Summary:

"To accompany the 2021 Amazonia Festival edition, CULTURESCAPES publishes Amazonia: Anthology as Cosmology, a book devoted to Amazonia, its peoples, allies, and nonhuman spirits, and their myriad material and immaterial practices, from certain cosmopolitics and visual languages to past and present forms of resistance. In all their various lines (and circles) of ecological and epistemological thought, the artists, elders, writers, theorists, shamans, curators, poets, and activists whose ideas, images, and struggles comprise this book, are concerned with Amazonia as both a place and a point of view. Through their weave of voices, myths, ancestors, and territories, and all their radical subjectivities, we understand language in this anthology in an extended sense: as testimony, textile, painting, river, forest, animal, ancestor, song, spirit, and sacred medicine. Amazonia: Anthology as Cosmology enquires into decolonial feminisms and Indigenous temporalities, externalized memory and erasure, sacred plants in the shadow of pandemic, corporate-state extractivism and systemic violence, the activist possibilities of the mythic imagination, and the common visual matrixes of the Amazonian universe. The anthology also weighs the Western imaginary of the Amazon, both its colonial roots in racial capitalism, and its corporate, technological, paternalistic present. Centered, however, is Amazonia itself, in all its many and numinous worlds and languages--visual, oral, botanical, ancestral, cosmological--by which it becomes narrated, passed on, and then narrated again."--From publisher.
