SUMMARY:Ontologies of Climate Change and Leadership among the Makushi, James Andrew Whitaker (CNRS, LEEISA)
LOCATION:Lesc – salle 308F (3e étage) - 21\, allée de l’Université\, Nanterre\, \, 9
 2000\, France
DESCRIPTION:Based on recently completed fieldwork, this paper examines local perception
 s and ontologies of climate change among the Makushi in Yupukari village in
  the Rupununi region of Guyana. This year has seen unprecedented flooding o
 f farms in Yupukari, which has severely disrupted cassava-based agriculture
  and is attributed by many to climate change. In addition to flooding, vill
 agers also speak of changes in temperature, unpredictable rainfall conditio
 ns, ecological alterations, and irregularities in the seasons. For many, tr
 aditional survival strategies based on past crises (mostly droughts) are se
 en as no longer fully addressing climatic and ecological challenges in the 
 present. This paper will describe local accounts and experiences of these c
 hanging conditions and will examine their ontological underpinnings. For th
 e Makushi, weather phenomena are centered around notions of ownership (invo
 lving broader leadership) which implicate certain non-human beings. This pa
 per will explore these notions and their contemporary relevance for climate
  change among the Makushi.\nIllustration : Yupukari Village, Guyana. © Jame
