Antropoceno, colonialidade e o internacional moderno

Anthropocene, coloniality and the modern international

Resumo

The article discusses how the Anthropocene and coloniality are politically inserted in the construction of the modern international and the implications of this process for the education and theorization in International Relations. This is a deductive and theoretical research that is divided into three sections: the first section presents the concepts of anthropocene and homogenization and observes their (geo)necropolitics nature; the second presents the logic of homogenization as an instrument of the coloniality of power, capitalism and modernity and proposes to rethink these last concepts taking into account new analytical objects and theoretical horizons; from the paradigms of modernity, the third section discusses the disregard of difference to the detriment of globalizing/modernizing perspectives and the need to think of alternative theories to this logic of modernity. In the end, the article points out the importance and obstacles to overcome the problems and the dominant paradigms of the discipline of International Relations in an exercise of political and epistemological resistance, observing subaltern perspectives and ontological pluralities.
