Empire & Ecology
from Berliner Gazette · host Berliner Gazette
Efforts to label some forms of imperialism ‘good’ or ‘evil’ (or even the ‘lesser evil’) all too often miss the larger point: they share their origins in capitalist drives towards growth and domination, destroying the environment we all must share. If we trace the entanglement of empire and ecology back through its earlier moments of industrialization and colonialism, how can today’s conflicts come into view as opportunities to reimagine political and economic relations towards a horizon of peace, accountability, and responsibility? Searching for answers, Max Haiven, Julio Linares, and Aleksandar Matković gave talks at the opening panel of the “After Extractivism” conference hosted by Claudia Núñez. Recorded at the Haus der Demokratie und Menschenrechte, you can listen to them by pressing the play-button above. More info: https://after-extractivism.berlinergazette.de
