Extractivism's limits: A conversation

Abstract

In this multiauthored conversation on the limits of extractivism, Ryan Cecil Jobson, Macarena Gómez Barris, Cymene Howe, and Mareike Winchell collectively reflect on the erasures and displacements of extractivism, and how it works to produce affective and material outcomes. They take time to imagine the possible, or the aspirational, futures in a postextractive world or worlds, while recognizing that “extractivism” itself has become a way of marking multiplied effects (and affects) that unfold differently in time and place, for humans and for nonhumans.
