Paperback. Condition: New. The end of the world is a seemingly interminable topic Ð at least, of course, until it happens. Environmental catastrophe and planetary apocalypse are subjects of enduring fascination and, as ethnographic studies show, human cultures have approached them in very different ways. Indeed, in the face of the growing perception of the dire effects of global warming, some of these visions have been given a new lease on life. Information and analyses concerning the human causes and the catastrophic consequences of the planetary 'crisis' have been accumulating at an ever-increasing rate, mobilising popular opinion as well as academic reflection. In this book, philosopher Déborah Danowski and anthropologist Eduardo Viveiros de Castro offer a bold overview and interpretation of these current discourses on 'the end of the world', reading them as thought experiments on the decline of the West's anthropological adventure Ð that is, as attempts, though not necessarily intentional ones, at inventing a mythology that is adequate to the present. This work has important implications for the future development of ecological practices and it will appeal to a broad audience interested in contemporary anthropology, philosophy, and environmentalism.…

01-03-2019 edición 200 Ante la cada vez más evidente gravedad de la crisis ambiental y civilizatoria, proliferan nuevas versiones en torno a una antiquísima idea de "fin del mundo". La transformación de nuestra especie, que pasa de ser simple agente biológico o social a una fuerza geológica capaz de afectar el sistema planetario y su destino -situación que ha dado lugar al controversial concepto de "Antropoceno"- produce una angustia metafísica, que contrasta con el optimismo del discurso tecnofílico. Este libro se propone analizar la proliferación actual de narrativas sobre el fin del mundo, entendiéndolas como intentos de invención de una mitología adecuada al presente que nos oriente ante el colapso de la distinción entre naturaleza y cultura. Déborah Danowski y Eduardo Viveiros de Castro encuentran evidencia de estos esfuerzos míticos tanto en la divulgación científica y en los pronunciamientos de diversas organizaciones mundiales, como en la obra de Bruno Latour, Isabelle Stengers, Quentin Meillassoux o los aceleracionistas, y en bloskbusters como "Mad Max", "La carretera" o "Melancolía". La conciencia compartida de que el proyecto occidental de una construcción social de la realidad se ejecutó bajo la forma desastrosa de una destrucción natural del planeta suscita la necesidad de repensar la relación entre lo humano y lo no humano bajo las visiones catastróficas de un mundo sin nosotros o de una humanidad sin mundo. Para esto, los autores recurren al pensamiento animista de los pueblos amazónicos -sobrevivientes de la catástrofe civilizatoria del colonialismo-, para quienes cada especie constituye un tipo de sociedad, y cada interacción transespecífica, un campo de negociación diplomática. Aquella expresión común en boca de los militantes de izquierda, "todo es político", adquiere en el caso amerindio una literalidad extrema, ya que todo vínculo con el medioambiente involucra el ejercicio de una cosmopolítica. páginas/pasges.…
