This thesis aims to discuss time-space outside the modern and colonial domain. In
this regard, the decolonial theories give conceptual support as well as the film El
abrazo de la serpiente, which takes place in the Northwestern Amazon. The
theoretical framework tries to establish an epistemology that prioritizes anti-colonial
analyzes and the preference for Latin American theorists is due to the understanding
that modernity / coloniality can be analyzed based on studies of borders to create
alternatives for experiences outside Eurocentrism. In the approach of the film, the
ethical dimension of human and non-human relations were sought to discuss time space and nature, therefore, the flower is an element of nature, but it is an attribute, a
“human” feeling of hope in the search for another frontier between time-space.
Accordingly, the discussion starts from the principle that time-space is also
established as a Eurocentric domain and the slide towards issues of the nature of
Environmental Sciences. In order to carry out the methodological treatment of the
characters in the film, the dialogues of the characters were sought through discourse
analysis as a principle for the construction of a discursive corpus of interpretation
about time and space. Discursive analysis allowed us to consider the existence of
two times: modern-colonial time-space and utopian time-space (ethnic time-space)
and the implications of these temporalities-spatialities for knowledge in the field of
Environmental Sciences.
