BELTRAN-BARRERA, Yilson J.. Biocoloniality: A Decolonial Genealogy. Nómadas [online]. 2019, n.50, pp.77-91. ISSN 0121-7550.  https://doi.org/10.30578/nomadas.n50a5.

This document addresses the debate regarding Foucault and coloniality with the purpose of creating a dialogue between these perspectives of power, which build the foundations of the understanding of biocoloniality as a decolonial genealogy. Subsequently, the article analyzes the discourses and practices regarding the protection of biodiversity as an object of analysis in previous works, in order to make the methodological use of biocoloniality explicit. Finally, it states that relationships of power over nature are constitutive and not derivative of the modern/ colonial world-system of gender.

Keywords : Biocoloniality; Coloniality of Nature; Biodiversity; Heterarchy; Decolonial Genealogy.
