Traditional populations, Ecological time, DisembeddingAbstract
Although time in modernity is conceived in a linear way, there are traditional populations who associate natural rhythms to their social rhythms. This allows them to live in an ‘ecological time’. Based on the concept of disembedding, this paper discusses the disagreement generated by decrees issued by IBAMA (Brazilian Environmental Agency) regulating the fenced season of crab fishing in the South and Southeast, in relation to the local knowledge of the catadoras (female crab collectors) in Gargaú, RJ. The ‘ecological time’ of the catadoras is, then confronted with the decrees in order to demonstrate the disembedding pro moted by some modern institutions when they overlook traditional contexts.Downloads
