Dissolving Nature and Culture:Indigenous Perspectivism in Political Ecology

[SanteriSatama]

I would say that colonialism is extremely local, as it has rather weak relation with non-local, multinaturalism and richer forms of time. The nature of colonialism is imposed by the coevolution relation that defines permanent agriculture. Couple annual hay plants using their human servants as tools to clear them more lebensraum, as their weapons in their 4ever war against forest. And bread is oh so yummy yummy, so nice with cheese and wine!

For me she's a friend, a fellow human being with the very endless wardrobe.

For Shu S/he is Lila dressed up as Maya like some alluring paramour of the oldest, indeed beginingless, vocation.

Take a look at Against the Grain. It's not about permanent agriculture, which also existed in Central Amazônia, but about cereal grain agriculture (and granaries), especially in locations of strong seasonal variation.

I believe I mentioned "annual hay plants" in the comment you commented. Terra preta is a chapter of it's own.

Yep. (We don't use the term 'hay plants') I just want to stress that it's not only about agriculture and settling down. The city-state/colonial-conquest pattern emerged from certain places/qualities. Manioc/Cassava does not require granaries. On a somewhat parallel theme of eco-context, are you familiar with Cannibals and Kings?

What term do you use? I'm speaking in gardener jargon, I guess.

are you familiar with Cannibals and Kings?

No. And I'm boycoting Amazon.

I believe 'hay' refers to grasses. The human foodstuff term in English is 'grains'.

No. And I'm boycoting Amazon.

I think it's about time to start leaving that old linear narrative at rest. Waiting for the posthumous book by Graeber.

What's the non-linear version of evolution?

There's been civilizations before this holocene, we don't know what they were like as they got drowned under the great flood; there's been parallel civilizations of many kinds, some of them just abandoned as people didn't like it. There are other natures with their own civilizations. Loads of weird and unknown.
