What is it about?
Approaches that reduce racialized geographies and their inhabitants to an extractable resource are increasingly exposed for their excesses. Yet, they continue unabated. Through a discussion of Turkey's Kurdistan, I show how such approaches are perpetuated and even deepened through an ethico-political paradigm that repurposes extractivist excesses for affirming, as quantifiable virtues, some human and nonhuman vitalities and agencies even as others are negated.
