O nervo alveolar inferior (Nai), o mais espesso ramo do nervo mandibular (V par craniano), está funcionalmente relacionado à inervação da mandíbula e dentes inferiores, além de parte dos tecidos moles circunjacentes. Seu estudo morfológico, sobretudo em mandíbulas adultas, foi sistematicamente realizado, contudo, sem ainda haver um consenso definitivo para o seu padrão de ramificação. Desse modo, considerando-se a importância em se demonstrar um modelo de constituição básica para o Nai, realizou-se o presente estudo em fetos humanos da 19ª a 36ª semana de vida intrauterina. Foram utilizados 86 hemimandíbulas, de ambos os sexos, em que se avaliou o padrão morfológico intraósseo do Nai e de seus ramos, seus envoltórios conjuntivos e suas relações com as estruturas vasculares, utilizando-se de microdissecção e microscopia eletrônica de varredura (MEV). Relativamente ao padrão morfológico do segmento intramandibular do Nai, foram propostos 4 tipos de ramificação: Tipo I (16%), onde o Nai emite 3 ramos principais, os nervos alveolares inferiores posterior (Naip), médio (Naim) e anterior (Naia); Tipo II (34%), semelhante ao anterior, porém ausente o Naim; Tipo III (30%), semelhante ao primeiro, porém ausentes Naim e o Naia; e o Tipo IV (20%), a forma clássica do Nai, onde somente o Naia se ramifica a partir dele. Verificou-se uma série de conexões entre todos os feixes nervosos, sobretudo entre o Naip e o Nai, sendo que os ramos dentais e peridentais partem, em sua maioria, do Naip, Naim e Naia. Sobre os envoltórios conjuntivos, verificou-se que se espessam à medida que o feto se desenvolve, notando também a presença de uma bainha neurovascular comum a envolver o feixe vasculonervoso alveolar inferior. Quanto ao posicionamento da artéria alveolar inferior, adjacente ao forame da mandíbula, cruza o feixe nervoso, em sua maioria, pela face medial (41%) ou pela lateral (55%), para logo em seguida alcançar sua posição definitiva sobre a face superior do feixe nervoso. Quanto às veias alveolares inferiores, em número de 1 a 3, posicionam-se posteromedialmente às outras estruturas do feixe vasculonervoso. Para a veia de Serres, observada em todos os espécimes e envolta por um canal ósseo, propôs-se a terminologia veia paramandibular. / The inferior alveolar nerve (Nai), the thickest branch of the mandibular nerve (V pair of cranial nerve), is functionally related to jaw and lower teeth innervation as well as, being part of the surrounding smooth tissue. The Nai morphology has been systematically studied in mandible of adults however, no definitive consensus has been reached in relation to its branched pattern. Therefore, this study was been performed in 19 to 36 week-gestation fetuses, due to the importance of determining a basic model of Nai as available data refers only to its arrangement in adults. Micro dissection and Scanner Electron Microscopy (MEV) were performed on 86 human hemi-mandibles of both sexes in order to evaluate the morphological intraosseous pattern of Nai and its branches, its connective tissue and their relationship with vascular structures. In connection with the morphological pattern of intramandibular segment of Nai, four types of branches were proposed: Type I (16%) where Nai give rise to 3 main branches: posterior inferior alveolar nerve (Naip), medium (Naim), and anterior (Naia); Type II (34%), similar to Type I but Naim was absent; Type III (30%), similar to the first, however Naim and Naia were absent; and type IV (20%),the classic form of Nai, from which only Naia was raised. A series of connections was verified among all of the nervous bundles, especially between Nai and Naip. besides dental and periodontal branches commonly arising from Naip, Naim and Naia. In relation with the connective tissues, it was shown that they became thicker as the fetuses are developing; at this stage it was also noted one neurovascular sheath covering nerve bundles and blood vessels. Relatively to the inferior alveolar artery position, adjacent to mandible foramen, it can, frequently, cross the nerve bundle through medial (41%) or lateral surface (55%), reached after its final position on the superior surface of nerve bundle; the inferior alveolar veins (1 to 3), are posterior-medially positioned to the neurovascular bundle other structures. The terminology paramandibular vein was proposed to the Serres vein observed in all specimens studied which was surrounded by bone channel.

This thesis presents a qualitative study of the role of devices in the technological innovation phenomena of two venture medical equipment companies located in the Midlands, UK. The inquiry takes an empirical and non-foundational approach based on post-ANT and process philosophy. In particular, the thesis employs the theoretical lenses of both ANT and post-ANT concepts, Deleuze’s and Guattari’s machinic thought and Michel Serres’ parasitic philosophy. The data for this thesis comes from a fieldwork study lasting around one year. The methodology is mainly based on interviews and observations of engineers, technicians and managers working in venture companies. The central argument of this thesis shows that the venture organizing process of technological innovation is the product of discursive and non-discursive elements that act in several forms, keeping the venture company working but crucially reorganizing it. The present thesis offers a conceptualization of the device as a parasite-selector that reorganizes the venture company’s work activities and brings novelty to their operation. Equally, the mediational power of diagrams - which presents constitutional indifference - participates in the definition and production of the engineers’, managers’ and technicians’ professional identities. The thesis shows how the ideas regarding innovation in use at Med Dialysis and Med Diabetes bring forth the necessity of a life that embraces the uncertainty and ambiguity of the market. As a consequence, engineers and technicians build their professional identities by embracing the uncertainty of the venture company. This thesis names this process ‘engineering the engineer’. This is a process that leads to the emergence of a professional identity that this thesis tentatively calls the ‘venture engineer’.

[pt] O treinamento consiste em se propor metas ainda inalcançáveis. É imaginar o improvável e, a partir daí, alcançar o possível proposto. A ideia de pôr o corpo à prova, de testá-lo, vem do trato com os animais. Treinar é preparar o corpo para uma ação, exigir dele, atingir objetivos e alcançar domínios desconhecidos, lidar com limites, alterá-los. A escrita é um corpo visual que ganha forma no treinamento do corpo físico. Na criação de uma escrita é preciso deixar que as frases sejam construídas em diferentes partes do corpo. Haruki Murakami, Michel Serres e Jacques Henri Lartigue treinam o corpo para inventarem gestos sensíveis: a literatura, a filosofia, a fotografia. O gesto relativo ao corpo não é apenas uma ação. O gesto se inscreve entre o pré-movimento, atitude em relação à gravidade, e o movimento. Há, nele, um desejo de se projetar no espaço que carrega a sua expressividade. Este corpo cria espaço, molda-se nele. Tem em si todas as forças que regem o espaço e está em contato ininterrupto com elas. As forças do corpo agem e reagem às forças que o circundam. É com elas, na fricção, no confronto, no embate com essas forças e com outros corpos, que há o acontecimento. / [en] The training consists of proposing oneself goals still unreachable. It is to imagine the improbable and, from there, reach the possible that was proposed. The idea of bringing the body to proof, to test it, comes from the handling with animals. Training is to prepare the body for an action, to demand on it, to achieve goals and reach unknown areas, to handle with limits, to change them. The writing is a visual body that takes shape in the training of the physical body. In the creative process of writing it is necessary to let the sentences be built in different parts of the body. Haruki Murakami, Michel Serres and Jacques Henri Lartigue train the body to invent sensitive gestures: literature, philosophy, photography. The gesture of the body is not just an action. The gesture signs up between the pre-movement – the attitude about gravity – and the movement. There is in it a desire to project itself into the space that carries its expressiveness. This body creates space, shapes up in it. It mixes all the forces that govern the space and it is in continuous contact with them. The forces of the body act and react to the forces that surround it. It is with them, in the friction, in the clash, in the battle against these forces and other bodies that the event arises.

This thesis investigates conceptual networks —systems of organising, understanding and explaining thought and knowledge— and the ways in which they underlie both text and its mise en page across a range of thirteenth- and fourteenth-century French and Catalan literary texts and their manuscript witnesses. Each of the three chapters explores a separate corpus of texts, using two of four interrelated network theories: Michel Serres’ notion of parasites and hosts as the basic interconnecting units that combine to constitute all relational networks; the ubiquitous organizational tree; Gilles Deleuze’s concept of the fold as the primary factor in producing differentiation and identity; and Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari’s unruly, anti-hierarchical and anti-arborescent rhizomatic systems. The first chapter engages primarily with parasites and trees; the second with trees and folds; and the third with folds and rhizomes. However, resonances with the other network theories are discussed as they occur, in order to demonstrate the fundamentally interconnected and often interchangeable nature of these systems. Each chapter includes close analysis of manuscript witnesses of the texts under discussion. The first chapter, ‘Saints Denis and Fanuel: Parasitism and Arborescence on the Manuscript Page’, examines parasitic and arboreal networks in two hagiographic texts: late thirteenth- and early fourteenth-century prose redactions of the Vie de Saint Denis, and the thirteenth‐century hagiographic romance Li Romanz de Saint Fanuel. The second chapter, ‘Ramon Llull’s Folding Forests: The World, the Tree and the Book’, addresses arborescent and folding structures in Llull’s encyclopaedic Arbre de ciència [Tree of Science], composed between 1295 and 1296. The third chapter, ‘Transgender Genealogy: Turning, Folding and Crossing Gender’, considers three characters in medieval French texts who can be read as transgender: Saint Fanuel; the King of Torelore in Aucassin et Nicolette; and Blanchandin/e in Tristan de Nanteuil. The chapter explores the ways in which these characters’ queer trajectories can be understood through conceptions of directionality which relate to the fold and the rhizome.

This assignment proposes the body within new perspectives about itself. Therefore three possibilities of thought will be used starting with their connections: the body-texture, the body-potency and the body-narrative. It s not the intention of this paper to be linear nor excludente, due to the fact that, we believe there are merely three choices of reflection and not the complete nor entire forms of thinking of the body. Nevertheless, based on the works of Serres, we consider these connections pertinent, seeing that the author discusses these new choices in many of his books. The emphasis is mainly on five specific ones: Les Cinq Sens, Variations sur le Corps and three others of a quadrilogy on humanity: Hominescence, L Incandescent and Rameaux. The reflections presented are inside a contemporary context, in which the frontiers between what is human and what is not, are more and more tenuous as well as crossed likewise movable each moment. Thinking about the body, in this perspective, brings us to new possibilities not only about reflections but actions, because our proposal, far from being a theoretical imposition, is a practical stimulation. It forces us not to ponder about the body, but to effectively have one / Este texto tem como objetivo refletir sobre a possibilidade de pensar o corpo a partir dos trabalhos do filósofo francês contemporâneo Michel Serres. Este trabalho se apresenta numa proposta de pensar o corpo que comporte as novas perspectivas sobre ele. Para tanto, serão utilizadas três possibilidades de pensar o corpo a partir de suas conexões: o corpo-textura, o corpo-potência e o corpo-narrativa. Desta forma, nosso trabalho não se apresenta de uma maneira linear, nem mesmo excludente, na medida em que, acreditamos que estas são apenas três possibilidades de reflexão e não consideramos estas as únicas maneiras de se pensar o corpo. A partir do trabalho de Serres, enfatizo nossos estudos em cinco livros específicos: Os Cinco Sentidos, Variações Sobre o Corpo e três livros de sua quadrilogia sobre a humanidade: Hominescência, O Incandescente e Ramos. As reflexões apresentadas aqui se inserem um contexto contemporâneo, no qual as fronteiras entre o que é humano e o que é não-humano encontram-se cada vez mais tênues, são, a cada momento, transpassadas, móveis. Pensar sobre o corpo, nesta perspectiva, nos traz novas possibilidades de ação, e não apenas de reflexão, na medida em que nossa proposta, longe de ser uma imposição teórica, se apresenta como provocação prática, por nos incitar não a pensar sobre o corpo, mas a ter, efetivamente, um corpo

This dissertation explores the entangled territorialities of charitable fundraising, redressing the under-theorisation of the praxis as a social construct and a transformative spatial process. It approaches fundraising from an etiological perspective, drawing on French continental theory, particularly the work of Michel Serres and of Deleuze and Guattari, as well as concepts arising from literature in relational geographies and in business studies. Unlike many scholarly accounts, which obscure the fact that this property-challenged, property-desiring practice relies on the hospitality of others in order to extract and transfer resources, this study argues that the trait of interloping is crucial to fundraising’s expansive colonisation of urban space. Seizing on the notions of minor architecture and itinerant territoriality, it thinks through fundraising’s habits, inhabitations and habitats. By doing so, it reveals a form of nomadic war machine specialised in crafting parasitic architectures that invade urban territories to constitute a territory of its own. That this state-authorised territory has become an obligatory passage point within contemporary networked societies says much about how power is forged through the intersection of political, moral-economic and socio-affective parameters. Moreover, in uncovering a hint of revanchism against the property-owning classes, this research points to the usual affective politics emerging at a time of state metamorphosis and protracted economic uncertainty. This conceptual work provides entry for an ethnographic exploration of the charitabilisation of urban life within the context of austerity in contemporary Paris. Evidence collected from interviews, participant observation, video, photography, maps, drawings and extant literature is used to illuminate fundraising’s polydimensional strategies and widespread yet minimally disruptive appropriations and expropriations. While other authors have documented the movement of fundraising in France from utter marginalisation to mainstream to strategic importance, this study traces the political and territorial machinations of the powerful Parisian network of non-profit leaders, association executives, heads of fundraising agencies, management consultants, lawyers, and government officials who lead the push for a more generous France. The continuities, tensions, and contradictions between this group’s production of space and the realities of on-the-street fundraising are explored through a series of case studies. The views presented highlight ways in which fundraisers induce and take advantage of breaches in prevailing articulations of space, time and citizen-bodies to fortify more-than-capitalist urban logics. Collectively, they render visible the temporalities, hotspots, technologies, imaginaries, schemes, and hypocrisies informing an aggressive incrementalism. The new view of Paris imparted foregrounds the enterprising, contested and geographically uneven process of cultivating the habit of ceding property, both in the sense of subjectivities and of material rights. This dissertation’s conceptual and empirical strands make it possible to apprehend how minoritarian actors become dominant. Extending the minoritarian’s right to temporally hold power and property is shown to involve continuously testing and exploiting the affordances of relations. Displayed and analysed are the contamination of ideals and the breaking of pacts within fundraising’s moral pursuit of wealth transference. Such promiscuities ought to be regarded as, this study emphasizes, a form of preparedness for the city to come.

Lors de l'irrigation des cultures de tomate produites en serre, une partie importante de l'eau enrichie en engrais est rejetée dans l'environnement afin de contrôler la conductivité électrique du milieu de culture et l'équilibre ionique de la solution du sol. Plusieurs contraintes limitent la réutilisation de cette eau, par exemple une surcharge de l'eau en ions sulfates (SO₄²⁻) et la présence d'agents pathogènes, comme Pythium ultimum ou Fusarium oxysporum. Les objectifs de cette recherche étaient de (1) réduire les SO₄²⁻ en présence d'ions nitrates (NO₃⁻), (2) éliminer les agents pathogènes P. ultimum et F. oxysporum présents dans l'effluent de serre, (3) évaluer l'effet suppresseur de ces eaux traitées envers la pourriture pythienne, (4) comparer la croissance de plants de tomate irrigués avec les eaux traitées par les marais, (5) comprendre l'effet de différents amendements de C dans les marais filtrants sur la diversité métabolique et phylogénétique des populations microbiennes, et finalement (6) évaluer la capacité de bioréacteurs passifs à réduire les SO₄²⁻en présence d'ions NO₃⁻ , et à éliminer les agents pathogènes P. ultimum et F. oxysporum. Nos résultats ont démontré l'importance de la quantité et de la qualité de la source exogène de carbone (C) pour réduire les ions NO₃⁻ et SO₄²⁻. Pour un enlèvement optimal de SO₄²⁻et de NO₃⁻ (99 %), l'apport de C exogène doit atteindre les seuils C :N = 3,4 et COD: SO₄²⁻= 0,36. D'autre part, les marais filtrants ont été performants (99,99 %) à réduire les agents pathogènes P. ultimum et F. oxysporum, notamment par l'adsorption de ceux-ci au biofilm formé et par la production d'enzymes extracellulaires par les microorganismes. Le traitement des effluents par les marais confère également à l'eau des propriétés suppressives envers la pourriture pythienne. La quantité et la qualité du contenu en carbone utilisé pour amender les AWs ont eu une forte incidence sur l'activité métabolique des microorganismes pour l'utilisation des sources de N, P et S. Finalement, l'utilisation de bioréacteurs passifs a montré, par une activité microbienne importante, une efficacité similaire aux marais filtrants pour réduire les ions sulfates en présence de nitrates. De plus, les bioréacteurs passifs ont été aussi performants que les marais pour éliminer les agents pathogènes étudiés. L'utilisation des marais filtrants et des bioréacteurs constitue une alternative durable pour le traitement des effluents de serre.

L'agriculture sous serre est importante pour relever les défis mondiaux en matière de sécurité alimentaire et de durabilité, car elle permet de produire tout au long de l'année et d'obtenir des rendements nettement supérieurs à ceux de l'agriculture de plein champ. Toutefois, pour renforcer la durabilité environnementale et la viabilité économique de ces bâtiments à forte consommation d'énergie, il est essentiel d'améliorer leur efficacité énergétique. Pour optimiser les conditions de croissance des plantes tout en considérant la consommation d'énergie, il est nécessaire de gérer soigneusement le chauffage, l'humidité, le CO₂ et l'éclairage, car ils sont tous interconnectés. L'efficacité des différentes techniques, telles que les écrans thermiques et les systèmes de récupération de la chaleur, dépend de facteurs tels que le climat extérieur, les sources d'énergie et les mécanismes de contrôle. D'un point de vue énergétique, quelles sont les meilleures pratiques en matière d'éclairage et de mesures d'efficacité énergétique dans les serres, en mettant l'accent sur la durabilité ? La littérature actuelle manque de conseils pratiques de mise en œuvre, d'études comparatives et de considérations sur les variations climatiques régionales et les impacts futurs des changements climatiques. Cette recherche a analysé l'impact de différentes technologies d'éclairage et de mesures d'efficacité énergétique sur la consommation annuelle d'énergie à l'aide d'un modèle de simulation dynamique des serres. Les résultats ont montré que l'éclairage LED et les écrans thermiques sont les options les plus efficaces sur le plan énergétique, en particulier dans les climats nordiques. Les simulations des scénarios climatiques futurs indiquent des réductions potentielles de rendement en raison de chaleur estivale excessive. Les mesures d'adaptation, telles que les systèmes mécaniques de refroidissement et de déshumidification, sont prometteuses pour atténuer les effets des changements climatiques, mais elles augmentent également la consommation d'énergie. Cette recherche souligne l'importance des approches personnalisées de gestion de l'énergie pour des serres durables face à des conditions environnementales changeantes. Les résultats de ce travail sont utiles aux producteurs pour leur planification opérationnelle et stratégique, et aux décideurs politiques pour le développement de programmes de soutien à l'industrie. / Greenhouse agriculture is important for addressing global food security and sustainability challenges by enabling year-round production and significantly higher crop yields compared to field farming. However, to enhance the environmental sustainability and economic viability of these energy-intensive buildings, it is crucial to improve their energy efficiency. To optimize plant growth conditions while balancing energy consumption, it is necessary to carefully manage heating, humidity, CO₂, and lighting, as they are all interconnected. The effectiveness of various energy efficiency techniques, such as thermal screens and heat harvesting systems, depends on factors such as outdoor climate, energy sources, and control mechanisms. From an energy perspective, what are the best practices for lighting and energy efficiency measures in greenhouses with a focus on sustainability? The current literature often lacks practical implementation guidance, comparative studies, and considerations for regional climate variations and future climate change impacts. Additionally, operational costs and local environmental factors are frequently overlooked. This study analyzed the impact of different lighting technologies and energy efficiency measures on annual energy consumption using a comprehensive greenhouse dynamic simulation model. The results showed that LED lighting and thermal screens are the most energy-efficient options, especially in northern climates. Simulations of future climate scenarios indicate potential yield reductions due to excessive summer heat. Adaptive measures, such as mechanical cooling and dehumidification systems, show promise for mitigating climate change impacts but also increase energy consumption. This research emphasizes the importance of customized energy management approaches for sustainable greenhouse horticulture in the face of changing environmental conditions. The outcome of this work is useful to growers for their operational and strategic planning and for policymakers for the development of programs supporting the industry.

L’objectif principal de cette thèse était de mieux comprendre le comportement photochimique des pesticides pulvérisés dans les serres agricoles à Menyeh-Liban Nord. La première partie du travail a été consacrée à l’analyse des échantillons de poivrons verts, concombres, tomates, des films de plastique et de l’air récupérés dans ces serres agricoles. Nous avons quantifié et suivi par HPLC-HR-MS les résidus de 4 pesticides: bifénazate (BIF), acétamipride, imidaclopride et thiophanate méthyl (TM) dans les échantillons de légumes extraits par la méthode QUECHERS. Les quantités retrouvées durant les 6 jours suivant la pulvérisation étaient bien supérieures aux MRLs imposées pour chaque pesticide. Par ailleurs, des photoproduits de TM, BIF et de l’imidaclopride ont été détectés dans les solutions de rinçage de la surface des tomates, des concombres et des poivrons verts, démontrant ainsi la possibilité de photodégradation des pesticides à l’intérieur d’une serre agricole. L’analyse de la phase gazeuse par GC-MS a révélé la libération de terpènes, d’alcanes et d’aldéhydes comme réponse des plantes au stress de température et de pulvérisation. Dans une deuxième partie, on a détaillé les mécanismes de transformation photochimique du BIF et du TM sous irradiations simulées. La photodégradation de TM avait un caractère autoaccéléré qui n’a jamais été rapporté dans la littérature. Une étude détaillée nous a permis de démontrer que cette auto-accélération est due à la formation d’un photoproduit photosensibilisateur dérivé de la quinoxaline. Quant au BIF, sa vitesse de dégradation et la nature des produits dépendaient du milieu (ACN, eau, cire et poivron verts). Ces travaux ont mis en évidence l’effet de support et de mélange sur le comportement photochimique des pesticides. / The main purpose of this work was to better understand the photochemical behavior of pesticides used in agricultural greenhouses in Menyeh-North Lebanon. The first part was dedicated to the analysis of green peppers, cucumbers, tomatoes, plastic films and air samples from these agricultural greenhouses. HPLC-HR-MS was used to quantify and monitor the residues of 4 pesticides: bifenazate (BIF), acetamiprid, imidacloprid and thiophanate methyl (TM) after QUECHERS extraction of the vegetables samples. The quantities of pesticides found within 6 days after spraying were well above the MRLs imposed for each one. Then, the photoproducts of TM, BIF and imidacloprid were identified after rinsing the surface of tomatoes, cucumbers and green peppers. This demonstrated the possibility of photodegradation of pesticides even inside an agricultural greenhouse. Gas phase analysis by GC-MS revealed the presence of terpenes, alkanes and aldehydes as the response of plants to temperature and spraying stresses. In a second part, we studied the photochemical mechanisms of BIF and TM in the laboratory under simulated irradiation. The auto-accelerated photodegradation of TM was reported for the first time. A detailed study enabled us to demonstrate that this auto-acceleration was due to the formation of a photosensitizing photoproduct derived from quinoxaline. The rate of degradation of BIF and the nature of the products were dependent on the medium (ACN, water, wax and green peppers). These results highlighted the effect of support and mixture on the photochemical behavior of pesticides.

Where did we come from? Where are we going? Those are old questions that have incited me toward a complex anthropological knowledge, detached from the imprintings of the official anthropocentric narrative, related to hominization, which irreversibly separated us from the natural world. We took it as an object, domesticated and subdued Nature, creating the Anthropocene. It is in this scenario that we find humankind; thus, Anthropology cannot be unaware of the main occurrences of the Grand Narrative. In search of a Fundamental Anthropology creates a dialog between the works of Edgar Morin and Michel Serres, two incandescent and marginal thinkers who stepped out from the crowd of current scholarship thinkers. Authors of polyphonic ideas, they had produced open and unfinished knowledge, breaking through disciplinary barriers; smuggling concepts; crossbreeding ideas, inventing by thinking. To walk on their shoes, dialog with their narrative and unfold new horizons is to follow them along their path of anthropological knowledge, which reintroduces man into nature; restoring our animality; which contextualizes us into the ecosystem-world that recognizes our biocultural, planetary and cosmic-earthly ascendance, as well as our, at the same time, one and multiple identity, which also contributes to ecologize ideas and actions; which also invests in the ethical rearrangement of the human subject, comprehensively responsible for society and for the Biogea. A well thinking process ecologically intertwined upon the struggles of the Homo complexus universalis oecologicus with himself, the human community and all living things / Quem somos? De onde viemos? Para onde vamos? São antigas questões que me instigam a um saber antropológico complexo desvencilhado dos imprintings da velha narrativa antropocêntrica do processo de hominização que apartou, irremediavelmente, o homem do mundo natural. Tomamos o mundo como objeto, domesticamos e dominamos a natureza, fabricamos o Antropoceno. É nesse contexto que a humanidade se insere, e a Antropologia não pode ficar alheia aos acontecimentos da Grande Narrativa. Em busca de uma Antropologia Fundamental tece um diálogo com as obras de Edgar Morin e de Michel Serres, pensadores incandescentes e desviantes das autoestradas do conhecimento disciplinar. Autores de polifônicas ideias, produziram um conhecimento aberto e inacabado, romperam fronteiras disciplinares, contrabandearam conceitos, mestiçaram saberes, inventaram pensando. Percorrer os seus caminhos, dialogar com suas narrativas, ramificar novos horizontes é prosseguir com ambos nas vias de um saber antropológico que reintroduz o homem na natureza; que restaura sua animalidade; que o contextualiza no ecossistema-mundo; que reconhece sua ascendência cósmica-terrestre, sua identidade una e múltipla, biocultural, planetária; e que também contribui para ecologizar ideias e ações; que investe na recomposição ética do sujeito-humano responsável consigo, com a sociedade, com a Biogea. Um bem-pensar tecido ecologicamente no corpo a corpo do Homo complexus universalis oecologicus consigo, com os outros, com a totalidade dos seres vivos, com a natureza inteira, com o mundo
