The concepts of territory, territoriality and place were the theoretical reference to understand the relationship that exists between society, environment and culture and its connection to sustainability in its several dimensions. The research is characterized as quali-quantitative, using both quantitative and qualitative data (triangulation). This is because in studies on socioenvironmental issues, especially when the subject-environment relationship is involved, the joining of distinct areas of knowledge is necessary as, therefore, is the use of different methods that allow for a more wide-ranging comprehension of the reality. Data collection techniques used include a survey given via forms, participant observation, individual and collective (focus group) interviews with tabulation and processing done using statistical programs (SPSS and Excel), for the quantitative data and discourse analysis for qualitative data. Data was presented using tables, charts, graphs, maps and dense description of the analytical-reflexive character resulting from participant observation and interviews. It is through agriculture and fishing that traditional knowledge is passed on, where the land and the water become the locus of the reproduction of the life of the families living along the riverbanks of Zé Açu. Likewise, religious rites and folkloric festivals help to maintain their social, cultural and territorial structure. The main environmental problems in the area of study are: lake aggradation, deforestation for livestock farming, mining and increased production of solid waste that is improperly discarded. Environmental agencies and research institutes have little presence in order to avoid/mitigate these problems that already affect the ways of life of the people dwelling along the rivers. The main community of Zé Açu, Bom Socorro, has been found to be undergoing a process of changes to its spatial and socio-cultural structure; however, these changes, which occur in rural areas, are inherent to the arrival of aspects of modern life that bring contact with other references closer. This does in fact result in transformations; nevertheless, it does not mean the end of certain ways of life, but rather that they take on new meanings, now based on other values and social practices that will always be dynamic. The understanding of the relationship of the territory with culture as presented here can help in reflections on the strategies used by these groups to better control and order their territories, as well as in conserving natural resources so as to guarantee the balance between the ecosystems and the subjects that use them, thus maintaining the habitus and environmental ethos of the riverbank dwellers of Zé Açu. After all, this is the basic presupposition of sustainability in its social, economic, cultural and environmental dimension. / Este trabalho buscou compreender as territorialidades rurais no município de Parintins e sua relação com a sustentabilidade socioambiental, a partir da análise do processo de circularidade da cultura, habitus e o ethos ambiental no Zé Açu. Os conceitos de território, territorialidade e lugar foram referência teórica para entender a relação existente entre sociedade, ambiente e cultura e sua ligação com a sustentabilidade em suas várias dimensões. A pesquisa caracteriza-se como quali-quantitativa utilizando tanto dados quantitativos como qualitativos (triangulação). Como técnicas para coleta de dados realizou-se um survey com aplicação de formulários, observação participante, entrevistas individuais e coletivas (grupo focal) com tabulação e processamento sendo feito com programas estatísticos (SPSS e Excel), para os dados quantitativos e a análise de discurso para os qualitativos. É por meio da agricultura e da pesca que são repassados os conhecimentos tradicionais, onde a terra e a água tornam-se o lócus da reprodução da vida das famílias ribeirinhas do Zé Açu. Assim como, os ritos religiosos e as festas folclóricas ajudam a manter a sua estrutura social, cultural e territorial. Os principais problemas ambientais na área de estudo são: o assoreamento do lago, desmatamento para a pecuária, extração mineral e o aumento na produção de resíduos sólidos com destinação inadequada. Há pouca presença de órgãos ambientais e institutos de pesquisa para que se possam evitar/mitigar esses problemas que já afetam o modos de vida dos ribeirinhos. Constatou-se que a principal comunidade do Zé Açu, Bom Socorro, está passando por um processo de mudanças em sua estrutura espacial e sociocultural, porém, essas mudanças que ocorrem em áreas rurais são inerentes a chegada de aspectos da vida moderna que estreita o contato com outras referências, ocasionando, transformações. Porém, não significa ser o fim de determinados modos de vida, mais sim, sua ressignificação, agora pautada por outros valores e práticas sociais que serão sempre dinâmicas. A compreensão da relação do território com a cultura, aqui apresentada pode auxiliar nas reflexões sobre as estratégias utilizadas por esses grupos para ordenar e controlar melhor seus territórios, assim como, na conservação dos recursos naturais de forma a garantir o equilíbrio entre os ecossistemas e os sujeitos que os utilizam, mantendo assim, o habitus e o ethos ambiental dos ribeirinhos do Zé Açu, pois, esse é o pressuposto básico da sustentabilidade em sua dimensão social, econômica, cultural e ambiental.

The quest for some understanding on this complexity makes it possible to widen knowledge upon these two facts, stimulating the discussion about a proposition that one will be able to establish healthier and less aggressive ways of living as far as environmental issues are concerned based on environmental-related conceptions and their effects upon the environment .Therefore, it all starting out from a conception that environmental commitment demands engagement, be it in the production of such knowledge or in the rational use of the natural resources. That information is relatively available does not mean that people in general may feel compelled to making use of it or applying it. It is understood that the problem behind environmental issues is complex and interdependent on the social problematic issues arising from population growth, poor income division, allocation of people in big city centers being the spaces smaller and smaller and social inequity larger and larger each day. The various technical-scientific transformations have triggered ecological unbalances and a progressive deterioration on both single and collective ways of living. These changes and the population growth have led to changes in the way people feel or perceive reality. The objective of this study was to analyze people´s environmental forms of commitment at moments of vulnerability and, how these constitute the socio environmental ethos of this population. The issues on vulnerability to which the poorer classes are exposed have represented a challenge in the search for strategies after risk reduction and applicable ways that people can actively develop. The methodological strategy adopted was of a filed research of the descriptive exploratory qualitative type, carried out in an urbanized city zone in the vicinities of the Ouro Verde residential area, Coroado III, Zona Leste in Manaus. The environment is muddy, located in a flooding area and several water streams run across it and wind up in a creek that gets polluted with tossed waste and trash, causing major environmental problems and bringing about a great deal of difficulty to the dwellers. The techniques for the collection of information were the participative observation and semistructured interview, being Content the method of the analysis. A set of ethical phenomena was identified in the current study in order to justify the proposed commitment and three categories emerged from the socio-environmental reality were named after active passivity ; supportive passivity and controlled passivity , which, after all constitute the socioenvironmental ethos built by this population and browses through the environmental-related issues, their understanding and engagement. The questions arisen do not only contribute to the discussion of these people´s engagement to sharing the possibilities of facing their own problematic, but also to giving greater visibility on this process so there can be more effective and efficient interventions. / A complexidade da relação pessoa-ambiente tem produzido inquietação e busca de estratégias para minimizar ou evitar o impacto negativo da ação humana sobre o meio. A busca de entendimento desta complexidade possibilita ampliar o conhecimento sobre estes dois aspectos, estimulando a discussão de uma proposta, onde a partir da compreensão das concepções sobre o meio e dos efeitos sobre ele é possível estabelecer modos de vida mais saudáveis e menos agressivos em termos ambientais. Portanto, partiu-se de uma concepção de que o compromisso ambiental exige envolvimento, seja na produção do conhecimento ou no uso racional dos recursos naturais. O fato das informações estarem relativamente disponíveis não significa que as pessoas em geral se sintam comprometidas em sua apropriação e aplicação. Entende-se que a problemática ambiental é complexa e interdependente da problemática social decorrente do crescimento populacional, má distribuição de renda, alocação das populações em grandes cidades - com espaços cada vez mais restritos, e do alargamento das desigualdades. As diversas transformações técnico-científicas ocasionaram desequilíbrios ecológicos e progressiva deterioração nos modos de existência individuais e coletivas. Essas mudanças e o crescimento demográfico levaram a transformações no modo de viver e perceber a realidade. O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar as formas de compromisso ambiental de pessoas em situação de vulnerabilidade e como estas constituem o ethos socioambiental dessa população. As questões de vulnerabilidade a que estão expostas especialmente as populações menos favorecidas têm representado um desafio na busca das estratégias para diminuição dos riscos e envolvimento para uma participação mais ativa das pessoas no estabelecimento de meios para a sua aplicabilidade. A estratégia metodológica adotada foi de pesquisa de campo do tipo qualitativa exploratória descritiva, que foi desenvolvida em uma ocupação urbana localizada nas adjacências do conjunto Ouro Verde, Bairro Coroado III, Zona Leste na cidade de Manaus. O ambiente é alagadiço, situado em área de charco e entrecortado por vários córregos que deságuam no igarapé onde são jogados os dejetos e o lixo, causando problemas ambientais importantes e trazendo inúmeras dificuldades aos moradores. As técnicas para a coleta de informações foram a observação participante e entrevista semi-estruturada, sendo que o método de análise foi o de conteúdo. Foram identificados neste estudo um conjunto de fenômenos éticos para explicar o compromisso e propusemos três categorias que emergiram da realidade socioambiental que foram denominadas passividade ativa ; passividade suportiva e passividade cerceada que por fim constituem o ethos socioambiental construído por esta população e perpassa o seu entendimento e envolvimento com as questões mbientais. O levantamento dessas questões contribui não apenas com a discussão acerca do envolvimento das pessoas compartilhando possibilidades de enfrentamento das problemáticas vividas por elas, mas também dar maior visibilidade desse processo para intervenções mais eficazes e eficientes.

The following study is interested in Dorothy Wordsworth's formation of her unique authorial identity and environmental ethos. I attend to her poetry and prose, specifically her journals written at Grasmere and her Recollections of a Tour Made in Scotland (1874) to demonstrate how she shaped her individual voice while navigating her occasionally conflicting roles of sister and writer. My project begins with a chapter providing a selective biographical and critical history of Dorothy Wordsworth and details how my work emerges from current trends in scholarship and continues an ongoing critical conversation about Dorothy Wordsworth's agency and originality. In my analysis of Dorothy's distinct poetic voice, I compare selections of her writing with William's to demonstrate how Dorothy expressed her perspectives regarding nature, community, and her place within her environment. In my chapter on Recollections of a Tour Made in Scotland, I analyze the ways in which Dorothy's narrative embraces the tenets of the picturesque while simultaneously acknowledging the tradition's limitations. Her environmental perspective was inherently rooted in domesticity; the idea of home and her community connections influenced how she engaged with and then recorded the environments she traveled to and the people she met. My project concludes by demonstrating how Dorothy Wordsworth's environmental ethos relates to the values promoted by modern environmental writers. Dorothy was intimately connected to her home and environment and modern environmental protection and conservation efforts encourage human connection to home and place. I consider how modern environmentalist movements could benefit from embodying the empathy that Dorothy showed for the natural world in their practices today. / Master of Arts / My thesis argues that while Dorothy Wordsworth was intrinsically involved in her brother William's poetic process, she actively created a unique writerly identity that can be detected throughout her journals and poems. My project begins with a chapter detailing how my work emerges from current trends in Dorothy Wordsworth scholarship, including feminist and ecocritical studies. In my analysis of Dorothy's individual poetic voice, I suggest that through her distinctive style and her mingling of poetry and prose, Dorothy was strongly asserting herself and her perspectives even when they conflicted with William's. Dorothy's Recollections of a Tour Made in Scotland exemplifies her unique environmental perspective, which was influenced by her community-centered identity; this contributes to what she chooses to recollect in her journal. My project concludes by demonstrating how Dorothy Wordsworth's environmental ethos relates to the values promoted by modern environmental writers. Dorothy was intimately connected to her home and environment and modern environmental protection and conservation efforts encourage human connection to home and place. I consider how modern environmentalist movements could benefit from embodying the empathy that Dorothy showed for the natural world in their practices today.
