A classic of Brazilian literature is twinned with an overheated tract in which tropical delirium swallows up Western philosophy, attacking the decolonial question with poetic ferocity. A classic of Brazilian literature is twinned with an overheated tract in which tropical delirium swallows up Western philosophy. Both attack the decolonial question with poetic ferocity, ignited by the moment when colonialist rationality meets its limits in the "magnificent disorder" of the Amazon jungle.
Described in Eduardo Viveiros de Castro's foreword as "no longer an
interpretation of Brazil but an
interpenetration with Brazil," Jean-Christophe Goddard's strange theory-fiction plunges Western philosophy into the great American schizophrenia, where its ordered categories are devored by uncontainable contaminations--first and foremost the rainforest itself, a "monstrosity unapproachable by the cogito."
In 1664, the Portuguese Bento de Espinosa wrote of his terrifying hallucination of "a scabby black Brazilian." But rather than a vision of "the Other," the dream figure was a frightful glimpse of Bento's own duplicity. Upon adopting the "clean white nickname" of Benedict de Spinoza, the philosopher cut ties with his homeland and its colonial misadventures, repudiating this specter that flees along the lines of migration: "Spinoza is American ... the journey is intensive." And in his wake, a cannibalized cast of conceptual personae are sucked into Goddard's Pernambucan delirium: Franny Deleuze, Dina Levi-Strauss, Chaya Ohloclitorispector, Galli Mathias...
The rainforest also precipitates a deregulation of the senses in
Verdant Inferno, Alberto Rangel's classic 1904 work of Brazilian literature. In Rangel's astonishing tales, this "poet-engineer" sent into the dark interior as a state representative records his encounters in a style that shimmers between objective documentary and visionary limit experience.

巴西文學的經典作品與一篇熱情洋溢的論文相結合，其中熱帶的狂熱吞噬了西方哲學，以詩意的激烈方式攻擊去殖民化問題。
這本書描述了巴西文學的經典作品與一篇熱情洋溢的論文相結合，其中熱帶的狂熱吞噬了西方哲學。兩者以詩意的激烈方式攻擊去殖民化問題，這一切源於殖民主義理性在亞馬遜叢林的「壯麗混亂」中達到極限的那一刻。
在愛德華多·維韋羅斯·德·卡斯特羅的前言中，這本書被描述為「不再是對巴西的解釋，而是與巴西的相互滲透」。讓·克里斯多夫·戈達爾的奇特理論小說將西方哲學投入到偉大的美洲精神分裂症中，其中有序的範疇被無法控制的污染所吞噬，首先是雨林本身，一個「無法被我思考所接近的怪物」。
1664年，葡萄牙人本托·德·埃斯皮諾薩描述了他對「一個長滿疹子的黑人巴西人」的可怕幻覺。但這個夢中的人物並不是「他者」的視覺，而是本托自己的雙重性的可怕一瞥。當哲學家採用「乾淨的白人綽號」本尼迪克特·斯賓諾莎時，他切斷了與祖國及其殖民冒險的聯繫，拒絕了這個沿著遷徙路線逃竄的幽靈：「斯賓諾莎是美洲人...旅程是密集的。」在他的腳步之後，一群被戈達爾的佩爾南布科的狂熱所吸引的概念人物被吸入其中：弗蘭尼·德勒茲、迪娜·勒維-史特勞斯、查亞·奧洛克利托里斯佩克托爾、加利·馬蒂亞斯...
雨林還在阿爾貝托·蘭格爾的經典作品《翠綠地獄》中引發了感官的解調。這本巴西文學的1904年經典作品中，這位「詩人工程師」作為一名政府代表被派往黑暗的內陸地區，以一種在客觀紀錄和幻視極限體驗之間閃爍的風格記錄他的遭遇。
作者簡介
Alberto Rangel (1871-1945) was a prolific Brazilian writer who, as secretary of lands, mines, navigation, and colonization of the Amazonas State Government, recorded his experiences in the collections
Inferno verde (1908) and
Sombras n'água (1913). From 1907 to 1942, because of his adoption of anti-republican ideas, he lived in self-imposed exile in Europe during the two world wars, returning to Brazil in 1942.
Jean-Christophe Goddard is a professor in philosophy at Université Toulouse-Jean Jaurès. He has published a number of works on post-Kantian German Idealism and twentieth-century French philosophy. For the last twelve years his work has focused on decolonial and feminist critical theory, contemporary African philosophy, and Amazonian counter-anthropology.
Eduardo Viveiros de Castro is an internationally recognized Brazilian anthropologist whose work focuses on the indigenous peoples of the Amazon and the development of a decolonial anthropology through the concepts of "perspectivism" and the "extramodern." The author of
Cannibal Metaphysics,
From the Enemy's Point of View, and
The Ends of the World (with Déborah Danowski), he is currently Professor of Anthropology at the National Museum of the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro.
