Resumen
APPROACHING THE ENVIRONMENTAL RATIONALE OF EXTRACTIVISM IN AN AFRO-DESCENDANT COMMUNITY FROM THE COLOMBIAN PACIFIC REGION. Luna Azul [online]. 2015, n.40, pp.154-169. ISSN 1909-2474. https://doi.org/10.17151/luaz.2015.40.11.
Since the use and transformation of the territory in the Colombian Pacific Region was conducted through a series of ancestral practices and rationales that have started changing since the late 20th century.by the use of participant observation, this article describes the extractive practices in the Community Council of San Marcos (Buenaventura, Colombia) at the beginning of the 21st century in order to present an approach to the associated environmental rationale that supports the actions. It is concluded that the market-oriented and the self-sufficiency orientation of extractive activities in San Marcos and the associated scale of intervention elucidate two environmental rationales in conflict: the predatory associated with the pressure of modern capitalism and the alternative associated to the Colombian Afro-descendent worldview and conception of nature.
