A REFLECTION ON CULTURAL DIVERSITY AND KNOWLEDGE OF THE ENVIRONMENT

Abstract

From the tradition of linguistic anthropology, the ideas of cultural diversity and the principle of linguistic relativity are taken up. In addition to highlighting the central authors who contributed to the study of language and its relationship with culture and thought, the approaches that emerged in the middle of the last century such as cognitive anthropology, ethnoscience and speech ethnography are taken up again. From a theoretical and methodological reflection, the importance of retaking the transdisciplinary perspective that integrates the analysis of cultural diversity, linguistic diversity and biodiversity is raised. Take into account the interaction of man with the environment that is essential for understanding collective memory and community knowledge.Desde la tradición de la antropología lingüística se retoman las ideas de la diversidad cultural y el principio de la relatividad lingüística. Además de destacar a los autores centrales que aportaron para el estudio del lenguaje y su relación con la cultura y el pensamiento, se retoman los enfoques que surgieron a mediados del siglo pasado como la antropología cognitiva, la etnociencia y la etnografía del habla. Desde una reflexión teórica y metodológica se plantea la importancia de retomar la perspectiva complejo-transdiciplinaria que integre el análisis de la diversidad cultural, la diversidad lingüística y la biodiversidad. Tomar en cuenta la interacción del hombre con el medio ambiente que resulta fundamental para comprender de la memoria colectiva y los saberes comunitarios
