Presentation long abstract

Since the adoption of the Paris Agreement, the understanding of the Amazon has undergone profound transformations. The region is, now presented both as a complex problem and a vital planetary solution and geopolitical significance. This paper proposes that we think of the Amazon region not merely as a geographic territory to be preserved or defended, but as a dynamic transterritorial space where power operates in new ways. Informed by authors from the Global South, studying the transformations of neoliberal forms of rule, we examine how Amazonian region is being governmentalized. The paper details how transnational flows of actors and governmental technologies can suppress differences that operate outside the programmatic axis of neoliberal rationality, limiting the potential for diverse voices and practices. to shape life in the forest out of the climentality. Ultimately, this approach demonstrates how a twofold route is being pursued, with the government settling in the Amazon and simultaneously governing the climate regime.
