Quando Gaia irrompe no congresso: enchentes no RS e narrativas do Antropoceno e apesar dele

The Anthropocene event erupts, causing a series of changes in the onto-epistemological categories from which our discussions about the nature of visual and sound images have hitherto been based. Herewe present the first steps of a collective research program on the narratives of/in the Anthropocene. Initially conceived as a written version of the work produced to be presented at aconference, this essayreportson Gaia's intrusion into that same presentation. At first, we investigate the audiovisual narrative about climate change, but the experience of the floods in Rio Grande do Sul in 2024 went beyond the practices of everyday academic life, damaging the intended production of meaning and bringing out aspects of the imaginary at play in climate change.
