The book gathers the results of research conducted for almost a decade in the incomparable natural setting of the Chambira River basin: a biocultural landscape of great importance for the western Amazon and the planet. The volume represents the multidisciplinary and collaborative work carried out with the communities, whose purpose is to better understand the dynamics that govern the floodable ecosystems in the territory of the Urarina people and their relationships with non-human ecosystems.
Fernando Santos-Granero e Emanuele Fabiano, eds. (2023) Urban Imaginaries in Native Amazonia: Tales of Alterity, Power, and Defiance. Tucson: The University of Arizona Press.
Urban life has long intrigued Indigenous Amazonians, who regard cities as the locus of both extraordinary power and danger. Cities have thus become models for the representation of extreme alterity under the guise of other-than-human enchanted cities. This volume seeks to analyze how these ambiguous urban imaginaries—complex representations that function as cognitive tools and blueprints for social action—express a singular view of cosmopolitical relations, how they inform and shape forest-city interactions, and what were the historical processes through which they came into existence.
