Abstract
This article, drawing on anarchist drifts and runaway methodologies, advances the notion of pluriversal diplomacy to reframe free, prior, and informed consent as a form of relational governance. Based on an ethnographic work at La Chorrera, Colombian Amazon, I show how the Rules of Origin and Yetarafue establish speech authorized sequences, community-held records, and particular decision-making timing that are at odds with bureaucratic consent. Building on relational anthropology, second-order cybernetics, and an anarchist critique of bureaucracy, I pose a simple question, namely Who has the authority to make a decision, and under which form or mode of organization does it become viable across different worlds. This article devises three artifacts: speech sequences, partially-translated dual archive, learning loops, as well as a set of situated practices foreshadowing forms of consent that are capable of redistributing voice and authority beyond State and corporate frameworks.
Keywords: free, prior, and informed consent, pluriversal diplomacy, anarchisms, runaway methodologies, Rules of Origin and Yetarafue, Colombian Amazon.
