"We have purposefully chosen a term which lays aside questions of epistemological inclusion or exclusion of contributions & instead embraces all ways of doing, knowing & understanding how research is practiced, produced & governed" Great to see this in the manifesto for this new r-o-r journal⬇️

When engineered scarcity & competitive entrepreneurialism become defining features of intellectual life, terms for understanding material struggle tend to metastasize into tokens of prestige accumulation & self branding. This should be resisted. www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1...

ABSTRACT
The term 'extractivism' has quickly become the name for every process and practice through which value is generated for capitalism. Given this conceptual ubiquity, what analytic function does this term actually serve? This Afterword to a special issue on Extractivism reflects upon possible reasons why scholars in the humanities have recently become interested in resource extraction, among which is the desire for one's scholarly work to respond to a gathering sense of planetary environmental crisis. Such engaged scholarship may, however, be premised on faulty assumptions about the realms of discourse and experience where it can have effects. Extending Stuart Hall's insights about the need for both commitment and circumspection regarding the work our research can do in the world, this essay considers the relationship between resource extraction as a moment and process under capitalism (or socialism), and extractivism as an ideology and cultural logic that permeates social imaginaries as well as literary and other discourse.
