Resumo
O ensaio procura expor filosoficamente o conceito de xenocídio questionando a diferença entre cosmopolítica e cosmopolitismo enquanto políticas divergentes no que se refere aos modos de articulação entre humanidade e extra-humanidade. Em particular, o problema do estatuto ontológico-político da estrangeiridade extra-humana é desenvolvido através de uma comparação entre as figuras da “floresta sombria”, oriunda da ficção científica, e da “floresta de cristal”, derivada do xamanismo yanomami. Sua conclusão consiste em um breve comentário à refutação do paradoxo de Fermi pelo papagaio Amazona vittata na estória “O grande silêncio”, de Chiang.
Palavras-chave: Xenocídio; Cosmopolítica; Extra-humanidade.
Abstract
The essay seeks to expose philosophically the concept of xenocide by questioning the difference between cosmopolitics and cosmopolitanism as divergent policies as regards to the modes of articulation between humanity and extra-humanity. In particular, the problem of the ontological-political status of extra-human foreignness is developed through a comparison between the figures of the “dark forest”, derived from the science fiction, and of the “crystal forest”, from Yanomami shamanism. Its conclusion consists of a brief commentary on the refutation of Fermi’s paradox by the parrot Amazona vittata in Chiang’s story “The Great Silence.”
Keywords: Xenocide; Cosmopolitics; Extra-humanity.
