Summary:This article proposes theses for the interpretation of the Apocalypse of John for our time, characterizing the fundamentalist reading as a symptom of the fragmentation of the modern world. We propose a connective, performative, and creative reading, which considers the mythopoetic language of the book. Finally, we suggest an agenda of dialogue with Amerindian ontologies.
