(Post)Extractivism and ecological controversies in Design Research
The international seminar proposes a space for dialogue and exploratory practice between academics and researchers, focused on sharing emerging approaches and methods in interdisciplinary research, with an emphasis on analyzing territories and communities affected by extractivism or facing ecological controversies
Through presentations, workshops and site visits, the seminar will critically examine the concepts of extractivism and ecological controversies from diverse perspectives, addressing the complex interactions that occur across multiple scales and species, encompassing both human and more-than-human communities. The seminar is open to research contributions using different methodologies (such as ethnography, cartographic experimentation, co-creative method, etc.) to understand how human/more than human collectives engage with extractivism and ecological controversies.
