CFP: Extraction: Multiple Frontiers of Power and Resistance

The organizers of an upcoming graduate conference on the proliferation in capitalism of new frontiers that are subjected to extractive processes invite proposals. Submissions are due by April 15, 2022.

The conference centers on the analytical aspects of extraction. The organizers aim to explore the processes in which extraction becomes the foundation of global capitalism and how it blunders into dangerous, destructive forces. To discuss and further understand the scope of extraction, they welcome proposals for individual presentations from the fields of anthropology, sociology, cultural studies, and humanities that aim to theoretically and empirically engage with the concepts of extraction, frontiers, power, and resistance.
