Apprendre à percevoir la nature

Environmental anthropology, from which I situate this work, is connected to ecophenomenology in its aim to move beyond anthropocen­trism by questioning the grounding of human–nature relations in a naturalist ontology. Phenomenology, understood as a praxis of critical reflection, appears to contribute to the evolution of human ontologies: it offers the possibility of profoundly transforming modes of being human by enabling a decentring of consciousness. This work focuses on a psycho-corporeal practice as phenome­nology in action, used to challenge ontological constructs concerning nature in agricultural contexts. Could such a practice constitute a phenomenological activation capable of transforming the relationship between professionals and the world? If so, it may lead us to question the connections between ways of inhabiting the world and ways of practising agriculture.
