BACKGROUND As a leading practice of Homo sapiens' environmental experience for hundreds of millennia, hunting continues to evoke key research inquiries in the fields of archaeology, human ecology, and conservation biology. Broadly speaking, hunting has been mainly a subject of qualitative-symbolic and quantitative-materialistic schemata of analyze, among anthropologists and biologists, respectively. However, the phenomenological dimension of the hunting experience, in the course of individuals` everyday life, received little academic attention until this century. This study analyzes the daily praxis of hunting among quilombolas (descendants from runaway African slaves) in Southeast Brazil, making use of an ethnographic approach of phenomenological orientation, which dialogue with central ethnobiological issues. The authors also report the local ecological knowledge about mammals hunted in the area, and its relationship to the scientific literature on this subject. METHODS Between 2016 and 2019, the authors made use of participant observation and informal interviews among eight key local participants, in three quilombola communities in the Ribeira Valley (São Paulo, Brazil). Fragments of authors' field notes and parts of interviewers' speeches make up the core results obtained. RESULTS Articulating local knowledge to scientific literature, this study yielded a hybrid and comprehensive narrative about natural history of the mammals in the area. The authors also accessed elementary aspects of research participants' experience in hunting, such as strategies, tactics, motivations, and feelings. They reveal a set of human behavior dispositions that seems to emerge only in the context of the action, modulating the praxis of hunting on the course of individuals' everyday life. CONCLUSION Ethnography, ethnobiology, and natural sciences backgrounds were systematically articulated in this research. This made possible to get a contextualized and multifaceted understanding of hunting praxis in the Ribeira Valley, an important socioenvironmental context of Atlantic Forest in Brazil. The role of an ethnographic approach applied to ethnoecological and biological conservation issues is especially considered here.

人种学,民族生物学和自然历史:关于巴西东南部基隆比拉群岛中哺乳动物狩猎和生态的叙述。

背景技术作为人类数百年来在环境方面的经验的领先实践,狩猎继续引起考古学,人类生态学和保护生物学领域的关键研究询问。从广义上讲,在人类学家和生物学家中,狩猎分别是定性,象征性和定量唯物主义分析模式的主题。但是,在个人的日常生活过程中,狩猎经历的现象学层面在本世纪之前很少受到学术关注。这项研究利用一种现象学取向的人种学方法,与中心的民族生物学问题进行了对话,分析了巴西东南部基隆博拉斯(非洲逃亡奴隶的后裔)的日常狩猎活动。作者还报告了有关在该地区狩猎的哺乳动物的当地生态知识,以及与该主题的科学文献的关系。方法在2016年至2019年之间,作者利用了参与者观察和对Ribeira谷地(巴西圣保罗)的三个基隆博拉社区中八个主要本地参与者的非正式访谈。作者的田野笔记的片段和采访者的演讲的一部分构成了获得的核心结果。结果本研究将当地知识与科学文献相结合,得出了关于该地区哺乳动物自然历史的混合而全面的叙述。作者还访问了研究参与者的狩猎经验的基本方面,例如策略,战术,动机和感受。他们揭示了一系列人类行为倾向,似乎仅在行动的背景下才会出现,从而调节了个人日常生活过程中的狩猎行为。结论本研究系统地阐明了人种学,民族生物学和自然科学的背景。这使得人们可以对里贝拉谷地的狩猎实践有一个多方面的了解,这是巴西大西洋森林的重要社会环境背景。这里特别考虑了人种学方法在人类生态学和生物保护问题上的作用。本研究系统地阐述了自然科学背景。这使得人们可以对里贝拉山谷的狩猎实践有一个多方面的理解,这是巴西大西洋森林的重要社会环境背景。这里特别考虑了人种学方法在人类生态学和生物保护问题上的作用。本研究系统地阐述了自然科学背景。这使得人们可以对里贝拉山谷的狩猎实践有一个多方面的理解,这是巴西大西洋森林的重要社会环境背景。这里特别考虑了人种学方法在人类生态学和生物保护问题上的作用。
