Por trás do silêncio Colonial do Wilderness "no aquilombamento reside a busca de um mundo"
Resumo
Qual é a relevância do conceito de wilderness hoje em dia? Para alguns, o reconhecimento de uma conturbada história do conceito de wilderness em relação às pessoas racializadas não diminui sua pertinência para enfrentar a crise ecológica. No entanto, o autor argumenta que o wilderness é problemático devido à sua incapacidade de reconhecer outras conceitualizações da Terra mantidas pelos povos indígenas e negros nas Américas e no Caribe. Como um exemplo, o autor se engaja criticamente em uma tentativa fracassada de acomodar experiências negras escravizadas dentro de uma perspectiva do wilderness, feita por Andreas Malm em um artigo de 2018 intitulado “In Wildness Is the Liberation of the World: On Maroon Ecology and Partisan Nature”. Paradoxicamente, ao sugerir que as experiências de espaços “selvagens” dos escravos fugitivos podem apontar para uma teoria marxista do wilderness, Malm ignora as preocupações dos quilombolas e dos povos indígenas, incluindo suas vozes teorizantes, sua ecologia e suas demandas por justiça. O wilderness é retratado como emancipatório com a condição de que os escravizados e os colonizados permaneçam em silêncio. Em resposta, o autor argumenta que não foi o “wilderness”, mas as engenhosas relações que os quilombolas alimentaram com estes bosques que criaram a possibilidade de um mundo: no aquilombamento reside a busca de um mundo.
