Abstract

What if, instead of insisting on visions that try to annihilate everything that is foreign to us, we decided, when we find ourselves in the ruins of the Anthropocene, to stay with the problem of a terrestrial coexistence with other beings – human and non-human –, including viruses? What could we learn with them? I propose, in these brief speculative fables woven in an essayistic way, that we think of ways to bring forward the end of death-worlds and then fable-go viral with other worlds-of-life-and-desire that are possible. In this way, with the theoretical-referential contribution of authors such as Ailton Krenak, Donna Haraway and Suely Rolnik, I seek to think about what we can learn from viruses and ways of infecting our affections and becoming with these microorganisms as resistances and re-existences in the middle of the capitalist colonial system.
