DEVENIR INDIO O VOLUNTAD DE NADA. LA “ELECCIÓN ONTOLÓGICA” EN EDUARDO VIVEIROS DE CASTRO Y RAY BRASSIER

Abstract

This article begins with the observation that the contemporary works of Brazilian anthropologist Eduardo Viveiros de Castro and French philosopher Ray Brassier encourage readers to engage in speculative reflections. These reflections promote a certain ontological choice or stance concerning the impact of modern human reasoning on the planet and our ability to envision emancipatory futures. This work suggests that, in response to a widespread crisis and the shortcomings of contemporary lifestyles, the authors being examined present two distinct ontological stances: "becoming indigenous," as proposed by Eduardo Viveiros de Castro, and "the will to nothingness," as articulated by Ray Brassier.
