Accepted Paper:
Charting paths and politics towards autonomies and territories of life in the collapse of global capitalist civilisation.
Tom Younger
(Forest Peoples Programme)
Paper short abstract:
Some strategic reflections and questions from Scotland on shaping solidarities, political strategies and paths ahead in support of Indigenous autonomies in the Peruvian Amazon (amongst other pluriversal transitions).
Paper long abstract:
The dominant forms of conservation via dispossession expanded across the planet alongside the colonial expansion of the modern capitalist world system. Now that we are living through the protracted and turbulent breakdown of that system (Fernández Durán & González Reyes, 2018), what alternative practices and political imaginaries can support pluriversal transitions (Kothari et al, 2019) across the coming years and decades? How might those of us living in the North “articulate a politics which navigates between limits and desire” (Almazán & González Reyes, 2020), as we seek to nurture solidarities with Indigenous and popular struggles to resist colonial conservation and (re)construct autonomies and self-governing territories?
