For Arturo Escobar, realities are plural and always in the making, and this manner of theorizing the world has profound political implications for imagining liberation and a world otherwise. The chapters, which were originally written as essays, point towards diverse ontologies - or modes of being in the world - and ultimately offer tools for thinking about what to do in our current planetary crisis, one driven by predatory global capitalism. Escobar moves us toward a pluriversal worldview, or a world where many worlds fit, and gestures at how we can find evidence of these possibilities in social movements, particularly Afro-Colombian and indigenous movements from Colombia. These indigenous movement leaders in Colombia problematize ontologies in defense of their territories, worlds, and modes of existing thereby destabilizing notions of the real and the possible. Most of the essays were originally written in Spanish between 2014 and 2017, and presented in contexts ranging from academic presentations to activist gatherings. Chapter 1 explores diverse examples of the real and the possible, such as those found in ancestral traditions and in other societies as well as those theorized by academics in attempts to destabilize the real. Chapter 2 proposes ways of thinking from the bottom and with the Earth, inspired by the revolutionary Mexican Zapatistas. In chapter 3 Escobar presents a discourse analysis of a statement by the Nasa people of the Northern Cauca region of Colombia to argue for the adoption of a Mother Earth Liberation concept / movement. Chapters 4 and 5, respectively, explore epistemologies of the South and autonomous social theory productions from Latin America. Chapter 6 considers the idea of "living beyond development" and examines relevant experiences in the resistance to development that provide a glimpse into other worlds while chapter 7 considers a radical sustainability strategy for Colombia given the current planetary crisis. Finally, chapter 8 imagines a different design for the ecologically devastated city of Cali, Colombia, a new design grounded in self-organization and the relationality of life. This book will be of interest to students and scholars in anthropology, social theory, and Latin American studies."-- Provided by publisher. 546 $a Translated from Spanish. 651 0 $a Latin America $x Politics and government $y 21st century. 650 0 $a Political culture $z Latin America. 650 0 $a Indigenous peoples $z Latin America $x Politics and government. 650 7 $a Indigenous peoples $x Politics and government. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00970250 650 7 $a Political culture. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01069263 650 7 $a Politics and government. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919741 651 7 $a Latin America. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01245945 650 7 $a Politik $2 gnd 650 7 $a Soziale Bewegung $2 gnd 650 7 $a Politische Anthropologie $2 gnd 650 7 $a Politische OÂkologie $2 gnd 650 7 $a Entwicklungsforschung $2 gnd 650 7 $a Nachhaltigkeit $2 gnd 650 7 $a Wertordnung $2 gnd 650 7 $a Pluralismus $2 gnd 650 7 $a Nord-SuÂd-Beziehungen $2 gnd 650 7 $a Erkenntnistheorie $2 gnd 650 7 $a Ontologie $2 gnd 650 7 $a Paez $2 gnd 651 7 $a Lateinamerika $2 gnd 651 7 $a Kolumbien $z West $2 gnd 648 7 $a 2000-2099 $2 fast 700 1 $a Frye, David L., $e translator. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Escobar, Arturo, 1951- $s Essays.
