Modern and ancient cities alike have thus become models for the representation of extreme alterity under the guise of supernatural enchanted cities. This volume seeks to analyze how these ambiguous urban imaginaries--complex representations that function as cognitive tools and blueprints for social action--express a singular view of cosmopolitical relations, how they inform and shape forest-city interactions, and the history of how they came into existence. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Featuring analysis from historical, ethnological, and philosophical perspectives, contributors seek to explain the imaginaries' widespread diffusion, as well as their influence in present-day migration and urbanization. Above all, it underscores how these urban imaginaries allow Indigenous Amazonians to express their concerns about power, alterity, domination, and defiance. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Contributors \u003cbr\u003e Natalia Buitron \u003cbr\u003e Philippe Erikson \u003cbr\u003e Emanuele Fabiano \u003cbr\u003e Fabiana Maizza \u003cbr\u003e Daniela Peluso \u003cbr\u003e Fernando Santos-Granero \u003cbr\u003e Pirjo Kristiina Virtanen \u003cbr\u003e Robin M.
