Como vislumbrar os lugares no/do Plantationoceno?
Beyond the conceptual generalizations of the Anthropocene, the idea of the Plantationocene aims to put the topological character of the environmental and colonial fracture. Thus, the present essay seeks to problematize how the effects of the Plantationocene potentially spread out in worlds and places, generating situations of vulnerability. To do so, it employs a bibliographical revision articulated to a theoretical reflection that associates discussions of cosmopolitics, science and technology studies, decoloniality and environmental philosophy with the references of Cultural Geography. It identifies that the Plantationoceno might also be understood as a geographical condition that multiply situations of place’s precarity and vulnerability. This process transforms placeness into ends of the worlds that affect human and non-human existential dynamics, situating both in situations of survival amidst topocidic threats.
