In this workshop, we will discuss the emergence of extractivism as a key concept in the environmental humanities. We will review the history of extractivism in Latin America as well as various aesthetic forms of its representation. In advance of the workshop, please read Carolyn Fornoff’s keyword essay “Extractivism,” from the Handbook of Latin American Environmental Aesthetics.
