Resumo




De uma perspectiva interdisciplinar, transcultural e comunicacional, a participação na governança da água deve incluir atividades não políticas e engajamento. No Brasil, é obrigatório que os órgãos de decisão incluam a participação ativa da sociedade. Este é um princípio democrático que fala de um conceito de 'hidro-cidadania' que está sendo atualmente explorado no Reino Unido, em que a governança centralizada da água está dando lugar ao planejamento de adaptação liderado por comunidades. As oportunidades de aprendizado social e cultural foram exploradas em nossa pesquisa colaborativa no Reino Unido e no Brasil. Oferecemos propostas relevantes sobre o valor da história, narrativa e memórias como componentes emergentes da resiliência para além de contêineres políticos coletivos, comunitários ou nacionais. Argumentamos que um elo perdido na literatura é aquele entre narrativas, memória social e resiliência ambiental como uma água cultural compartilhada de maneira pessoal. Essas idéias têm o potencial de abordar as lacunas de participação e governança através do recurso a um entendimento transcultural da comunicação em rede social sobre gerenciamento de água.
