Abstract

The Iberá Wetlands -Corrientes Province, Argentina- is a laboratory for exploring the connections between ecology, culture, and justice central to the epistemological framework of the Global South, based on theories that circulate within its paradigm. These, in turn, find echo in poetic proposals emerging from the very heart of the Wetlands, embodied by the metaphysical and surrealist poetry of Francisco Madariaga, a poet and son of this particular aquatic geography. These interconnections and transfers between global theories and local poetics are presented and proposed as possible strategies for a better understanding of current phenomena from a local perspective, determined by the particular intertwining of the human and the nonhuman within the framework of the Capitalocene.
