| Summary: | Among the Diola in the region of Lower Casamance there is no word for "landscape". As a result, seeking to understand landscape trajectories as perceived and understood by local rice-growing populations seems doomed to failure. When listening to the local inhabitants speak among themselves, one realises that discussions unavoidably revolve around topics such as rainfall, drought and the salinity of the water. By means of an ethno-climatological method, this article seeks to examine how local meteorological and climate events are included in collective and individual narratives in which the Diola rice growers express how they experience contemporary radical changes. By avoiding talking about the landscape and by simply referring to what the weather is like or will be like, this study shows that talk about the climate provides an insight into the complex issue of landscapes considered in terms of relationships and narratives. |
