Expanded practices of reading and writing to address extractivism, eroticism, mining, and sexuality.

In this workshop, we will deal with some of the transversal themes and texts from our research in Fundão, connecting themes that have been important to my own research in previous projects such as Geophagy (2018), Fossil (2020), and Spillovers (2023), as well as in my teaching practice. Through expanded practices of reading and writing, we will reflect on how processes of energy extraction connect to abstraction in language, putting geology in contact with corporality, mining, and sexuality. Readings include excerpts from Dyke (geology) by Sabrina Imbler (2020); The Cancer Journals by Audre Lorde (1980); Bodily Natures by Stacy Alaimo (2010), I have a big rock by Ritó (2020); Between Gaia and the Ground (2021) by Elizabeth Povinelli; and A Billion Black Anthropocenes Or None by Kathryn Yusoff (2018).
