其他摘要：This article deals with the need for recognition of the identity of culturally diverse
groups, the so-called traditional or local communities in Brazil. It defines traditional-local
communities, their relation with the environment and the need for protecting their knowledge, to
obtain understanding of the past and guarantee of the future. It also emphasizes the matter of
emancipation and the imperative of guaranteeing equality (in difference) to achieve citizenship
in times of change and uncertainty with respect to protection of their cultural and ecologica
patrimony. It thus seeks to demonstrate the paradox between the right of the author or copyright
and the reality of local communities and their sites in search of symbolic defense of the local
universe of their culture in face of the globalization process.
