Abstract:
This panel explores intersectional resistance in Latin America against extractive economic models rooted in colonialism, neocolonialism, and struggles against capitalism, patriarchy, racism, and xenophobia. It focuses on organized resistance to extractive policies, highlighting the roles of women and the impacts on indigenous peoples and traditional communities who face displacement and serious human rights violations. By incorporating the perspectives of Ayrton Krenak and David Kopenawa, it delves into indigenous views on environmental collapse.
The panel will also examine intersectional resistances in Africa and Latin America, reflecting on the organization of peoples and the role of women in resisting extractive policies. It addresses the environmental impacts and displacement of indigenous peoples and traditional communities in both regions. Krenak and Kopenawa's insights will help explore these realities, including the Yanomami genocide, emphasizing the need to denounce genocides, ethnocides, and epistemicides.
This approach is significant for anthropology as it recovers indigenous perspectives on extractive policies, highlighting their philosophies, cosmologies, shamanic practices, and collective resistance strategies. Dialogues between continents are urgent and valuable, emphasizing oral culture, memory, and language transmission. The panel aims to deepen the relationship between critical perspectives and indigenous philosophy in activism, paying attention to ethnographic relationships between academics and indigenous peoples.
The panel invites committed activists from academia in Latin America and Africa to discuss these realities, focusing on the intersection of critical perspectives and indigenous philosophies in resistance against extractive policies and human rights violations.
