 RESUMENEl presente artículo vincula el actual escenario de la pandemia con las implicancias ontológico-políticas advertidas en los debates sobre el Antropoceno/Capitaloceno. En este sentido, los recientes análisis ontológicos en relación a la inauguración de una nueva época geológica dan cuenta de la necesidad de responder a la coyuntura de nuestros días desde propuestas epistémico-políticas en la que prime el abandono de la ontología moderna dualista. Se argumenta que pensar el mundo post-pandemia implica analizar críticamente la ontología dominante y contribuir a un desplazamiento ontológico, que posibilite responder a la urgencia de los tiempos mortíferos del Antropoceno/Capitaloceno.Palabras claves: Antropoceno. Capitaloceno. Ontología Dualista. Giro Ontológico. Pandemia. The Anthropocene/Capitalocene and its ontological-political implications: scenario of the current pandemicABSTRACTThis article links the scenario of the pandemic with the ontological-political implications analyzed in the debates on the Anthropocene/Capitalocene. In this sense, the recent ontological analyses about the inauguration of a new geological epoch show the need to respond to the current situation from epistemic-political proposals in which the abandonment of modern dualistic ontology prevails. It is argued that thinking about the post-pandemic world involves critically analyzing the dominant ontology and contributing to an ontological shift, which makes it possible to respond to the urgency of the deadly times of the Anthropocene/Capitalocene.Keywords: Anthropocene.

Abstract This essay concerns the unequal distribution of epistemic capital in the academic field of World Literature and calls for an epistemic shift: a broadening of our theoretical canon and the epistemologies through which we read and interpret world literature. First, this epistemic inequality is discussed through a sociological examination of the “world republic of literary theory,” addressing the limits of circulation of literary epistemologies. The current situation, it is argued, creates an “intellectual captivity,” the ethical and political implications of which are demonstrated through a close reading of the acts of reading world literature performed by scholars at the center of the field. A few possible solutions are then suggested, drawing on recent developments in anthropology, allowing for a redistribution of epistemic capital within the discipline of World Literature: awareness of positionality, reflexivity as method, promotion of marginal scholarship, and a focus on “points of interaction.”

What kind of methodological and axiological lodestars would the academic community of Islam scholars do wise to observe in the current situation of intense political and medial ‘discursivization’ of Islam and Muslims? How are ‘we’ – our imagined scholarly community – to navigate in a field that over the past decades has moved from a fairly select and exclusive island to an increasingly deceitful and contested archipelago? Surely the first thing to do must be critical self-reflection, asking ourselves questions about our trade’s ideological and political implications and about the truths we hold selfevident. The second thing to do is also rather ‘self-centred’, albeit in a less meta-wise way, and that is to try to decide and spell out and commit oneself to some kind of research agenda.
