Die ontologische Wende
Indigene Kosmologien und die Dekolonisierung des Seins
[The Ontological Turn. Indigenous Cosmologies and the Decolonization of Being]

Indigenous peoples around the world are asserting their rights. They are fighting against colonial exploitation as well as modernity’s increasingly unstable institutions, ways of thinking, theories, and practices. The authors of the ontological turn read these struggles as a ‘cosmopolitical’ conflict between worlds that can harbor very different ontologies and natures, rather than merely as a clash of cultures. In recent decades, a wide-ranging international debate has emerged regarding the possibilities and meanings of such a ‘pluriverse.’ This volume serves as an introduction to that debate. It features texts by Philippe Descola, David Graeber, Bruno Latour, Isabelle Stengers, Marilyn Strathern, and Eduardo Viveiros de Castro. (Publisher’s blurb)
