SUMMARY:

From plantations to latifundia, the systematic model of depreciation and compulsory takeover of plant space, and everything with which it is related, "necessarily produces ecocides" (BONA, 2020, p. 6). The driving force of capitalism, by nature, is based on advanced necropolitics (MBEMBE, 2018b), where power is built through the suppression of lives and the precariousness of the social relationship of subjects. Forests, as autonomous ecosystems integrated with other orders, historically refuge their own knowledge, specific knowledge and other forms of life. And, more structurally historical, they shelter alternative spaces for survival (Quilombos, Palenques, Maroons) and life outside the capitalist axis (traditional communities). Not unpretentiously, colonial morphology involves processes (MUDIMBE, 2019, p. 18) of land seizure, systematic modification of natural space, occupation of territories, social domination of subjects, by institutions (Academy, Church, etc.) and social theories (The Lumières, Eugenics, etc.), and also the structural depreciation of knowledge and notions distinct from traditional knowledge (CÉSAIRE, 1955). It is, therefore, not just an ecocide, but a cosmocide (LABOU TANSI, 1979). In this sense, any questioning made in the name of ecology, or even an analysis of constant environmental threats, must take into account a critical history of the continuous relations of human societies in interaction with their peers and their ontological dissimilarities, therefore considering, aspects such as colonialism, racism and sexism, as founding elements of a certain ecological crisis (FERDINAND, 2022). In the fictional literature, there are some narratives that prefigure social domination inside, outside, through and for the forests. The aim is to evaluate, in these fictional narratives, the context of colonial social domination (cosmocide), the knowledge of the traditional communities prefigured in them, with regard to plants and plant spaces (cosmogonies about plants) and the social history of affected and resistant communities and spaces, relating them to a certain decolonial ecology.
