Título: | When knowledge follows blood: Kin groups and the distribution of traditional ecological knowledge in a community of seminomadic pastoralists, Gujarat (India) |
Autor: | Salpeteur, M.; Patel, H.; Balbo, Andrea CSIC ORCID; Rubio Campillo, X.; Madella, Marco CSIC ORCID; Ajithprasad, P.; Reyes-García, Victoria | Fecha de publicación: | 6-abr-2015 | Editor: | University of Chicago Press | Citación: | Current Anthropology (56/3) : 471-483 (2015) | Resumen: | Understanding the patterns and processes underlying the heterogeneous distribution of traditional ecological knowledge (TEK) across communities of natural resource users is a growing research topic. However, social organization as a factor potentially shaping TEK intracultural distribution has received scant attention. Here, we analyze the role played by kinship groups—namely, patrilineal lineages and segments—in shaping bodies of TEK among a group of seminomadic pastoralists in India. We use two quantitative approaches (score based and similarity based) to analyze variations in four TEK domains: soils, ethnoveterinary, breeds, and ethnobotany. We find that kinship groups share divergent bodies of knowledge, a finding that we interpret in light of the social organization of migration, in which kinship provides a privileged basis that structures migratory groups and, as such, favors the constitution of shared bodies of knowledge. We conclude by advocating for a better inclusion of the organizational features that structure the collective life of local communities in research aiming at understanding TEK dynamics. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10261/122266 | DOI: | 10.1086/681006 | ISSN: | 0011-3204 | E-ISSN: | 1537-5382 |
