Ginouvès) \n21\, allée de l’Université\, Nanterre\, \, 92000\, 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 s Whitaker\n X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:
Based on recently completed fieldwork, this paper examines local perceptions and ontologies of climate change among the Makushi in Yupukari village in the Rupununi reg ion of Guyana. This year has seen unprecedented flooding of farms in Yupuka ri, which has severely disrupted cassava-based agriculture and is attribute d by many to climate change. In addition to flooding, villagers also speak of changes in temperature, unpredictable rainfall conditions, ecological al terations, and irregularities in the seasons. For many, traditional surviva l strategies based on past crises (mostly droughts) are seen as no longer f ully addressing climatic and ecological challenges in the present. This pap er will describe local accounts and experiences of these changing condition s and will examine their ontological underpinnings. For the Makushi, weathe r phenomena are centered around notions of ownership (involving broader lea dership) which implicate certain non-human beings. This paper will explore these notions and their contemporary relevance for climate change among the Makushi.
