ANTH 110 PZ - Nature and Society in Amazonia


The course investigates the relations between humans and the environment, focusing on the interplay of social and natural Amazonian worlds in material, political, cultural and economic terms. The course has ethnographic and historical components: we will study different Amazonian groups and the ways their lives connect to the forest and its beings. We will consider the history of the human presence and the colonization of the Amazon to tease out the different roles that the region has played in the political-economy and the imaginary of Western societies.

Instructor: L. Martins
