| Sumario: | Leaving aside the debates that have been waged on the theoretical and methodological viability of the ontological turn, what happens when these ontologies are applied in contexts that are not Amerindian? Or how does the distinction between nature and culture come into question in metropolitan urban environments? It is precisely these issues that María Carman's book Las fronteras de lo humano deals with, addressing how certain contemporary ecological and environmentalist movements proclaim a view of the Earth that is very close to the ontological perspective of indigenous peoples. The author states this in the introduction, when she points out that these movements make the biocentric posture their banner of struggle. It is from this biocentrism that she explores the environmental experiences of two socially opposed urban groups: the inhabitants of the riverside slums in the city of Buenos Aires, who are evicted because of their condition as environmental victims, and a middle-class animalist group that fights against the carriage drivers who "martyr" the horses. |
