Políticas da paisagem: questões e sujeitos para uma compreensão da emergência climática no Brasil

Abstract

This master thesis departs from an awareness of the researcher regarding the climate question and seeks to approach the issue through an approximation of the Environmental Studies and his field of research, Conservation and Restoration. To achieve that, the researcher mobilizes the decolonial ecology project, elaborated by writer Malcom Ferdinand, as a way to access Latin american and Caribean environmental history, complementing the author discourse with brazilian socio-environmental history. Articulating diverse concepts linked to the decolonial ecology with spatial categories (mainly territory, landscape and city), the researcher builds a promenade that opens a possibility to understand spatially brazilian climate emergency. This theoretical foundation allows an immersion in our case study: the socio-environmental conflicts in Serra do Curral, Belo Horizonte, specially the minerary ones. Those conflicts are approached through a construction of a cartography of controversies, mainly with Aglomerado da Serra dwellers, favela near Serra do Curral that can be affected by minerary impacts. Through this methodology, we expected to establish a relation between decolonial ecology, cultural heritage (represented by the category of cultural landscape) and climate emergency.
