Studies in Environmental Anthropology and Ethnobiology

General Editor: Roy Ellen, FBA

Professor of Anthropology, University of Kent at Canterbury

Interest in environmental anthropology has grown steadily in recent years, reflecting national and international concern about the environment and developing research priorities. This major new international series, which continues a series first published by Harwood and Routledge, is a vehicle for publishing up-to-date monographs and edited works on particular issues, themes, places or peoples which focus on the interrelationship between society, culture and environment. Relevant areas include human ecology, the perception and representation of the environment, ethnoecological knowledge, the human dimension of biodiversity conservation and the ethnography of environmental problems. While the underlying ethos of the series will be anthropological, the approach is interdisciplinary.

Editor's Preface

MIGUEL N. ALEXIADES

This book focuses on the relationship between mobility and migration and humanenvironment relations in indigenous and folk Amazonia. Most of the chapters are revised versions of papers presented at the International Society of Ethnobiology's Ninth International Congress, held at the University of Canterbury, Kent, UK, in June 2004. The motivation for putting together the panel named The Ethnobiology of Mobility, Displacement and Migration in Indigenous Lowland South America and subsequently for compiling this volume grew out of several interests and concerns. The first of these, echoing the broader theme of the Congress Ethnobiology, Social Change and Displacement recognises mobility and migration as highly relevant, both theoretically and in more applied contexts, for all of us interested in a better understanding of how human societies perceive, experience and structure their symbolic and material interactions with the environment in an increasingly articulated, changing and contingent world.

A second, more specific, motivation for collating these papers emerged from a personal sense that a disjuncture of sorts exists within the field of ethnobiology and ethnoecology in Amazonia and perhaps beyond. While human ecologists, ethnobotanists and Amazonianists in related fields have become increasingly sensitive to, and interested in, the historical contingency of nature and of humanenvironment interactions, and while there has been a simultaneous, generalised and growing interest in the processual aspects of ethnoecology, there remains a strong residual tendency, often implicit, to view these largely as the product of long-term historical emplacement and spatial stasis. Even when spatial stasis is not assumed, it is still not given the same level of attention as other historical processes.
