THE ENVIRONMENT FROM AN ANTHROPOCENTRIC CONCEPTION

AN ANALYSIS FROM DECOLONIAL AND ECOFEMINIST PERSPECTIVES

Abstract

This article proposes an analysis of the anthropocentric perspective of the environment - dominant on a global scale -, the different conceptions that are interwoven in this construction, and the particularities that it assumes in Latin America. Societies establish the affective inclinations of their agents through a regime of affectivity. The analysis is developed, then, putting special focus on the perceptions, representations and affectivities that are configured in relation to the environment; and its political, social and epistemological implications. This proposal takes conceptualizations coming from decolonial and ecofeminist currents, and invites us to rethink our own modes of affective organization, the bodily forms that the system aims to produce, as well as the diverse sensitive ways through which we can escape to create other relational affectivities.
