Practices – island/insularity as territory and condition
Image author: Salvador Freitas
What contingencies do populations face in an insular context? How can we identify and define what is particular among insular experiences of territory, identity, sociability, administration, among others?
This category seeks to meet what results from the relations between what is human and the island as a territory, as well as with insularity as a condition. As such, it seeks to contribute not only to the cataloguing of human practices, but also to their theorization, taking into account the peculiarities of the island phenomenon, in order to put into perspective the practicability and applicability of forms of knowledge in the context of island realities or similar.
In order to accommodate in a single reading mesology the various fields that identify the plethora of human experiences, the categories were divided into thematic arcs in the spectrums of which the forms, models and systems conceptualised in the entries fit.
