Research Project Mafe MoscosoDecolonising ethnofiction: a rebirth scenario for the collapse of the Mar Menor
al inicio era el futuro. al inicio era el futuro andino. al inicio era el futuro andino. al inicio era el futuro andino.
The questions that accompany me in this project aim to engage, using ethnofiction, two different cosmo-ontologies: one of my maternal lineage from Cotopaxi, province in Ecuador, and those of a group of scientists from Spain, related to the idea of the end of life. Following the collapse of the Mar Menor, I intend to explore a research methodology focused on experimentation: cuyr andean ethnofiction. The objective of my work is, on one hand, to develop a methodological reflection that will unfold during the writing process, focused on the act of decolonizing ethnofiction; and on the other hand, on the need to explore the fissures of Eurocentric binary scientific ontologies that separate: life/death and nature/culture. Considering the violent colonial history I bring together the idea that it is possible to open methodological thresholds of welcome and reception towards other ontologies and epistemologies, in this case, Andean ones, which are an opening to other worlds where the end of life is a restart.
