OLIVEIRA, Alessandro Roberto de. “There’s no environment here (yet)”: indigenous politics of knowledge at the Brazil-Guiana border. Etnográfica [online]. 2017, vol.21, n.2, pp.247-268. ISSN 0873-6561.
This paper deals with contemporary dynamics of interethnic communication between indigenous peoples and the universe of actors and environmentalist discourses in Brazil. The ethnography of local communities living in the Jacamim indigenous land, situated in Roraima, on the border with Guyana, presents different indigenous positions in discussions about the concept of “environment.” The objective is to reflect about the idea of “dialogue” that seems to mark the indigenous politics of knowledge facing hegemonic practices of commensuration. These practices are coming to the villages through the implementation of a national public policy of environmental and territorial management of indigenous land.
Palavras-chave : politics of knowledge; interethnic communication; commensurability.
