Settler Colonial ‘World-Making’ Myths in Argentina

Inspired by Tyrone Palmer’s critical exploration of relational affect and Worlding, Tamar Blickstein draws on her ethnographic fieldwork to unpack how settler colonists in the Argentine Chaco use World-making myths to build an identity as founders. She argues that this relational settler Worlding is predicated on an – equally fictive – absence or elimination of Indigenous Worlds.
