Underlying the e xtraction of raw materials from the environment at large scale are modernis t assumptions that posit a fundamental separation between nature and cultur e. At first sight, such naturalist assumptions differ drastically from the ways in which many rural people across Southeast Asia relate to the environ ment – some of whom have animist orientations, attributing sentience, subje ctivity or interiority to the non-human world. So how do people with animis t orientations (which are often held alongside other religious affiliations ) experience and respond to extractivist projects? How does it affect and t ransform relations they have with each other and with the environment? Does extractivism lead to a reinvigoration of animist practices? Or are animist orientations weakened by the encroachments of capitalist developments? Whe n do extractivist projects actualise difference? And when do they lead to t ransformations or co-optations of human-environment or corporate/state-soci ety relations?\n\nTo answer these questions, the panel will engage with deb ates in social anthropology and political ecology on new animism studies, c osmopolitics and political ontology, as well as critical materialist approa ches to extractivism that emphasise the uneven distribution of power inhere nt in contemporary geopolitics. This approach will allow us to theorise how multiple contradictory ways of relating to the environment co-exist within the same setting and to examine how localised religious and cultural dynam ics can infuse global political and economic processes URL:https://euroseas2022.org/panels/animism-and-extractivism-in-southeast-asia DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Paris:20220630T140000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Paris:20220630T153000 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240419T182600 UID:euroseas-2022-animism-and-extractivism-in-southeast-asia-2 SUMMARY:Animism and Extractivism in Southeast Asia (2) LOCATION:Room 3.03 DESCRIPTION:Southeast Asia has been a prime target for land grabbing and ex tractivist projects in the 21st century, from logging, palm oil plantations , gold, coal and nickel mining, to oil and gas extraction.
