African Studies Global Virtual Forum: Decoloniality and Southern Epistemologies–Eduardo Kohn and Elizabeth Povinelli

"What kind of guidance can those worlds I call forests provide for living
well on Earth in times of planetary ecological trouble? I approach this
question as an anthropologist. That is, as someone
who is committed to cultivating forms of radical listening as I move
among modes of being that can, at times, dissolve me in my quest
to understand who I am amid a larger flow of life that vastly exceeds
me. Reflecting on my ongoing anthropological, and increasingly
collaborative, research in and around indigenous communities of
Ecuador’s Upper Amazon, and drawing on and distorting immersive
ethnographic technologies in the process, my goal is to use what I thus
might learn to help find a path that can orient us in our attempts to live
well in relation to the many kinds of others that make and hold us."
