Justicia epistémica en el discurso de la activista indígena Tania Pariona Tarqui = Epistemic justice in the discourse of indigenous activist Tania Pariona Tarqui

This contribution examines how discursive frameworks grounded in ancestral cosmovisions, which are inreasingly informing most ecofeminist and anti-capitalist movements in the Global North, are articulated in the discourse of Indigenous activist Tania Pariona Tarqui.Responding to the global need to rethink bodies and territories as sites of productive and reproductive exploitation, contemporary Latin American feminist thought (cf. Gargallo Celentani 2014; Segato 2016; Gago 2019) has contributed to the development of practices of activism and mobilisation that challene the intertwined crises of the Anthropocene and neoliberalism. Inspired both by the notion of decoloniality (Quijano 1991), and by an epistemological turn towards ancestrality, these practices promote a relational understanding of the human being as part of nature rather tan separate from it, thereby converging with posthuman thought and its critique of the nature-culture divide (Latour 1993; Plumwood 1993; Pennycook 2018; Braidotti 2021). Drawing on the discourse analisis of an interview with Tania Pariona Tarqui, this article examines how the affirmation of Indigenous identity and the recovery of ancestral linguistic and epistemological memories are articulated through distinct discursive frameworks that construct a collective and intersectional form of agency capable of challenging the legitimacy of hegemonic systems of knowledge. It argues that these frameworks contribute to the articulation of a project of epistemic justice which, while grounded in a situated local context, challenges the global epistemic order.
