INVITATION | Friday of the Month (@sextadomes) invites everyone to the September themed panel!
Theme: "Indigenous Cosmopolitics of Care"
Cosmopolitics here can be understood both as a theoretical instrument and as a practice of intervention in the real world. More than a simple reaction to illness, this meeting focuses on the idea of care as a plural production, understood as a dynamic process that articulates cosmological, physical, psychological, and spiritual dimensions. It is within this movement, but not limited to it, that collectives develop their own strategies of reception, protection, territorial recognition, translation, and cultural mediation. In this edition, topics such as Indigenous health and medicine, the production and circulation of knowledge, therapeutic pluralism, techniques and material handling, the poetics of oral performance, and the very notion of "cure" will be explored, highlighting how, in contemporary times, care has become not only a therapeutic practice, but also a field of creativity and affirmation of life and autonomy in its different modes of existence.
The purpose of this Friday of the Month panel is to reflect on the different ways in which Indigenous collectives manage their care networks, aligning practices, knowledge, and technologies in a world that recognizes the plurality of beings and agents in decision-making on issues that affect shared life. Thus, several questions emerge: What challenges do Indigenous cultural center initiatives pose to state mechanisms and to research agendas themselves? How do Indigenous knowledge regimes destabilize the institutionalized debate on care? And what are the challenges and propositions that Indigenous women are challenging?
