Pérdida y asombro en el Fin del Mundo nos sumerge en una etnografía íntima y profunda, para revelar cómo los paisajes australes han sido representados y transformados a lo largo del tiempo. A través de archivos coloniales, relatos de exploradores y experiencias contemporáneas, Laura A. Ogden reflexiona sobre cómo el “Fin del Mundo” ha sido imaginado como un territorio inhóspito, marcado por la desaparición de pueblos indígenas y por una naturaleza salvaje que aún hoy despierta fascinación. En este testimonio de persistencias, de lenguas que se resisten al olvido y de seres —humanos y no humanos— que continúan habitando estos espacios con nuevas formas de vida, la autora nos invita a cuestionar las narrativas que han definido esta región y a encontrar en la incertidumbre del presente una posibilidad para el futuro.
