Son of tiger and land of ferns

Abstract

This article is the result of a doctoral dissertation in Education and Environmental Culture, entitled “Social Representations of Environmental Culture in the Peasant Reserve Zone of the Pato River Basin and Balsillas Valley, Caquetá, Colombia.” The central objective is to understand the senses and meanings that emerge in the everyday narratives of peasants regarding environmental culture. To achieve this objective, the methodology applied was narrativeinterpretive, resulting in two narratives about the daily lives of peasants in their interaction with the environment. Finally, the texts were related and analyzed around the core of daily practices in rural areas. The research concludes with openended conclusions that highlight the fluidity of rural subjects in the face of daily life events, that is, their capacity to adapt to their context.
