Abstract

This chapter elaborates a series of decolonial encounters with extinction under the shadow of catastrophic climate change. It explores how rituals can sustain arts of living in the thresholds between worlds that are ending, and others that are just coming into existence. Disrupting figurations of a universal humanity facing the End of the World, we turn to the rebellious concept of the pluriverse to bring critical attention to the role of ritual in facing multiple traumas and afterlives of extinction. Weaving threads between Indigenous rituals of the Kuikuro in Brazil, steelpan and carnival in Trinidad, and a Gamelan orchestra in Bali, we consider how animist pedagogies can generate immanent modes of attunement in the thresholds between worlds. How might we learn to care for worlds that are not our own, including past and future worlds that may be extinguished due to climate change?
