This colloquium explores how colonial and contemporary extractivism has shaped the Amazon as a deeply entangled multispecies world of humans, animals, plants, and other beings. It draws on perspectives from environmental history, political ecology, and ethnography to reflect on both the lasting impacts of colonial extraction and emerging possibilities for more just and sustainable ways of inhabiting Amazonian worlds.
Speakers: Raphael Uchôa (ECO-Amazon & Rio de Janeiro Museum of Astronomy and Related Sciences); Karen Shiratori (ECO-Amazon & University of Barcelona) and Emanuele Fabiano (ECO-Amazon & University of Barcelona)
