Description du projet
Un point de vue plus qu’humain sur la transformation et la gouvernance des paysages ruraux
Les acteurs humains et non humains ont contribué aux transformations socio-environnementales mondiales des paysages ruraux. S’appuyant sur deux études de cas menées dans des communautés indigènes des hautes terres de Bolivie et du Chili, le projet HI-LANDeS, qui est financé au titre des Actions Marie Skłodowska-Curie, entend essentiellement développer une approche plus qu’humaine pour étudier le rôle des pratiques communautaires et de la production de connaissances autour de l’eau et des terres dans la transformation et la gouvernance des paysages ruraux. La mise en œuvre du projet repose sur des recherches dans les archives, du travail de terrain et des ateliers communautaires, analysés dans un cadre global soutenu par une collaboration transdisciplinaire. Grâce au transfert de connaissances entre la recherche historique et la gouvernance environnementale, les informations recueillies pourraient faciliter l’adoption de politiques de conservation et de développement rural plus inclusives aux niveaux local et mondial.
Objectif
HI-LANDeS develops a conceptually innovative and empirically grounded historicising approach to the transformation and governance of rural landscapes. In the face of planetary-wide anthropogenic change, new knowledge and methods are required to better grasp how human and nonhuman lives co-produce socio-environmental transformations through “more-than-human” histories. Strategic sites for carbon storage, water sources, and biodiversity, as well as home to resilient indigenous communities, Andean wetlands offer a unique case-study to examine “more-than-human” landscape histories, and how these can inform contemporary socio-environmental challenges.
The main objective of HI-LANDeS is to construct and apply an analytical framework that integrates a historicising, systemic, and more-than-human perspective on rural landscapes to investigate the role of communal practices and knowledge production around water and land in the transformation and governance of rural landscapes. HI-LANDeS departs from two case studies in indigenous communities of the Bolivian-Chilean highlands, based on archival research, fieldwork, and community workshops, analysed within a global framework and a transdisciplinary collaboration. HI-LANDeS will produce new empirical knowledge, critical theoretical insights, and innovative co-creational methods that can contribute to more inclusive conservation and rural development policies, in the Andes, Europe but also more globally.
This global fellowship facilitates a three-way transfer of knowledge between expertise in rural history, world-ecology, and rural development at UGent (Belgium), a strong tradition in Andean historical anthropology at UTA (Chile), and the fellow’s trajectory in environmental humanities. Through an intersectoral secondment at NGO Agua Sustentable (Bolivia), the fellow will enable a knowledge transfer between historical research and environmental governance.
