Essai cartographique de la production bibliographique en ethnobotanique au Brésil

Abstract

In Brazil, the number of researchers and PhD-level research fellows who mention ethnobotany as one of their keywords has increased from 500 to 2,200 in the past twelve years. While this disciplinary field remains confidential in France, it is booming in Brazil and mobilizes various fields; from naturalist disciplines to genetics, chemistry, law, sustainable development... in a landscape which is the object of many different methodological approaches. Where does this knowledge on plant-society relations in Brazil belong? What kinds of debates does it open? Who are the discipline's new stakeholders?
