Description
The teaching of this module is an introduction to ethnobotany and ethnoecology in order to understand the material and immaterial dimensions of the relationships between humans and their environment, with a particular focus on the plant world. We will be particularly interested in local systems of nomenclature and classification, perceptions and representations of nature, uses and management practices of resources, biocultural, ecological and evolutionary interactions. Ethnobotany and ethnoecology are disciplines at the interface of anthropology, botany and ecology, which can also borrow tools and concepts from linguistics, archaeology, geography and agronomy. This module complements the "Ethnoecology and Sustainable Development" module (Master 2) by providing the theoretical and methodological bases of ethnobotany.
Objectives
Understand the diversity of issues related to the study of interactions between human societies and nature, i.e. biocultural interactions.
Knowledge control
Build a research approach in ethnoecology (question, hypotheses, methods).
