| dc.description | Despite high temperatures and rainfall variability, a constant supply of water from the Andes
highlands and adaptive and strategic schemes of long-term traditional knowledge, have allowed
Atacameño (Lickanantai) people to settle in the Salar de Atacama for thousands of years.
Nevertheless, in the last decades, some relevant biophysical and social changes have been
reshaping the particular socio-ecological setting where these water societies have built their
identity. From a political ecological perspective, understanding changing conditions from both
global and local social constructions of the natural world becomes particularly relevant to
analyse current processes of adaptation in a region where encounters between different
modalities of knowledge systems and practices are occurring. In this sense, I argue that local
representations around climate variability are far more complex than ‘the global change
discourse' claims because they are interwoven with the social-cultural conditions where nature
is constructed. At the same time, I suggest that culturally-acquired livelihood strategies applied
to adapt to an unpredictable and variable environment such as that of the Atacama Desert
remain crucial, not only for the continuity of Lickanantai cohesion and identity but also for the
sustainability of the socioecological system on which they depend. | |
