Abstract: In landscapes marked by genocide, state terror, and ecological transformation, ghosts do not simply represent what was lost but return to disrupt settled temporalities, animating struggles over justice, memory, and the ethics of killing.Tracing a personal and ethnographic encounter in Tierra del Fuego, this essay explores how rage, refusal, and haunting unsettle conservation logics and expose the unresolved wounds of organized disappearance.Rather than interpret rage as an object to be explained or reduce spectral presences to metaphor, the article proposes haunting as anti-method, a way of attending to ghosts, anger, and multispecies violence without seeking resolution.
