Indigenous cosmologies are mobilized as a counter-epistemology to Western modernity’s foundational split between “nature” and “culture,” exposing how scientific rationality, property regimes, and extractivist development produce the Anthropocene as a spiritual-material war against relational life. Krenak’s performative and oral modes of address (from mourning body-paint to shamanic narration) function as biopolitical and aesthetic tactics that reframe forests as living monuments/archives, indict colonial-state violence and urban “sustainability” as ideological traps, and propose perspectivism, reciprocity, and world-making storytelling as practices that defer apocalypse.

Indigenous ecological knowledge is figured as a living kinship between seed, soil, language, and childhood, where care for biodiversity is inseparable from the social reproduction of peasant life and place-based memory. Settler-colonial enclosure and militarized agro-capitalism are critiqued as necropolitical forces that erase both people and ecosystems, while “green” food movements and ethical consumption are indicted for depoliticizing sustainability and laundering violence through romanticized narratives of biodiversity.
