Relationality holds that beings are co-constituted by their relations: a river, a mountain, a person, or a seed does not “have” relations—it is relation all the way through.
This entry explores relationality as a concept, practice, ethics, and politics that challenges the dominant modern ontology of separation underpinning capitalism, colonialism, and state power. Rooted in Indigenous cosmovisions and expanded by activist and scholarly debates, relationality posits radical interdependence among humans, non-humans, and earth-beings as the foundation of reality. Drawing on examples such as Ausangate in Peru and the Atrato River in Colombia, the article examines how environmental conflicts emerge as pluriversal contact zones where divergent ontologies—state, corporate, environmentalist, and Indigenous—collide and negotiate. These encounters highlight tensions between extractivist temporalities and relational worlds grounded in reciprocity, ritual, and ecological continuity, as seen in the struggles of the Wayúu against wind energy projects. By advancing relational and pluriversal perspectives, the article argues for ecosocial transitions that move beyond cultural change toward ontological transformation, envisioning pluriversal futures built on coexistence, autonomy, and the healing of the web of life
