Cartografías vivas de la interculturalidad: aportes (trans)disciplinares de la relación cultura-naturaleza en la comunidad de la Maestría en Escenarios Socioambientales para la Vida de la Universidad de Colima (México)

This article analyzes the relationship between culture and nature within the framework of interculturality, in a context marked by socio-environmental crises and the need to envision sustainable futures. The objective is to highlight the articulation of scientific, ancestral, and community knowledges within the academic community of the Master’s in Socio-Environmental Scenarios for Life at the Universidad de Colima, and to understand and transform this relationship through educational processes that support its students. The research employs the methodology known as Living Cartographies, a participatory approach that places a socio-environmental problem at the center of the analysis and unfolds it in four stages: situated exploration, systemic and structural analysis, symbolic and critical analysis, and narrative integration. Within this framework, various disciplines offer concrete examples: political ecology examines cultural and political conflicts linked to the environment; marine sciences demonstrate both the biocultural management of wildlife and the cultural transformation necessary to address our detachment from nature; and philosophy challenges the paradigm of domination by proposing conviviality as an ethical horizon. From this perspective, interculturality transcends an abstract concept to become a situated practice expressed through participatory methodologies, collective narratives, and socio-environmental management projects. The text argues that knowledge is produced through interaction and that conserving and caring for life requires integrating diverse rationalities. In conclusion, it emphasizes that constructing Socio-Environmental Scenarios for Life demands ongoing dialogue among theory, practice, and ethics, in which nature is recognized as memory, symbol, and subject of care. The originality of this work lies in presenting a transdisciplinary dialogue approach, which contributes to this field of knowledge by showing how academic research can become an act of collective care and cultural resistance in the face of contemporary crises.
