The romance of extraction underlies and partly defines Western
modernity and our cultural imaginaries. Combining affect studies
and environmental humanities, this volume analyzes societies'
devotion to extraction and fossil resources. This devotion is
shaped by a nostalgic view on settler colonialism as well as by
contemporary »affective economies« (Sara Ahmed). The contributors
examine the links between forms of extractivism and gendered
discourses of sentimentality and the ways in which cultural
narratives and practices deploy the sentimental mode (in plots of
attachment, sacrifice, and suffering) to promote or challenge
extractivism.
