Abstract

Considering 2017's wildfires, that completely destroyed the town of Santa Olga, in this paper we attempt to address the apparent agreement that exists regarding the intentionality behind the catastrophe, which would hide a divergence linked to the motivations behind that intentionality. This disagreement allows us, at the same time, to perform, firstly, an exploration about the notion of evidence, considering how it is inextricable from the worlds it indicates. Secondly, in doing so, we can disunify Santa Olga's disaster, and to understand it necessarily as a multiple event, in which the worlds that are intersected, when they fold, appear in their difference. This is thanks to an ethnographic reconceptualization of fire.
