Overview
- Reaches beyond anecdotic and identity-bound attention accorded to Amazon studies and criticism of indigenous literature in general, in order to incorporate them not only as objects of high theory and speculative reflection but also as loci and subjects producing theory relevant to pressing contemporary issues
- Situates Plant Theory and related research in the concrete and also highly symbolical, contentious scenario of postcolonial conflict and ecological exigencies of the Amazon
- Showcases paradigm-shifting works and discussions from Eduardo Viveiros de Castro, César Calvo, Pedro Favaron, and Emanuele Coccia that until now have received marginal recognition in the Latin Americanist humanities
