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.
