Resumo

In this work, I use the concept of empathy from the Dutch primatologist Frans de Waal, tracing reflections on his understanding of this phenomenon, which would have developed along with human evolution and that of other animals. I oppose it to necropolitics, a concept coined by the Cameroonian philosopher Achille Mbembe, and its links with the politics of race, modernity and coloniality. Within the scope of construction of scientific knowledge, imaginary and criticism of the supposed relationship between aggressiveness and human evolution, I seek to explore other logics that enable the exercise and stimulation of empathy. To do so, I highlight the Tukano genesis of the world and humans, based on the master's thesis of the indigenous anthropologist João Paulo Lima Barreto. This approach seeks to broaden our understanding of empathy, its collapse and its concrete possibilities in more diverse and plural contexts, paying attention to the need for other logics beyond modernity and necropolitics.
