Hoy viajamos a Colombia y lo hacemos a través de la mirada y la pluma de un joven escritor, de tan solo 21 años, que ha sorprendido a la crítica con su primer libro ‘Fue al navegar. El país que descubrí en los ríos', escritor novel. Felipe Morris fue el más joven de la última Feria de Libro de Bogotá, una de las ferias más importantes de la región. Bogotano, Felipe Morris se ha formado en el Liceo francés, ha estudiado en Cambridge y Washington. Es además muy consciente de ser un privilegiado en un país con grandes desigualdades como es Colombia. Un privilegiado también porque tuvo la oportunidad, y este libro de eso habla, de viajar con su padre, el reconocido periodista Hollman Morris, para conocer zonas de Colombia que no había pisado nunca. “Fue al navegar. El país que descubrí en los ríos”, publicado por la editorial Icono, con ilustraciones del caricaturista Matador, reúne 14 crónicas. Una especie de diario de viaje por la geografía colombiana recorrida durante cuatro años. El primero lo realiza en diciembre de 2020, al Chocó, a Bahía Solano, en el oeste colombiano. Ahí se va a enfrentar a una de las duras realidades de Colombia, el del desplazamiento forzado de comunidades indígenas por la actividad de grupos armados. Lo hace gracias a la historia de Lisandro. Adolescente de 16 años en ese momento dice: "Entendí que algo en mí había cambiado, que ya no estaba en el mismo lugar". Efectivamente, "ese primer viaje me cambió por completo y fue también una aventura, estar en una zona pesada", cuenta Morris. Son muchos viajes en estos cuatro años, La Guajira, Barranquilla, Santa Cruz de Mompos, Cali. El Felipe Morris de la primera página, ya no es el mismo del Felipe de la última, cuatro años después de haber conocido realidades muy distintas con toda su belleza y su violencia: "Creo que Felipe en cada página va a ser un Felipe distinto desde el momento en el que se sube a un avión, desde que embarca en una canoa... Uno de los viajes que más me transformó como persona y desde un punto de vista ideológico fue el de Cali, porque logré estar en el epicentro de la protesta de Latinoamérica, el paro nacional de 2021 y fue una ruptura total entre ser un privilegiado y ver una realidad que hasta el día de hoy me sigue generando reflexiones y momentos también angustiosos. Ese fue quizás el viaje que más me enseñó de ver en qué país estaba parado, bajo qué circunstancias y qué se podía hacer", recuerda. Si ese momento fue fundador, "hay varias personas y momentos que alteraron mi forma de pensar. Recuerdo una frase con la cual incluso han descrito el libro que es 'el fascismo se cura leyendo y el racismo se cura viajando'. Y esa ha sido la cura perfecta para para mí, viajar por Colombia." Además de las ilustraciones del caricaturista Matador, los relatos de Morris van acompañados de una banda sonora, que concluye cada episodio: "La idea de la banda sonora surge porque las canciones me transportan más que los olores, más que las fotos. Las canciones me logran llevar a un momento específico y pensé que era una buena idea mostrar cuál es mi gusto musical y qué canciones estaba escuchando en ese momento o qué canciones incluyo para reflexionar". Felipe Morris propone una experiencia inmersiva para llevar al lector a esos rincones a donde él pudo acceder durante esos cuatro años, cuando dejó de lado los videojuegos para entrar a pies juntillas en el mundo real. Los viajes del autor no se acaban aquí. Su próximo proyecto, en francés y en español, contará los pasos de Simón Bolivar. "Historias que van desde Colombia, Venezuela, México, Estados Unidos, Europa y muy pronto en África". #EscalaenParís también está en redes sociales Un programa coordinado por Florencia Valdés, realizado por Souheil Khedir y Vanessa Loiseau.

¿Sabías que a casi 9000 kilómetros de distancia músicos flamencos y músicos jarochos tocan, quizás sin saberlo, falsetas o variaciones muy similares o incluso idénticas? Esto ocurre cuando se toca a la guitarra la guajira flamenca en España o al requinto el jarabe loco jarocho allá por Veracruz en México.

Today on Speaking Out of Place I am delighted to be in conversation with Azucena Castro and Malcom Ferdinand. We start with a discussion of what Ferdinand calls the “double fracture”—the environmental division of humans from their connection to the biosphere, and the colonial division instantiated by white supremacism and patriarchy. He insists that we not see these two phenomena as separate, rather as intimately connected. This double fracture makes any attempts to solve either environmental violence or colonial violence ineffective. In her foreword to Ferdinand's Decolonial Ecologies, Angela Y. Davis writes that as she read the book, she “recognized how perfectly his conceptualizations illuminate the frameworks we need for both philosophical and popular understandings of our planetary conditions today.” In our conversation we spend some time talking about how art, film, and poetry can manifest some of those frameworks, and we are delighted have Azucena take us into a deep discussion of this, and also to read two poems in Spanish and then in English translation and have Malcom gloss them for us. Azucena Castro is assistant professor at Rice University in Houston. Currently, she is a Swedish Research Council Postdoctoral Researcher at the Stockholm Resilience Center, Faculty of Science, Stockholm University. She held positions as a Postdoctoral Researcher in Latin American and Caribbean cultures at Stanford University and cultural geography at the Institute of Geography, University of Buenos Aires. Her scholarly work focuses on 20th and 21st-century Latin American cultural products through the lens of climate and energy justice, multispecies resistance, and anti-extractivist critique in the artivist scenes of South America, particularly, Southern Cone and Brazil. Azucena is the author of the book Poetic Postnatures. Ecological Thinking and Politics of Strangeness in Contemporary Latin American Poetry, Series SubAtlantic at De Gruyter (2025). She has edited the volume Futuros multiespecie. Prácticas vinculantes para un planeta en emergencia (Bartlebooth. Critical Spaces, 2023), and co-edited the Essay Cluster “GeoSemantics: Earthly Memories and Inhuman Becomings in the Global South” at ASAP/Journal. As part of her engagement with community-based research and collaborative filmmaking, she has co-developed the energy justice project “No aire, no te vendas” (Penn Environmental Humanities, University of Pennsylvania) focusing on winds in ancient cosmologies and human communities in the Afro-Wayúu territories of La Guajira, Colombia in the intersection of old and green extractivism.Malcom Ferdinand is an environmental engineer from University College London and doctor in political philosophy from Université Paris Diderot. He is now a researcher at the CNRS (IRISSO/University Paris Dauphine). At the crossroad of political philosophy, postcolonial theory and political ecology, his research focuses on the Black Atlantic and particularly the Caribbean. He explores the relations between current ecological crises and the colonial history of modernity. He published a book based on his PhD dissertation entitled Decolonial Ecology: Thinking of Ecology from the Caribbean World.( Polity 2021) that challenges classical environmental thoughts. He recently published an in-depth study of the pesticide contamination of martinique and Guadeloupe entitled S'aimer la Terre: défaire l'habiter colonial ( Seuil 2024).
