| Sumario: | In their ways of accounting for the extractivist advance, the territorial dispossession and the extermination of the Ayoreo world, La memoria del monte (2018) and EAMI (2022) by the Paraguayan director Paz Encina propose an aesthetic of memory that dialogues with the conception of space of that native community. The work of memory assumes here a cosmopolitics that redefines the relationships between humans and more than humans in a given territory. Based on studies on new materialisms, reflections on Amerindian ontologies, sensory anthropology and the anthropology of sound, this essay seeks to discuss the ways in which Paz Encina’s exercises rearticulate the order of the sensible to include the expressiveness and agency of the “more than human”. In this article I am interested in showing that soundscapes put on stage a vibrant materialism of a world that “makes itself heard” and allows not only to transmit a memory of a territory in process of destruction but it also translates in aural terms the continuity between the forest as a geographical space and the forest as an ontological multiplicity full of relationships, perspectives and temporalities. |
