| Résumé anglais |
The new year of 1994 in Chiapas, México welcomed the first indigenous revolution of the 21st century. This rebellion came from the jungle, facing extractivist policies derived from the NAFTA agreement and economic globalization. At the same time, a literary corpus directed to children and young adults emerged, in which an ant army and a beetle were the protagonists of the thought of the Sub comandante Marcos, leader of the movement. In this essay I analyze literary fragments of Don Durito de la Lacandona (1999), En algún lugar de la selva Lacandona (2008) y Aventuras y desventuras de Don Durito (2008), focusing on the concepts of environmental complexity and the Mayan ancient knowledge dialogue. I argue that, in his texts, Marcos uses the Zapatista pedagogy to reinforce the values of the human-non-human dialogue, the Amerindian perspectivism, and multinaturalism, to expand its thought to Zapatista teenagers and children. Using the Lacandon Jungle as the body of the conflict and the beetle and ants as protagonists of the Zapatista struggle, Marcos presents himself as a witness and agent, portraying a historical testimony of the jungle destruction and its consequences.
