Abstract

During my doctoral defense at the University of Eastern Finland on January 27th, 2023, I introduced my doctoral research with the present lectio praecursoria. This lectio delves into the plurality of experiences, values and knowledge interwoven in the development of community forestry in the Sierra Sur of Oaxaca, Mexico. In the last 40 years, Mexico has promoted community forestry as an alternative to forest management directed by the central government or private companies. As an alternative, community forestry is based on social justice and environmental sustainability principles, aiming for communities to use forests for social and economic development while conserving them. The research examines how forest communities have created their paths to achieve these objectives, like creating community forestry companies for wood and non-wood forest products. Based on ethnographic methods and documental analysis in the Sierra Sur of Oaxaca state, the research investigated the challenges, paradoxes and changes forest dwellers face when managing and working in their community forestry companies while conserving their forests. Furthermore, this study contributes to understanding how different environmental governing rationalities intersect when 1) socio-territorial conflicts arise, 2) women's access to productive labor is encouraged, and 3) the plural values of the forest are adapted. The lecture addresses one of the critical inquiries of this research: how various environmental governing rationalities intertwine in community forestry to shape and regulate people's behavior and interactions with forests.

预备课程:认识到墨西哥社区林业中交织的知识、价值和经验的多元性
2023年1月27日,我在东芬兰大学进行博士答辩时,用现在的《选集前导》介绍了我的博士研究。这次选举深入探讨了在墨西哥瓦哈卡州塞拉苏尔社区林业发展中交织在一起的多种经验、价值观和知识。在过去的40年里,墨西哥促进了社区林业,作为中央政府或私人公司指导的森林管理的替代方案。作为替代方案,社区林业以社会正义和环境可持续性原则为基础,旨在使社区在保护森林的同时利用森林促进社会和经济发展。该研究考察了森林社区如何创造实现这些目标的途径,例如创建社区林业公司生产木材和非木材林产品。基于民族志方法和对瓦哈卡州塞拉瑟尔的文献分析,该研究调查了森林居民在保护森林的同时管理和工作社区林业公司时所面临的挑战、矛盾和变化。此外,本研究有助于理解当1)社会-领土冲突出现时,2)鼓励妇女获得生产劳动,以及3)适应森林的多元价值时,不同的环境治理理性是如何交叉的。讲座讨论了本研究的关键问题之一:各种环境治理理性如何在社区林业中相互交织,以塑造和规范人们的行为以及与森林的互动。
