摘要：Bruce Albert defines The Falling Sky , written in partnership with Davi Kopenawa, as a “cosmopolitical manifesto”. I propose to read this book from Isabelle Stengers's “cosmopolitical proposal”, according to which the definition of politics as guaranteed by the existence of an immutable and inert Nature must be questioned. In The Falling Sky , one follow Kopenawa in his construction of a cosmopolitical discourse, in which the xapiri (“images” of beings of the “land-forest”) are fundamental agents and in which the word holds a particular status, revealing itself by different discursive modes, associated with specific affections and effects. Kopenawa contrasts the politics of the xapiri and of the “beautiful words" with the politics of the whites, with their disenchanted world and their entangled words. His chiefly speech – turning into a writing document – is a manifesto of resistance of the Yanomami people and also a moral lesson directed to the non-indigenous readers.
