decolonisation of knowledge - Opis:
- This article investigates to what extent the concept of Anthropocene allows for grasping the specificity of particular ecosystems and their complex histories. The point of focus here is the Upper Mississippi River Valley and a set of historical and contemporary discourses coalescing around it. Starting with the early travelogues and incorporating modern mapping attempts, a popular classic monograph by Calvin R. Fremling and the contemporary documenting projects such as Mississippi. An Anthropocene River and The American Bottom, the article traces the discursive discontinuities that may provide the ground for conceiving the alternative histories of the Anthropocene, more inclusive of indigenous knowledge, open to multiple knowledge registers, and transcending beyond the Eurocentric models of rationalism supporting the economy of extraction. To this end, a new understanding of relational ontologies is suggested following the notion of other-than-human persons as proposed by anthropologists interested in revisiting the basic tenets of animism and laying foundations for new animism (while taking various aspects of indigenous knowledge into account). Tapping into the concept of Place-Thought, the essay proposes an effective decolonisation of the discussion on the Anthropocene.
