The Amazonian Social Relation to Nature: A Digital Variable Pathway Resource
Our project is an original interpretation of the Amazonian social relation to nature organized into short chapters presented digitally. These will be linked to more than 100 short three-to-five-minute videos of origin stories, songs and testimonies that exemplify this relation to nature.
The videos capture poignant narratives or beautiful singing in the Amazonian Kichwa, Achuar and Wao Tedero languages with subtitles in English and Spanish. These, like the analysis chapters, will be stand-alone pieces with their own interpretive apparatus. Each will be variously linked so that they build on each other through flexible viewing or reading pathways.
