by Alejandro Mora Motta at the ‘Young Scholars’ Conference: Time & Justice. Temporal Interrogations into Social-Ecological Justice, 8–10 October 2025, Hamburg’
Our Postdoc Alejandro Mora Motta will be presenting at the Panel ‘Infrastructural Time: Contested Temporalities in Forest, Water and Urban Governance’ that takes place on October 9, 2025, 15:30-17:00. The conference is organized by the DFG Humanities Centre for Advanced Studies “Futures of Sustainability” of the University of Hamburg.
In this presentation, he explores how (post-)extractivist futures are negotiated and constructed, discussing the conflicting temporalities of hyper-extractivism and post-extractivism. Hyper-extractivism represents current resource extraction webs operating at unprecedented speeds and spatial/temporal scales, while post-extractivism comprises movements and alliances proposing and producing alternatives to reshape futures beyond massive resource extraction, futures with environmental justice. By discussing the political ecologies and ontology of these temporalities, it questions whether there is a future beyond extractivism.
