the elements that could lead to a colonial system or a perversion of social relations due to the creation of some coercive mechanism; this was done through an update on alterity, a reverse anthropology, until foreigners were still in minority. The strategic intentionality of this processes of radical refusal mirrors the resistance to contact of the Moxihatetemapë. I therefore advocate a relation between this and the construction (and defense) of the Amazonian landscape, expressed in the cosmopolitics of Davi Kopenawa.

Full textCette recherche s’intéresse essentiellement à l’aspect pragmatique du concept d’adaptation aux changements climatiques, questionnant la réalité de l’adaptation – ou de la non adaptation – des populations à l’échelle locale. Pour ce faire, nous avons axé l’étude autour d’enquêtes de terrain menées dans le sud du Bénin, au sein de communautés rurales agricoles. Nous avons analysé la vulnérabilité climatique des populations à des aléas relevant de la variabilité du climat, qui semble s’être accentuée récemment. L’analyse repose sur le recours à un cadre d’analyse s’inspirant des approches contextuelles et top-down utilisées, dans la littérature récente, pour étudier la vulnérabilité aux changements climatiques. Ces approchent complémentaires permettent d’étudier la vulnérabilité initiale d’une société, fragilisée alors par de nouveaux stress qui émergent dans le contexte du réchauffement global.
Au final de cette recherche, nous avons mis en évidence les causes de la vulnérabilité climatique de populations sud-béninoises, causes situées à différentes échelles (locales à internationales), ainsi que les facteurs favorisant l’émergence de stratégies d’adaptation au climat :l’étude de ces facteurs inclut l’impact des politiques internationales de soutien à l’adaptation aux changements climatiques sur des populations locales du Bénin. Il ressort, en conclusions, que la vulnérabilité des sociétés doit s’étudier en regard de facteurs situés aux échelles locales, nationales et internationales, influençant les conditions de vie au sein de villages et favorisant la vulnérabilité des populations aux stress climatiques pouvant relever du réchauffement global. Dans nos cas d’étude, les populations sont vulnérables de par certains facteurs socio-économiques influençant les conditions de vie dans les villages, et, sur le plan de l’encadrement institutionnel, de par la faiblesse des structures de l’Etat, décentralisées :celles-ci se sont révélées peu présentes dans les villages étudiés, n’assurant pas le développement socio-économique et agricole à l’échelle locale. La vulnérabilité des populations qui en résulte est alors amplifiée par certains aléas climatiques spécifiques, accentuant la variabilité climatique et provoquant une certaine imprévisibilité au niveau de la pluviométrie. Réduire la vulnérabilité climatique des populations, y compris à des aléas qui pourront s’amplifier au cours des prochaines années, implique dès lors des actions se situant à différentes échelles – l’échelle locale, mais également visant certains aspects du fonctionnement de l’Etat béninois – et relevant à la fois, spécifiquement, de l’adaptation aux changements climatiques et, plus généralement, du développement socio-économique et institutionnel.

Full textIncreased participation in the market economy by indigenous and extractive communities of rainforest inhabitants is known to causes changes in their use of natural resources. While several previous studies evaluated the changes provoked in hunting and agriculture, the effects on fishing and on fish consumption are often neglected, despite fish consumption is an important source of protein for these populations. This study, therefore, aimed to evaluate the effects of market exposure to fishing and fish consumption, and the consequences to the time budget of households. We departed from two hypotheses, the first one proposed that increases in market exposure should be associated with less time devoted to fishing, as well as a smaller amount of fish consumed by households. The second assumed that increases in market exposure should decrease the time that adult men devoted to fishing, whereas it would raise the time devoted to the activity by adult women and the elderly. To test that, we studied seven communities belonging to five indigenous and extractive societies of the Brazilian and Bolivian Amazon. Data came from an interview-based survey and two direct observation techniques (i.e., random-interval instantaneous sampling and weigh day) and were analyzed using descriptive analysis and mixed models with fixed and random effects. The results show that fishing and market activities as well the greatest proportion of income of the households are provided by adult men. Besides, increasing the time devoted to market activities was associated with reduced time spent on fishing by households and only by men. In contrast, higher levels of monetary income were associated with increased fish consumption by households and had no effect on the time dedicated to fishing for men, women and the elderly. Four factors may explain these results: (i) existence of trade-off in time, causing those who devote more time to market have little time to fish; (ii) changes in fishing gear and in the foraging area (means of transport), which allows increased consumption with less time devoted to the activity to the richest families; (iii) increases in fish purchase with concomitant reduced its sharing; and (iv) activities with higher levels of income do not necessarily involve big time spent. We conclude that the involvement of families in the market economy has differentiated or null effects on fisheries, depending on the indicators adopted.
