Résumé
Le présent article examine la formation des subjectivités environnementales au Kumaon, dans l’État d’Uttar Pradesh, en Inde. Il s’attarde sur l’exemple d’une gestion communautaire de la forêt qui a débuté il y a 70 ans et montre comment des stratégies de réglementation associées à une prise de décisions collective transforment également les convictions et les positions des sujets qui prennent part à ces activités de régulation. L’expérience de la rareté, les responsabilités associées au gouvernement des forêts et la participation à l’élaboration de règles ont une influence déterminante sur les personnes qui en viennent, à la longue, à se considérer comme des sujets de l’environnement. L’étude se fonde sur des données d’archives et sur les résultats d’une recherche ethnographique effectuée à deux périodes distinctes.

Abstract
This paper examines the formation of environmental subjectivities in Kumaon in the state of Uttaranchal Pradesh in India. It focuses on a 70-year old example of community-based forest management and shows how regulatory strategies associated with community decision-making also transform the beliefs and subject positions of those who participate in regulatory activities. Experiences of scarcity, responsibility for governing forests, and participation in regulation are key influences on those who come to see themselves over time as environmental subjects. The paper is based upon evidence drawn from the archival record and ethnographic research conducted over two different time periods.

Resumen
El presente artículo examina la formación de las subjetividades del medio ambiente en Kumaon, en el estado de Uttar Pradesh, en India. Se concentra sobre el ejemplo de la gestión comunitaria del bosque que comenzó hace 70 años y muestra cómo las estrategias de reglamentación asociadas a la toma de decisiones colectivas transforman igualmente las convicciones y las posiciones de los sujetos que participan en las actividades de regulación. La experiencia de la escasez, las responsabilidades asociadas al gobierno de los bosques y la participación en la elaboración de reglamentos, influyen de manera determinante sobre las personas quienes, a la larga, se consideran como los sujetos del medio ambiente. El estudio se basa en datos de archivo y en los resultados de una investigación etnográfica realizada en dos periodos distintos.
