Through an “erotics of the planetary”, Emanuele Coccia rejects the idea of an ecology of the planet in order to think through a sensitive Amazonia. Published in 2023 by the publishing company Cultura e Barbárie, Amazônia sensível does not try to describe or explain the Amazon, but rather to look at it as a community of dreams. From the lecture that the author gave at the Labverde22 - Art Immersion Program in the Amazon, an artistic residency in the city of Manaus, Amazonas, on October 22, 2022, the text is organized as a long speech about the Anthropocene of our apartments and the species we have as pets. He sees nature as a contemporary art museum and each species as a form of bio-performance in the forest. What would the world be like if, instead of identifying with a father and/or mother, we could have identified with a plant? I began to think about all of this when I stole a plant from the Rio Botanical Garden and embarked on another genealogy.
