OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
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.

1.30pm – 3.30pm: Panel 2 – Topographies of Extractivism and Precarious Lives
3.45pm – 5.45pm: Panel 3 – Extractive Zones, Extractive Matters
