Trees and rainfall are related. Everybody knows that. But, to what
extent? A climate scientist and a shaman claim that Amazonian trees
are determining atmospheric dynamics on a global scale. But are they
really talking about the same forest? The same rain? The same world?
This talk engages with what has been presented in the vocabulary of
the recent ontological turn as being incommensurable anthropological
differences. Aníbal G. Arregui assesses this discussion and the role
of its new actors against the backdrop of climate change and environmental degradation. /
