Extractive Territories: Material Geopolitics and Ecologies of Resistance
Language: English
Simultaneous Translation: No
Mineral landscapes are approached as political ecologies shaped by extraction, infrastructure, and planetary logistics. From lithium salt flats and rare earth territories to iron ore supply chains and desert visualities, the contributions reveal how energy transition reconfigures water systems, indigenous cosmologies, and architectural practice. Extraction appears not as a distant industry, but as a spatial regime demanding material accountability and ecological reciprocity.
