Um outro senso comum: práticas socioambientais entre os ribeirinhos do Baixo Amazonas

Abstract

The reflection exposed in this work problematizes the notion of common sense in its epistemological and cultural aspects as a way of interpreting the socioenvironmental experience of the riverside inhabitants in the Lower Amazon and the symbolisms that surround their practices based on associative practices of knowledge and knowledge that are the result the dynamics of living in the relationship with rivers, forests and urban environments. It highlights in this experience the power relations, the result of a complex web that involves the conservationist discourses, the valorization of the riverside knowledge and its resignified practices. We will show some of these practices as unfolding a vision about the environment to demonstrate beyond conservation discourses that these practices are imbued with a network of symbolisms reproduced in their experiences, which we will call a new common sense.
