 In this short critical essay, Rosalind Perrez offers an analysis of the sociological and scientific facts that shaped the evolution of the human-plant (H-P) relationship over the last five decades. Proceeding from the intellectual heritage of Denis Koblak and other theoreticians of the second H-P movement, Perrez discusses the succession of paradigms that held sway over this topic since the birth of political ecology in the 1970s up to the recent events of Curitiba in 2023.\\ In this short critical essay, Rosalind Perrez offers an analysis of the sociological and scientific facts that shaped the evolution of the human-plant (H-P) relationship over the last five decades.

 But the story does not end there. Beyond an accurate analysis of the second H-P movement, Rosalind Perrez wants to convince us that the case of the 'hybrids of Curitiba' – a group of workers from the dying Brazilian automotive manufacture industry who opted in concert for decisive stasis, and took the radical decision to transform their metabolism via plant prosthetics – can be seen as a yet-to-be-theorized third H-P movement, one that could bypass the traps of dualism and abstraction that characterized the previous paradigms.\\ But the story does not end there.
