| Resumo: | This essay is a possible commentary on Butler's recent book, What world is this? - A pandemic phenomenology, with regard to its points of contact with the theme of nature, environmental problems and caustic questions about climate change, which in one way or another are incorporated by the butlerian debate, especially in the ideas of precarity and recognition, emphasizing their ethical and political dimensions. Butler's political philosophy and the ontological propositions it constructs are fundamental for us to think about what we begin to conceive here as a sociology of nature, whose appropriate development we will do a posteriori. In this sense, we can understand the anthropocene within the contours of this theoretical critique, in the current social context, in which the covid pandemic still leaves its traces between humans and nature and alerts us to our contingency and finitude. |
