Rita Segato: Patriarchy, extractivism and the objectification of life “Colonization, the West, whiteness taught us to see nature as a thing,” as a human resource, reflects Rita Segato. The extractivism carried out to this day has been possible and will remain active as long as we continue to understand the world as an object. The landscape and the elements of nature as appropriable. For Rita Segato, the present embodies a state of affairs that opens the debate on how we produce and how we consume. And also, an opportunity to reset reality and think of other possible ways of life through collective, communal exits. From Proyecto Ballena we asked Rita the question about the alternatives to this model. Recovering wisdom, ancestral thought and pre-Columbian spirituality appear as ways to oppose the objectification of the world and bodies. Buen Vivir is presented as a look at existence that has reminded us that ''we are within nature and exposed to its processes and cycles of life and death,'' adds Segato.
