This workshop proposes to examine the ways in which extractivism is represented in film, poetry, orality and literary fiction from the Global South. By exploring perspectives on extractivism from Angola, Brazil, the Caribbean, Chile, Costa Rica, Ecuador, India, Nigeria and South Africa, we seek to highlight the connections between coloniality and environmental destruction while grounding our reflection in the material realities of the Global South.
