A Unesco e o projeto de criação de um laboratório científico internacional na Amazônia

Abstract: ESTE ARTIGO tem por objetivo analisar o debate em torno da proposta de criação do Instituto Internacional da Hiléia Amazônia (IIHA), patrocinada pela Organização das Nações Unidas para a Educação, Ciência e Cultura (Unesco) e, particularmente, as formas de recepção e apropriação do plano tanto nos fóruns da agência intergovernamental quanto em solo brasileiro. Esse processo contempla continuidades e rupturas. Não obstante os projetos do IIHA e do Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas da Amazônia (Inpa) guardarem sem… Show more

“…as well as the Indian Protection Service (SPI), which had created the Indian Museum in 1953 as part of the campaign to combat racism promoted by UNESCO in the post-war period, the first Advanced Training Course in Cultural Anthropology was set up under the coordination of Darcy Ribeiro, implemented in 1955-56. UNESCO's initiative was fundamental and much broader in terms of the research on race relations in Brazil (Maio, 1997;Maio 2001;Maio 2005;Pereira & Sansone, 2007), reflecting its mandate to combat racism and overcome the legacy of colonialisms. The same applied to research on indigenous issues, given that under its auspices Darcy Ribeiro was able to develop nationwide studies using material available in the SPI to which he had privileged access (Mattos, 2007).…”

“…The IIHA was supposed to become the world's leading platform for tropical research. For UNESCO, the goals of the IIHA were to organize international scientific research on the challenge of tropical life while at the same time respond to the pressing international demand for natural resources that stemmed from the reconstruction effort (Domingues; Petitjean, 2004;Maio, 2005). In April 1948, the FAO organized the Latin American Conference on Forestry and Forest Products in Teresópolis to explore ways to create a productive forest industry and overcome the timber shortage affecting war-torn European countries.…”

“…Tais circunstâncias conferiram visibilidade social e poder político a esses grupos para negociar com a UNESCO a agenda que lhes interessava. Alguns dos projetos propostos na capital federal, entre 1946 e 1960, evidenciam esse protagonismo: construção de instituto para pesquisa em ciências naturais, o Instituto Internacional da Hiléia Amazônica (Domingues e Petitjean, 2004;Maio, 2005); apoio à pesquisa matemática por meio do financiamento ao primeiro periódico da área editado no Brasil -"Summa Brasiliensis Mathematicae"; incentivo aos estudos do folclore brasileiro nas escolas, com a criação da Comissão Nacional de Folclore; iniciativas no campo da educação popular mediante publicações, conferências e estudos sobre analfabetismo; incentivo à criação de centros para ensino e pesquisa em ciências sociais; apoio à pesquisa em física e em zonas áridas (ecologia, hidrologia, energia etc. ); implementação de políticas públicas para o desenvolvimento da ciência e tecnologia, destacando-se a proposição de um conselho nacional de pesquisas (concretizado no CNPq em 1951) e de uma sociedade para o progresso da ciência (materializada na SBPC em 1948) (Abrantes, 2008, p. 71-114).…”
