Conocimientos Etnoecológicos, Diálogo de Saberes y Violencia Epistémica
(2014) Frank Gustavo Tovar Zerpa; R Anderson Jaimes
This paper addresses the topic of epistemic violence in order to identify their origins, shapes, operating mechanisms and their link with the Modernity project. Similarly, in the context of coloniality of nature, considers the intercultural dialogue of knowledge as an opportunity to build an epistemology of the South, with and based on biocultural memory. Finally, the emphasis is placed on a pemon narrative to interpret the cultural collective processes of historical, social and cultural construction of indigenous territories, particularly territoriality as a category of analysis, to identify an example of epistemicide that dismantled a territorial and cultural system, by physical intervention by the State territory under the concept of agrarian reform.
Diálogos de saberes, sabiduría ecológica originaria y desarrolo rural
(2011) Frank Gustavo Tovar Zerpa; José Jesús Rojas López
La interculturalidad ha sido privilegiada en la Constitucion de la Republica Bolivariana de Venezuela, como precepto fundamental de reconocimiento de la otredad. Por ello se hace necesario conocer y valorar los conocimientos ecologicos y las especificidades linguisticas, sociales, territoriales y culturales, que durante milenios han desarrollado las culturas indigenas para establecer una relacion armoniosa y duradera con la naturaleza. En esta contribucion se presenta el diseno metodologico de una valoracion intercultural de la sabiduria ecologica, referenciado en un proyecto de desarrollo rural comunitario Pemon Taurepan de la Guayana venezolana.
Rescate de los saberes indígenas. Una propuesta metodológica de desarrollo rural alternativo en Waramasen, Venezuela
(2009) Frank Gustavo Tovar Zerpa; José Jesús Rojas López; Omar Enrique González Ñáñez
This paper argues that the knowledge of indigenous people should be incorporated into the rural development strategies of the State so the ecological and cultural impact of the newest agricultural systems is minimized or avoided, and the preservation of the indigenous ecosystems and cultures is guaranteed. This paper describes a methodological proposal for the formulation of a plan of alternative rural development in the Waramasen community. The plan includes three participatory stages: territorial diagnosis, collective balance and feasible strategies, which tend to rescue the values and knowledge of the Pemon people from Waramasen, Alto Caroni, Venezuela.
Valoración Intercultural del territorio indígena de waramasen, Alto Caroní del estado Bolívar
(2010) Frank Gustavo Tovar Zerpa; José Jesús Rojas López
The overwhelming strength of globalization and the crisis of conventional models of interpreting the rural world bring the hermeneutics approach to the study of rural territories, particularly to the indigenous systems, where cultural and symbolic scopes are more evident closer together. This context serves as a theoretical reference for practicing an ethnological lecture of the Waramasen indigenous territory, supported in a participatory territorial diagnosis and a knowledge dialogue. An interpretation of the value that depicts territoriality in the framework of the material existence and the cultural identity of the Pemon people on the sourthern border of Venezuela is attempted.
