Many worlds, many nature(s), one planet: indigenous knowledge in the Anthropocene

Abstract: This article explores the idea of many nature(s) and its implication for the studies of global environmental politics. It discusses the inadequacy of the nature-society dichotomy and argues for epistemological parity, as well as for the recovery of indigenous knowledge systems. Looking at indigenous knowledge uncovers many ways to consider nature and contributes to recast global environmental studies in the Anthropocene.

“…They point out, for example, the marginalisation of indigenous and local knowledge in understanding and addressing the governance challenges of global environmental change. Such knowledge, these scholars argue, is vital, however, in bringing a more holistic worldview of nature and of human-nature relationships in contrast to the dichotomies (human versus nature) produced by modernity (Inoue and Moreira 2016;Inoue and Tickner 2016;Parsons et al 2017). This is because many indigenous cultures place a higher value on the spiritual and non-material aspects of all living species than what is often represented by Western discourses and governance approaches (see also Kohler et al 2019).…”

“…This teaches IR that there is an unbreakable link between the social and natural spheres, an understanding that is fundamental if IR is to guide informed action in an epoch in which human actions are the dominant force driving global environmental change. Hence, IR will have to abandon one of the central organizing logics upon which much of its security discourse is built, i.e., the nature-society dichotomy (Fagan 2017;Inoue and Moreira 2016). Humanity is now a geological agent, so our security and survival depend on our own actions.…”

“…). As lutas das comunidades indígenas, afrodescendentes, camponesas e urbanas pobres são lutas ontológicas em defesa de seus muitos mundos(ESCOBAR, 2016;MIGNOLO, 2002) em um único planetaMOREIRA, 2016).Mais do que reconhecer esses mundos, poderíamos aprender com eles(SANTOS, 2016, p. 22). Outros sistemas de conhecimento podem oferecer novas possibilidades que o conhecimento científico não consegue prever, especialmente se a real possibilidade de ultrapassarmos os limites planetários(ROCKSTRÖM et al, 2009).…”
