Abstract

This article presents the rudiments of a political ontology approach to the ethno-territorial struggles in Latin America.  Such struggles, it is argued, constitute strategies of the defence of relational worlds, and the knowledge developed in them by communities and activists embodies a far-sighted strategy for the perseverance and fostering of the pluriverse.
