The chapter focuses on the Yshir people’s struggle to regain control over the yrmo, understood variously as an emplaced collective, as “traditional territory,” and as the forest. Ethnographic material is used to show how the imperative of displacement, embedded in visions of the greater common good promoted by modernizing agents, constantly encroaches on the infrastructures that make the yrmo an emplaced collective and seeks to disentangle its components as ontologically distinct entities ( i.e., people and resources) that can participate in a (big) common modern world. Through the enactment of life projects, the yrmo nonetheless (r)exists as a “small common” by exploiting the gaps created by the lack of coherence between infrastructures of displacement. The analysis shows that a politics of emplacement requires fidelity to the pluriverse.
