During his visit to Adufes, where he held the Ancestral Future Conference on December 1, 2023, Ailton Krenak gave an interview to journalist Anderson Cacilhas, from the Union's Communications team. In it, Krenak – who is a philosopher of the forest, indigenous leader, writer and occupant of chair number 5 of the Brazilian Academy of Letters (ABL) – answers journalistic questions from another worldview, opposing the established capitalist logics that permeate the production of contemporary subjectivities. From this perspective, Krenak addresses the possibilities of building new worlds from other ancestral subjectivities that are not those sold by capitalism, abandoning the relationship with the world in which nature is seen as a resource and commodity. He also touches on the risks of humanity's extinction from what is being called technofeudalism. For him, there is enslavement of all people through technological advances. Furthermore, Krenak recalls that the demands of the common people are no longer considered in decisions about the direction of the world, causing life to no longer have value, and contextualizes the scenario he describes with what is happening in Espírito Santo. #Adufes #ufes #teachers #union #krenaknadufes #krenak #Indigenous #indigenouspeoples #originalpeoples #indigenousvillages #ecology #environmentalism #forest
