The narrative of anticipation is thus positioned as a favorite textual type, which uses futuristic speculation to reflect on the present. This article aims to interrogate the relationship of the human being with nature as an other and its modes of connection —exploitation and representation— in a Latin American corpus that grants agency to the earth system to the detriment of the Anthropocene. With an interdisciplinary methodological approach that combines ecocriticism, postcolonial studies and new materialisms, a series of texts will be analyzed that postulate the importance of thinking about ways of life outside the Western paradigm —capitalist and anthropocentrist— where nature regains its agency as an active subject. We will thus contemplate environmental concerns, representation and power between human and non-human agencies. Our objective will then be to collect regularities in Latin American anticipatory thinking about human becoming and the natural environment that call into question our link with nature, bodies and non-human materialities. La incertidumbre por el futuro ha dado como resultado, a lo largo de los años, una prolífica producción textual que se interroga sobre el devenir de la humanidad y la sociedad. La narrativa de anticipación se posiciona, así, como un tipo textual predilecto, que utiliza la especulación futurista para reflexionar sobre el presente. Este artículo se propone interrogar la relación del ser humano con la naturaleza como un otro y sus modos de vinculación —explotación y representación— en un corpus latinoamericano que otorga agenciamiento al sistema tierra en detrimento del Antropoceno. Con un enfoque metodológico interdisciplinario que conjuga ecocrítica, estudios poscoloniales y nuevos materialismos, se analizará una serie de textos que postulan la importancia de pensar formas de vida por fuera del paradigma occidental —capitalista y antropocentrista— donde la naturaleza recobra su agencia como sujeto activo. Contemplaremos así preocupaciones ambientales, de representación y poder entre las agencias humanas y no-humanas. Nuestro objetivo será, entonces, recoger regularidades en el pensamiento anticipatorio latinoamericano sobre el devenir humano y del medio natural que ponen en tela de juicio nuestro vínculo con la naturaleza, los cuerpos y las materialidades no-humanas.

The uncertainty about the future has resulted, over the years, in a prolific textual production that questions the future of humanity and society. The narrative of anticipation is thus positioned as a favorite textual type, which uses futuristic speculation to reflect on the present. This article aims to interrogate the relationship of the human being with nature as an other and its modes of connection —exploitation and representation— in a Latin American corpus that grants agency to the earth system to the detriment of the Anthropocene. With an interdisciplinary methodological approach that combines ecocriticism, postcolonial studies and new materialisms, a series of texts will be analyzed that postulate the importance of thinking about ways of life outside the Western paradigm —capitalist and anthropocentrist— where nature regains its agency as an active subject.
