“…This suggests avenues for future comparative research within Brazil and more widely throughout the Iberian sphere. More generally, the inclusion of explicitly comparative, historical methods might contribute to ethnobiology’s growing interface with historical approaches in ethnobiology [ 121 , 122 ].…”

Background Drawing on Phillipe Descola’s comparative analysis of ontological regimes across cultures, this article identifies analogism guiding ethnobiological repertories among two distinctive traditional tropical forest communities in Brazil. Methods We carried out participant observation, semi-structured interviews and informal dialog with 48 individuals, among quilombolas of the Atlantic Forest in southeastern Brazil and ribeirinhos of the Amazon. Results We documented 60 traditional practices governed by analogical principles, comprising hunting, ethnomedical practices, food taboos, and other interactions with non-human entities. We also identify and classify the analogical principles reported in the field data. Based on this classification, we address the phenomenological dimension of the ethnobiological repertoires and discuss the epistemological and ontological foundations of this form of reasoning. We also hypothesize on the role of analogism shaping ethnobiological repertories more generally in Brazil. Conclusion The heuristic model we apply—articulating phenomenology, epistemology and ontology—could prove valuable in ethnobiology and the emerging field of “anthropology beyond the human.”

“…O Complexo é composto por 22 setores (CARVALHO, 2011), que incluem as áreas de estudo desta pesquisa: duas feiras (Feira do Ver-o-Peso e Feira do Açaí), dois mercados (Mercado de Peixe e Mercado de Carne) e uma doca de embarcações (Doca do Ver-o-Peso) (Figura 1). Em seu comércio, circulam os mais variados produtos como frutas, peixes, artesanatos, ervas e medicamentos naturais (CARVALHO, 2011;POMBO GEERTSMA, 2019;RODRÍGUEZ et al, 2020). Os comerciantes locais começam a labuta desde cedo, com destaque para os vendedores de hortaliças, peixes e frutos do mar, tendo em vista que a demanda pelos consumidores destes produtos inicia horas antes do alvorecer .…”

A quantidade de mercados e feiras livres no município de Belém/PA vem se multiplicando de forma considerável. Estas possuem uma dinâmica de formação e funcionamento bastante particular, apresentando, muita das vezes, péssimas condições de trabalho com pouca ou nenhuma higiene e segurança. O objetivo da pesquisa foi a identificação dos agentes de risco nas atividades desenvolvidas por trabalhadores do Complexo do Ver-o-Peso, Belém/PA, através da técnica de Análise Preliminar de Riscos. Foi realizada revisão bibliográfica e visitas in loco durante o mês de outubro de 2020. No total, foram identificados 27 potenciais perigos associados a diferentes atividades desenvolvidas pelos trabalhadores. Tais perigos estão relacionados aos agentes de riscos físicos, químicos, biológicos, ergonômicos e mecânicos ou de acidentes. A origem dos riscos encontrados advém de distintos elementos do processo de trabalho como: materiais, equipamentos, conforto acústico e térmico, instalações e iluminação. O risco biológico apresentou-se como maior potencial de risco para os trabalhadores locais. Os riscos físicos, químicos e a maior parte dos agentes ergonômicos e mecânicos ou de acidentes apresentam potencial de risco moderado. Revelou-se a necessidade da ação do poder público voltado ao treinamento e capacitação dos profissionais, além de melhorias na estrutura física do complexo.

“…In this sense, the project pays particular attention to the botanical and zoological knowledge that can be found in the book HNB and other textual and visual materials created (allegedly) by the Dutch scientists and artists in Brazil. So far, the project has been able to unpack the botanical contributions of the HNB, identifying the useful plants and their Tupi names and uses (Alcantara‐Rodriguez et al., 2019) as well as presenting a comparison between plant species and their uses in the seventeenth‐century HNB and contemporary Brazilian markets (Alcantara‐Rodriguez et al., 2020). For the purposes of the Amazonia collaborative exhibition, these results show that, with regard to useful plants, the HNB is far more representative for the entire country – including plant species native to the Amazonian biome – than one might expect, suggesting that Indigenous migrations from Amazonia to the Brazilian northeast included the successful transplantation of the particular plant species identified in the HNB.…”

This paper describes and expands on the discussions held at a symposium at the Research Center for Material Culture in the Netherlands in February 2020, which was held as part of the planning of an upcoming “Amazonia” exhibition to be curated at that institution by some of the authors. The symposium invited curators and museum directors who had recently carried out projects with Amazonian communities to share their experiences with co‐production and co‐curation. The discussion and this paper aim to be a reflexive critical first step before reaching out to potential partners in South America. This paper supplements discussions on participative museology by examining the underlying frameworks of an exhibition project at its outset, in addition to contributing, as happens more commonly, post‐rationalizations in a final written evaluation. The discussion furthermore contributes to exhibition co‐curation by focusing on Amazonian‐European collaborations, which are under‐represented in Anglophone museological literature.
