BookOunce: a book concept in Indigenous America

Abstract

The text is arranged in four dialogical moments: i) a (re)introduction of a bibliographic and countercultural becoming-America, obliterated in the erasures of colonial scriptures, ii) an archeology of the concept of book from the advent in the ancient Greek world of the anthropos as a giver of psychic-corporal form to the alphabetic graphics of the West, iii) the exposition of bookOunce as a possible book by Abya Yala, present in the semiophagias of difference (différOunce) of American grammatologies, and, finally, iv) the last textual moment addresses the finicial enchantments, a present end as the cessation of the absolute, disenchanted and finished condition of the Western book that is enchanted through the ancestral (re)beginning, the deification of things and the fabrication of life by the Amerindian writings of the peoples of Terra Viva, also known as Amoxtlapan, land of living books. Faced with a theoretical perspective of argumentation, the text walks through the terran assemblages of geophilosophy proposed by Deleuze and Guattari and the deconstructive spacetime deferral of the book proposed by Derrida, however, with a difference, both methods are devoured by multinatural perspectives of the Amerindian peoples. To jaguarize the book, this is the ouncelogical objective of the text.
