Resumo
In this paper we intend to show that the relationship of a people with
their environment is fundamental in shaping their concept of ownership
/ possession. Communities that have a more direct relationship with their
natural environment tend to have a more fluid sense of ownership, in which
the idea of “collective ownership” is more common than that of “individual
ownership”. In cultures whose relationship with the environment is more
mediated by culture the opposite occurs, and “mine” is more prevalent
than “ours”. For the purposes of this study we will analyze some linguistic
terms used to label the idea of possession of plants, animals and land in
two distinct cultures, one that maintains a direct relationship with their
environment, Indians Xerente Akwen, another representing our entire
Western culture. In this case we will analyze some terms of the Bible, under
the assumption that our Western culture has two major cultural bases, the
Judeo-Christian and Greek culture. The former is here represented by the
Bible.
