Indigenous Translocality: Emergent Cosmogonies in the New World Order
2020 | Bernard Perley
“Indigenous peoples have endured the transformative processes of colonization that resulted in varying degrees of eradication, relocation, and transformation of their communities, ecosystems, and cosmogonies. Settler-colonial erasing of Indigenous worlds has initiated over 500 years of Indigenous translocalizing strategies that enabled surviving Indigenous communities to reconfigure ancestral worlds into contemporary emergent cosmogonies. These survival strategies offer the world’s populations a hopeful model of adaptation to the looming catastrophes of global warming and environmental disasters. This article reconceptualizes translocality in order to offer a corrective imaginary to remediate the slow violence of colonial imaginaries of progress and to promote hopeful futures.”

In this article we undertake an in-depth book review of Silvia Federici’s Caliban and the Witch to demonstrate how the rise of a division between the productive and reproductive realm, engendered in part through the witch hunts, is a founding condition of the Anthropocene.”
