Głęboka Ameryka (América profunda)

Wprowadzenie

Rodolfo Kusch, an Argentine philosopher, published América profunda in Buenos Aires in 1962. He reverses Sarmiento’s opposition of “civilisation and barbarism”: the cities of Latin America live by European ser, the urge to be someone and to master the world, while beneath them lives estar, a way of merely existing that is rooted in a particular soil and open to an unpredictable, sacred world. He reads this attitude in the writings and the cosmological drawing of the early 17th-century Andean chronicler Juan de Santa Cruz Pachacuti Yamqui. The city tries to clean away this world, but is slowly absorbed by it – a process Kusch calls fagocitación. Since the 2000s the book has been reread as a forerunner of decolonial thought.
