Event Details
Join Professor Carmen Valdivia on her examination of Claudia Sparrow鈥檚 documentary M谩xima (2020) and learn more about the Mercurial Coloniality, Extractivism and the Settler-Colonial Sublime.
The search for gold has fueled the colonial enterprise like no other riches. In 1533, Atahualpa鈥檚 gold ransom in Cajamarca, Peru, added up to 30k pounds. Through an examination of Claudia Sparrow鈥檚 documentary M谩xima (2020), this presentation traces the continuity of material and discursive extractivism affecting human and other-than-human bodies in the aftermath of the political armed conflict.
