This essay undertakes a review of recent books by T.J. Demos (Decolonizing Nature: Contemporary Art and the Politics of Ecology (2016) and Against the Anthropocene: Visual Culture and Environment Today (2017)) and Jens Andermann (Tierras en trance: Arte y naturaleza después del paisaje (Lands Entranced: Art and Nature after Landscape, 2018)). Demos and Andermann participate in the paradigm shift taking place under the name of eco-criticism, forging connections between the debates around environmental crisis and the fields in which they have written and published previously - art criticism and visual culture and Latin American literary and cultural studies, respectively. Both authors take on the challenge of thinking through the perceptual and conceptual habits that have dominated a relationship to our environment under capitalist modernity (such as the concept of landscape) and how artistic practices might be said to rework those habits. While Demos maps recent efforts to engage ecological concerns and “decolonize nature” across the globe, Andermann looks back to the twentieth century Latin American archive, constructing a local genealogy that harbors an ecological and political thinking that anticipates what is now lived as global crisis; their projects intersect in contemporary Latin American activist art that has gained enough attention to figure as part of a global circuit. The review considers the overlapping points as well as the striking disjuncture in both projects in relation to the different knowledge formations, archives and languages from which each author speaks.

艺术和我们的周围环境：新兴和残存的语言

本文对TJ Demos（《非殖民化自然：当代艺术与生态政治》（2016年）和《反对人类世：今日视觉文化与环境》（2017年））和Jens Andermann的近期著作进行回顾despuésdel paisaje（进入土地：风景之后的艺术与自然，2018））。Demos和Andermann参与了以生态批评的名义进行的范式转变，在围绕环境危机的辩论与他们先前撰写和出版的领域之间建立了联系-艺术批评和视觉文化以及拉丁美洲的文学和文化研究， 分别。两位作者都面临着挑战，要通过在资本主义现代性（例如风景概念）下主导了我们与环境的关系的感知和概念习惯进行思考，以及如何说服艺术实践来改造这些习惯。尽管Demos绘制了近期在全球范围内致力于解决生态问题和“非殖民化自然”的努力，但Andermann回顾了20世纪的拉丁美洲档案，构建了一个本地族谱，该族谱包含着生态和政治思想，预言了现在的全球危机；他们的项目与当代拉丁美洲激进主义者艺术相交，后者已成为全球巡回演出的一部分，引起了足够的关注。
