Reminder // Workshop :: Equivocal (anthropo)cenes :: 8-9 november, Santiago
Disculpas por múltiples envíos / Apologies for cross-postings! <br> <br>Workshop <br> <br>Equivocal (anthropo)cenes: indigenous ontologies and the ethics of <br>geo-climatic disruptions <br> <br> <br> <br>8-9 November 2018 <br> <br>P. Universidad Católica, Santiago, Chile <br> <br> <br> <br>Organized by: <br> <br>Marcelo González, P. Universidad Católica and CIGIDEN <br> <br>Manuel Tironi, P. Universidad Católica and CIGIDEN <br> <br> <br>Keynotes: <br> <br>Kristina Lyons, University of Pennsylvania <br> <br>Claudio Millacura, Universidad de Chile <br> <br>Timothy Neale, Deakin University <br> <br>The end of the world has begun, and the blame is on us –or at least on some <br>“us”. Floods and droughts, fires and hurricanes, large-scale chemical <br>pollution and a growing loss of biodiversity: human-induced disasters <br>multiply, as this multiplication unveils the disruption of biospheric <br>equilibriums to a threshold of no-return. The world will carry on but, we <br>begin to recognize, it will not be anymore suitable for a humanity that has <br>unleashed the inhuman might of a revengefull Gaia. The “Anthropocene” is <br>how the geosciences has named this agonistic moment in human-nature <br>relations. <br> <br>But the “Anthropocene” dramaturgy needs to be decolonized. By posing <br>itself in relation to two interconnected although distinct entities, <br>“humans” and the “world,” the Anthropocene narrative rests upon a <br>bifurcation that is anything but universal. From the perspective of the “the <br>enormous minority of peoples that has never been modern” (Danowski and <br>Viveiros de Castro 2017), who we is and for whom the “world” is a world <br>are crucial questions that Anthropocene theories have failed to answer. Even <br>social critique has only surfaced the challenge of accounting for modes of <br>dwelling along, acting upon and caring for geo-climatic disruptions that are <br>other to the assumptions of the Anthropocene: while critique has focused on <br>the confusion between planetarity and generality, pointing to the <br>heterogeneity of sites and “humans” involved in the (uneven) production <br>and suffering of the Anthropocene, less attention has been paid to whether <br>beyond the sociological question of difference, there is an ontological <br>problem around what constitutes to be human, to inhabit the Earth and to die <br>in and by it. <br> <br>In this workshop we want to think about this (anthropo)cene otherwise, <br>attending to how indigenous ontologies render knowable and interveneable <br>geo-climatic disruptions. Problematizing the “end of the world” arc, we <br>want to explore the ethico-political potentiality of the restorative and <br>co-laboring practices that emerge when human-nature relations are indigenized. <br>We take “indigenous” as a complex category that relates, first and <br>foremost, to aboriginal, native or ancestral communities, but also to local, <br>subaltern, or activists collectives rehearcing “emplaced” politics of <br>becoming (Gibson-Graham 2003). Inspired by various contemporary proposals for <br>the decolonization of the (anthropo)cene—such as Anthropo-not-seen (De la <br>Cadena), Capitalocene (Moore), or Chtulucene (Haraway)— we are interested in <br>exploring the following questions: <br> <br> <br>How human-geology relations and cycles of life and death are theorized and <br>practized by indigenous communities or otherwise emplaced collectives? <br>What “disaster” –and by extension “risk”, “continuity” and <br>“disruption”— means from indigenous ontologies and which moral <br>principles are rendered relevant? <br>How can situated and immanent knowledge intervene in, and partake along, <br>generalizing theories on geo-climatic processes and change? <br>Which other modes of attention, care, reciprocity, and collaboration are <br>proposed by indigenous collectives in the face of biophysical disturbances? <br>What alterity means for thinking the (anthropo)cene and acting politically <br>against it? <br>What do we have to learn from indigenous expertise for disaster risk reduction <br>and mitigation? <br> <br>Format <br> <br>The workshop will be held at P. Universidad Católica de Chile, campus San <br>Joaquín, 8-9 November, in Santiago, Chile. The 2-days workshop is designed as <br>a space for in-depth debate. We aim at a small group of 15 participants. <br> <br>Upon acceptance, each participant will have to submit an extended abstract <br>(3,000 words), which will be working on collaboratively during the days of the <br>workshop. We are in conversations with University of Pennsylvania Press to <br>publish an edited volume with the results of the workshop. <br> <br>Application and deadlines <br> <br>Applications to participate are now open until September 15th. Applications <br>must include an abstract (300 words) sent to Manuel Tironi (metironi@uc.cl <br>) and Marcelo González (magonzalezg@uc.cl <br>). Accepted participants will be notified by <br>late-September. <br> <br> <br>Deadline for abstract submission (300 words, in Spanish, Portuguese or <br>English): September 15th <br>Notice of acceptance: September 31st <br>Deadline for extended abstract submission (3,000 words, in English): October <br>25th <br> <br>For questions please contact Manuel Tironi (metironi@uc.cl <br>) and Marcelo González (magonzalezg@uc.cl <br>). <br> <br> <br> <br>++++++++++++++++++++++ <br> <br>Taller <br> <br>(Antropo)cenos equívocos: ontologías indígenas y las éticas de las <br>disrupciones geo-climáticas <br> <br> <br> <br>8-9 Noviembre 2018 <br> <br>P. Universidad Católica, Santiago, Chile <br> <br> <br> <br>Organizado por: <br> <br>Marcelo González, P. Universidad Católica and CIGIDEN <br> <br>Manuel Tironi, P. Universidad Católica and CIGIDEN <br> <br> <br>Keynotes: <br> <br>Kristina Lyons, University of Pennsylvania <br> <br>Claudio Millacura, Universidad de Chile <br> <br>Timothy Neale, Deakin University <br> <br> <br>El fin del mundo comenzó, y la culpa es de nosotros, o al menos del algunos <br>“nosotros”. Inundaciones y sequías, incendios y huracanes, polución <br>química a gran escala y una creciente pérdida de biodiversidad: los <br>desastres antrópicos se multiplican, y esta multiplicación devela la <br>disrupción de equilibrios biosféricos a un punto de no-retorno. El mundo <br>seguirá su curso, pero ya no será adecuado para una humanidad que ha <br>desatado el poder inhumano de una Gaia vengativa. Este momento agonista en las <br>relaciones humano-naturaleza ha sido nombrado por las geociencias como el <br>"Antropoceno". <br> <br>Pero la dramaturgia "Antropoceno" necesita ser descolonizada. Al plantearse en <br>torno a la relación entre dos entidades interconectadas pero distintas –lo <br>“humano” y el “mundo”— la narrativa del Antropoceno descansa sobre <br>una bifurcación que no es universal. En efecto, desde la perspectiva de “la <br>enorme minoría de pueblos que nunca han sido modernos” (Danowski y Viveiros <br>de Castro 2017), comprender qué constituye un nosotros y el “mundo” son <br>preguntas cruciales que las teorías del Antropoceno no se han detenido a <br>responder. Incluso la crítica social sólo ha circundado el desafío de <br>reconocer modos de co-habitar, inter-actuar y cuidar las perturbaciones <br>geo-climáticas que son otras a los supuestos del Antropoceno: mientras ella <br>se ha enfocado en la confusión entre planetariedad y generalidad, apuntando a <br>la heterogeneidad de lugares y “humanos” involucrados (desigualmente) en <br>la producción y el sufrimiento del Antropoceno, se ha prestado menos <br>atención a si más allá de la cuestión sociológica de la diferencia, hay <br>un problema ontológico en torno a qué constituye ser humano, habitar la <br>Tierra y morir en ella. <br> <br>En este taller queremos pensar en este otro (antropo)ceno y multiplicarlo, <br>atendiendo a cómo las ontologías indígenas hacen entendibles e <br>intervenibles las disrupciones geo-climáticas. Problematizando el guión del <br>“fin del mundo”, queremos explorar la potencialidad ético-política de <br>las prácticas restaurativas y colaborativas que surgen cuando las relaciones <br>humano-naturaleza son indigenizadas. Tomamos lo “indígena” como una <br>categoría compleja que se relaciona, ante todo, con comunidades aborígenes, <br>nativas o ancestrales, pero también con colectivos locales, subalternos o <br>activistas que ensayan políticas “emplazadas” de devenir (Gibson-Graham <br>2003). Inspirados en diversas propuestas contemporáneas para la <br>descolonización del (antropo)ceno, como el Antropo-ciego (De la Cadena), el <br>Capitaloceno (Moore) o el Chtuluceno (Haraway), estamos interesados en <br>explorar las siguientes preguntas: <br> <br> <br>¿Cómo las relaciones humano-geológicas y los ciclos de vida y muerte son <br>teorizados y practicados por comunidades indígenas o colectivos emplazados? <br>¿Qué significa “desastre” –y por extensión “riesgo”, <br>“continuidad” e “interrupción”— desde las ontologías indígenas, y <br>qué principios morales se vuelven relevantes? <br>¿Cómo puede el conocimiento situado e inmanente intervenir en, y participar <br>junto a, teorías generales sobre los procesos y cambios geo-climáticos? <br>¿Qué otros modos de atención, cuidado, reciprocidad y colaboración son <br>propuestos por los colectivos indígenas frente a las disrupciones <br>biofísicas? <br>¿Qué significa alteridad para pensar el (antropo)ceno y actuar <br>políticamente en su resistencia? <br>¿Qué tenemos que aprender de la experticia indígena para la reducción y <br>mitigación del riesgo de desastres? <br> <br>Formato <br> <br>El taller se realizará en la P. Universidad Católica de Chile, campus San <br>Joaquín, del 8 al 9 de noviembre, en Santiago de Chile. Está diseñado como <br>un espacio para el debate en profundidad. Nuestro objetivo es contar con un <br>pequeño grupo de un máximo de 15 participantes. <br> <br>Tras la aceptación, cada participante deberá enviar un resumen extendido <br>(3.000 palabras), sobre el cual se trabajará colaborativamente durante los <br>días en que el grupo se encuentre reunido. Estamos en conversaciones con <br>University of Pennsylvania Press para publicar un volumen editado con los <br>resultados del taller. <br> <br>Postulación y deadlines <br> <br>El período de postulación está abierto hasta el 15 de septiembre. Las <br>postulaciones deben incluir un resumen (300 palabras) y enviarse a Manuel <br>Tironi (metironi@uc.cl ) y Marcelo González <br>(magonzalezg@uc.cl ). Los/as participantes <br>aceptados/as serán notificados/as a fines de septiembre. <br> <br> <br>Fecha límite para la presentación de resúmenes (300 palabras, en español, <br>portugués o inglés): 15 de septiembre <br>Aviso de aceptación: 31 de septiembre <br>Fecha límite para la presentación de resúmenes extendidos (3.000 palabras, <br>en inglés): 25 de octubre <br> <br>Ante cualquier pregunta, comunicarse con Manuel Tironi (metironi@uc.cl <br>) y Marcelo González (magonzalezg@uc.cl <br>). <br> <br> <br> <br>Manuel Tironi <br> <br>Professor Asociado <br>Instituto de Sociología <br>P.
