Description
Summary:This article analyses the daily life of populations struggling against constitutive contradictions of the sustainable development notion, which create tension between environmental “sustainability” and social “sustainability”. An anthropological approach – focused on concrete strategies implemented by small family farmers of the Guaraqueçaba region to go on living in hope of a better future in a context in which they feel they don’t fit in anymore – reveals that they are considerably led to clandestinity, a necessary situation for their survival. The study shows the disconnection between two visions of sustainable development : on the one hand the local population who considers that their sustainability is linked to their subsistence, and on the other hand, the institutions that enforce the legislation giving priority to the environmental preservation.
