Abstract

In a workshop organised by the project ENTITLE (European Network of Political Ecology), we propose a discussion on popular resistances in ecological conflicts in two presentations, followed by a debate. Joan Martinez-Alier, Full professor at the of Economics and Economic History  Department, Universidad Autonoma de Barcelona, ​​will present a communication which discusses post-extractivist movements in Latin America and the structural ecological debt, concluding by demonstrating the link between environmental justice movements and sustainability. Stefania Barca, CES researcher, will present communication on gender, labour and nature, in an analysis of the ecological crisis in feminist theory and practice. Papers related to the workshop will be circulated prior to the workshop. The workshop is organised and mediated by junior researcher Felipe Milanez, who will be defending his doctoral thesis the following day    with the title: "A Ousadia de Conviver com a Floresta": uma ecologia política do extrativismo na Amazônia [The Boldness of Living with the Forest": for a political ecology of extractivism in the Amazon].
