  • Topics and Issues in Ethnoentomology with Some Suggestions for the Development of Hypothesis-Generation and Testing in Ethnobiology
    J. Ethnobiol. 6(1):99-120 Summer 1986 TOPICS AND ISSUES IN ETHNOENTOMOLOGY WITH SOME SUGGESTIONS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF HYPOTHESIS-GENERATION AND TESTING IN ETHNOBIOLOGY DARRELL ADDISON POSEY Labotatbrio de Etnobiologia Departamento de Biologia Universidade Federal do Maranhao 65,000 Sao Luiz, Maranhao (Brazil) ABSTRACT.-This paper defines ethnoentornology, briefly traces the history of the field, surveys the literature in major subject areas and offers suggestions for continued research. Hypothesis-generation/testing is suggested as an important 1/ intellectual bridge" to a world science that builds upon knowledge systems of all human societies. Examples are presented. INTRODUCTION Definitions, even for ethnoentomology, are often difficult to formulate, and, once formulated, are usually unsatisfactory. Insight and understanding is sometimes increased through a comparison with a related term or concept, hence the juxtaposition of "cultural entomology" and "ethnoentomology" in the discussion that follows. Cultural entomology treats the influence of insects upon the "essence of humanity as expressed in the arts and humanities" (Hogue 1980). Cultural anthropologists usually restrict their studies to "advanced," industrialized, and literate societies, maintaining that entomological concerns of "primitive" or "noncivilized" societies are in the domain of ethnoentomology. They are principally interested in written forms of cultural expres­ sion and limit their studies to physically recorded sources of literate societies. It is well to note that

  • Intercultural Competence and Skills in the Biology Teachers Training from the Research Procedure of Ethnobiology
    Science Education International 30(4), 310-318 https://doi.org/10.33828/sei.v30.i4.8 ORIGINAL ARTICLE Intercultural Competence and Skills in the Biology Teachers Training from the Research Procedure of Ethnobiology Geilsa Costa Santos Baptista*, Geane Machado Araujo 1Department of Education, State University of Feira de Santana, Feira de Santana City, Bahia State, Brazil, 2Department of Biology, State University of Feira de Santana, Feira de Santana City, Bahia State, Brazil *Corresponding Author: [email protected] ABSTRACT We present and discuss the results of qualitative research based on a case study with biology undergraduate students from a public University of Bahia state, Brazil. The objective was to identify the influence of practical experiences involving ethnobiology applied to science teaching on intercultural dialogue into their initial training. To collect data, undergraduate students were asked to construct narratives revealing the influences of ethnobiology into their training as future teachers. Data were analyzed according to Bardin (1977) and supported by specific literature from the fields of science education and teaching. The thematic categories generated lead us to conclude that the undergraduates of biology teaching made reflections that allowed them to build opinions with meanings that should influence their pedagogical practices with intercultural dialogue. We recommend further studies involving ethnobiology and the training of biology teachers, with a larger sample of participants and the methodological and theoretical procedures of this science. Improvements could be made in biology teacher education curricula that encourage respect and consideration of cultural diversity. We highlight that it is imperative for teacher education courses to generate opportunities for on-site practical experience, in addition to the theory used in the classroom.

  • Hunting Shrines in the Guatemalan Highlands
    J Archaeol Method Theory (2008) 15:300–337 DOI 10.1007/s10816-008-9055-7 Negotiations with the Animate Forest: Hunting Shrines in the Guatemalan Highlands Linda A. Brown & Kitty F. Emery Published online: 10 October 2008 # Springer Science + Business Media, LLC 2008 Abstract Ethnoarchaeological research at highland Maya hunting shrines docu- ments the material remains of interactions between two types of animate beings: humans and the forest. When either active agent enters the others’ domain there are accompanying ceremonial activities to assuage the inherent danger, often leaving physical traces in the material record. These traces, if found in the archaeological record, might reveal similar ancient interactions. Using the material correlates of modern hunting rituals, we explore the utility of ethnoarchaeological research in identifying negotiations with non-human agents associated with the animate forest – an active agent in many societies. Keywords Maya . Ethnoarchaeology . Hunting ceremonialism . Zooarchaeology Introduction Ethnoarchaeology, the study of modern material remains as analogs for ancient activities, can provide valuable data for inferring agency from the archaeological record. This is particularly true in the case of animistic religious practices, where one or more actors are non-physical entities or material objects not afforded agency in our own culture but active participants in other societies. In the pursuit of evidence for interactions between human and non-human agents, the material remains of repeated ceremonial negotiations are valuable. As these negotiations often occur at the boundaries between agent realms, they physically mark important thresholds where human and non-human actors interact. L. A.

  • An Earthly Cosmology
    Forum on Religion and Ecology Indigenous Traditions and Ecology Annotated Bibliography Abram, David. Becoming Animal: An Earthly Cosmology. New York and Canada: Vintage Books, 2011. As the climate veers toward catastrophe, the innumerable losses cascading through the biosphere make vividly evident the need for a metamorphosis in our relation to the living land. For too long we’ve ignored the wild intelligence of our bodies, taking our primary truths from technologies that hold the living world at a distance. Abram’s writing subverts this distance, drawing readers ever closer to their animal senses in order to explore, from within, the elemental kinship between the human body and the breathing Earth. The shape-shifting of ravens, the erotic nature of gravity, the eloquence of thunder, the pleasures of being edible: all have their place in this book. --------. The Spell of the Sensuous: Perception and Language in a More-than-Human World. New York: Vintage, 1997. Abram argues that “we are human only in contact, and conviviality, with what is not human” (p. ix). He supports this premise with empirical information, sensorial experience, philosophical reflection, and the theoretical discipline of phenomenology and draws on Merleau-Ponty’s philosophy of perception as reciprocal exchange in order to illuminate the sensuous nature of language. Additionally, he explores how Western civilization has lost this perception and provides examples of cultures in which the “landscape of language” has not been forgotten. The environmental crisis is central to Abram’s purpose and despite his critique of the consequences of a written culture, he maintains the importance of literacy and encourages the release of its true potency.

  • Methodological Issues in Zooarchaeology
    Methodological Issues in Zooarchaeology Tanya M. Peres The main goal of zooarchaeology, as a specialty within archaeology, is to interpret human and environment interactions based primarily on the animal remains recov- ered from archaeological sites. This chapter is not meant to be a comprehensive text on zooarchaeology; rather it is a guide to some of the analytical methods and ter- minology that are used commonly by practitioners of zooarchaeology. While each researcher has her/his own way of analyzing and interpreting animal remains, some methods, terms, and analytical tools are considered standard. The purpose of this chapter is to give the reader an overview of basic methodological issues and appli- cations within zooarchaeology. I acknowledge that not all the faunal remains recov- ered from archaeological sites are related to subsistence activities; however, as the chapters included in this volume are centered on discerning subsistence behaviors through the integration of multiple datasets, I focus more on subsistence practices here. This chapter addresses taphonomic and recovery issues as well as sampling and analytical methods to enable the reader to understand the case studies included in this volume (for a similar treatment of paleoethnobotanical remains, see Wright, this volume). 1 Why Study Zooarchaeology? Animal remains can be used to inform us about a variety of issues in the study of societies, such as environment, seasonality, subsistence, hunting practices, political and social organization, settlement patterns, and resource-use. As a discipline, zoo- archaeology has grown exponentially over the past three decades to include special- ists working in dozens of countries on all aspects and time periods of human history (Hesse and Wapnish 1985).

  • Ethnoarchaeology
    UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA SYLLABUS ANT 4193/ANG 6185: ETHNOARCHAEOLOGY Professor Peter Schmidt Spring Semester 2014-15 Grinter 441 Dept. Anthropology Office hours: Tues 1-2:30 [email protected] by appt. Wed. afternoon, 4-5 This course examines the theoretical and methodological foundations as well as the practice of ethnoarchaeology. The course begins with an examination of the processes of reasoning used in ethnoarchaeological approaches, with a particularly emphasis on analogy and middle range “theory.” It then considers theoretical issues surrounding concepts of time, and finally takes up a variety of case studies that illustrate how ethnoarchaeology has been and is being employed for interpretative problem solving. A practical, pragmatic perspective will be employed during the second half of the course, when students will be engaged in field exercises that employ the principles of ethnoarchaeology. As archaeologists have come to realize their interpretative limitations, ethnoarchaeology has become an increasingly important part of the sub-discipline. Yet, one of the problems facing ethnoarchaeology has been its relative isolation from cultural theory in anthropology and it failure to grapple with methodological issues that have long faced ethnographers. This course will critically examine taken-for-granted assumptions about time that pervade the practice of ethnoarchaeology and explore some of the innovative approaches that depart from the mainstream archaeology.
