GUADARRAMA GONZALEZ, Pablo e MARTINEZ DALMAU, Rubén. Indigenous Peoples' Cosmologies of Nature and Their Influence on Constitutionalism. Novum Jus [online]. 2023, vol.17, n.2, pp.171-191. Epub 22-Nov-2023. ISSN 1692-6013. https://doi.org/10.14718/novumjus.2023.17.2.7.
The paper analyses certain indigenous peoples' cosmologies of nature as significant references in contemporary constitutionalism. The problem was raised of how some recent normative decisions, particularly constitutions, have considered indigenous peoples' cosmologies of nature and thus introduced them to the ecocentric approach. To achieve the general purpose of the research, some of the myths of these peoples were analyzed, as well as studies of constitutions, laws, and constitutional rulings where this influence can be seen.
Their findings highlight that such cosmologies have impacted contemporary constitutionalism by reconsidering the dangers of the predominant anthropocentric perspective of Western civilization. In recent years, given the evident effects of climate change, the criteria for these cosmologies have been reassessed, and there has been a growing interest in learning more about their ecocentric proposals.
