| Sumario: | When it comes to environmental thinking, the translations currently in circulation outline a world unequally centered on the English-speaking West. In such situation, the challenge is not only to decenter the world we think about by pluralizing languages, but also, through indigenous languages, to do justice to the a priori untranslatable aspects of nature, that so often go unnoticed. We may then be able to appreciate just how many signs – however non-human – are to be found in the living realm. Plurilingualism, insofar as it focuses on the plurality of human languages and their diverse ways of thinking about the earth alien to the great divide between nature and culture, may provide an initiation to other than human languages, that is to the diverse ways in which the living beings signify and tell stories that still need to be listened to, which is something quite different from reinventing our own. |
