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.
