description This article attempts to rethink Deep Rivers (1958) by José María Arguedas (1911-1969) from the ecological concerns that mark our time, in order to account for the irreplaceable contribution and relevance of the Andean writer and anthropologist. The aim is to carry out an ecopoetic hermeneutic of Arguedas’ novel, in conversation with some of his anthropological and linguistic reflections, and highlighting some particular aspects of his biography. Arguedas’ ecological reflection draws on indigenous sensitivity and an understanding of all living beings as bearers of conscience, affection and language. In this way, Arguedas’ work opens epistemologies and ontologies that, far from the hegemonic paradigm of scientistic and positivist modernity, conceive of the profound and intimate interdependence of the human being with the sacred fabric of life.

Este artículo trata de repensar Los ríos profundos (1958) de José María Arguedas (1911-1969) desde las preocupaciones ecológicas que signan nuestra época, para dar cuenta del insustituible aporte y vigencia del escritor y antropólogo andino. En conversación con algunas de sus reflexiones antropológicas y lingüísticas, y resaltando algunos aspectos particulares de su biografía, se propone realizar una hermenéutica ecopoética de la novela de Arguedas. La reflexión ecológica de Arguedas bebe de la propia sensibilidad indígena y de una racionalidad afectiva que le permite comprender que todos los seres vivos somos portadores de consciencia, de afecto y de lenguaje. De esta manera, la obra Arguedas abre epistemologías y ontologías que, lejos del paradigma hegemónico de la modernidad cientificista y positivista, conciben la profunda e íntima interdependencia del ser humano con el tejido de la vida. Este artigo tenta repensar Os rios profundos (1958) de José María Arguedas (1911-1969) a partir das preocupações ecológicas que marcam nosso tempo, a fim de dar conta da contribuição insubstituível e da validade do escritor e antropólogo andino. Em conversa com algumas de suas reflexões antropológicas e lingüísticas, e destacando alguns aspectos particulares de sua biografia, é proposto realizar uma hermenêutica ecopética do romance de Arguedas. A reflexão ecológica de Arguedas baseia-se em sua própria sensibilidade indígena e em uma racionalidade afetiva que lhe permite compreender que todos os seres vivos são portadores de consciência, afeto e linguagem. Desta forma, o trabalho de Arguedas abre epistemologias e ontologias que, longe do paradigma hegemônico da modernidade cientista e positivista, concebem a profunda e íntima interdependência do ser humano com o tecido da vida.
