FAVARON, Pedro  y  HAYA DE LA TORRE, José Agustín. Chonon Bensho’s Poetics of Territory. Interpret. Rev. herméneut [online]. 2023, vol.8, n.1, pp.21-57.  Epub 12-Mayo-2023. ISSN 2448-864X.  https://doi.org/10.19130/irh.2023.1.021x54s0073.

This article attempts to understand the poetry of the Shipibo-Konibo artista and poet Chonon Bensho (Santa Clara de Yarinacocha Native Community, Ucayali Region, Peru, 1992), first, in relation with the problems that arise around the inequalities established by the hegemonic thinking of modernity regarding the valuation of orality and writing. From this problematic, and the attempts to overcome it, we analyze the aspirations and resignifications of Chonon’s poetic challenge in the broader context of the irruption of indigenous poets, artists, and thinkers in the national public space and in academic-artistic institutions. After these contextual reflections, the visionary epistemology and multinaturalist ontology of Chonon’s poetry and its relationship with the ancestral territory will be interpreted, and finally, as a conclusion, the possibility of this poetic proposal to question a civilization traversed by ecological concerns and the negative consequences of its ecocide practices.

Palabras llave : Chonon Bensho; Shipibo-Konibo; contemporary indigenous poetry; oralitura; Amerindian ecopoetry.
