Abstract
During the pandemic, the collapse of the San Rafael waterfall and the spill of thousands of barrels of crude oil has caused serious damage to aquatic ecosystems, a chain of catastrophes that affect the health and well-being of people. The Amazonian cosmologies that view the waterfalls as magnificent bodies that protect the lives that inhabit them, watch their death in amazement. In the dislocated landscape of the neoliberal Capitalocene whose precondition is the channeling of vital energy for the growth of capital, I observe how the de-corporalising fetishism of affects turns the work of the extended reproduction of life into financial figures. This is an ecofeminist reading of financializing dislocations and rebellious embodiments, insurrections that combine new kinships between diverse struggles. The challenge is an ecosystem look that displaces the sovereignty of the subject, a shamanic vision of double consciousness: historical materiality and material contiguity of the world.
