En las antípodas de una cosmopolítica: el control poblacional de myiopsitta monachus en la república oriental del uruguay. Análisis crítico del control de Myiopsitta monachus en Uruguay. Se cuestiona la política antropocéntrica y el "Uruguay Natural" desde una cosmopolítica, defendiendo la vida.
El día 23 de diciembre de 2025, la Dirección General de Servicios Agrícolas del Ministerio de Ganadería, Agricultura y Pesca, mediante las Resoluciones Número 1270/2025 y Número 1287/2025, autorizó en forma excepcional el uso de los ingredientes activos Metiocarb y Tiacloprid, para el control de la plaga cotorra (Myiopsitta monachus). Las medidas reflejadas en las mencionadas Resoluciones, lejos de proveer un marco de actuación abarcativo de todas las formas de vida, retoma la naturaleza antropocéntrica que ha caracterizado tradicionalmente la postura país hacia la consideración de los demás animales. Este apartamiento, receptor de los más severos cuestionamientos en una República que se enorgullece de su slogan “Uruguay Natural”, no resiste al menor análisis bajo el lente de postulados como el de Juliana Fausto e Isabelle Stengers. El presente aporte, nace producto de la severa necesidad de demostrar en términos teóricos cómo la forma de hacer política se ve interpelada por concepciones donde la vida deja de ser una variable técnica, tornando una gestión como exitosa solo cuando logre proteger las diversas formas en que los seres coproducimos vida.
This paper, "En las antípodas de una cosmopolítica: El control poblacional de Myiopsitta monachus en la República Oriental del Uruguay," presents a sharp critique of anthropocentric environmental policy in Uruguay, specifically targeting the proposed population control measures for the Monk Parakeet (Myiopsitta monachus). The abstract outlines a hypothetical scenario for late 2025, where the use of Metiocarb and Tiacloprid is authorized for pest control. The authors argue that these measures epitomize an anthropocentric stance, which not only contradicts Uruguay's celebrated "Uruguay Natural" slogan but also falls short under the scrutiny of contemporary philosophical thought. This sets the stage for a critical theoretical examination of the nation's approach to its non-human inhabitants. The core strength of this contribution lies in its ambitious theoretical underpinning. The paper explicitly aims to demonstrate how traditional political frameworks, which often reduce "life" to a technical variable, are profoundly challenged by more inclusive conceptions where success is defined by the protection of diverse forms of "co-produced life." By drawing upon thinkers such as Juliana Fausto and Isabelle Stengers, the authors position their work as a vital intervention against the prevailing anthropocentric paradigm. This philosophical engagement promises to offer a robust framework for re-evaluating current environmental governance and advocating for a more ethically nuanced and holistic approach to species management. Overall, this paper appears poised to ignite important discussions regarding the ethical dimensions of environmental policy and the true meaning of a "natural" nation. While the abstract strongly articulates the theoretical critique, the ultimate impact of the paper will likely hinge on its ability to translate these compelling philosophical arguments into tangible implications for policy and practice. It raises crucial questions about what a genuine "cosmopolitics" of nature might look like in the context of invasive species management, and how the concept of "co-producing life" can practically inform complex ecological decisions beyond a mere technical assessment.
