By Ethemcan Turhan Against the grim background of increasing global warming and related disasters, global climate justice movements call for radical political and economic transformations. Accordingly, positioning social reproduction in all its diverse forms at the center of the struggle for life is among the most important steps of these transformations. Building on her latest book, Forces of Reproduction: Notes For A Counter-Hegemonic Anthropocene (Cambridge University Press, 2020), we spoke with environmental historian and political ecologist Stefania Barca on the labour of earthcare, commoning and […]

Policing pushes extractive frontiers and facilitates extractive projects, facilitates the expansion of ‘green’ capitalism, and upholds the right to kill and exploit nonhuman animals. Police forces, militaries, and private security firms maintain a social ecological order, grounded in human-nature separation, the prioritisation of property and growth, and social hierarchies, that is inherently ecocidal.
