Affects of Extraction
This article offers an ecocritical reading of Hernan Diaz’s, In the Distance, and Paul Thomas Anderson’s, There Will be Blood, to illuminate the affective duality of wonder and horror and the ways in which histories and sites of extraction evoke these affects, revealing their dialectical entanglement in depictions of the American West’s extractive economies. I explore ‘burrowing’ as a political turn toward the geological— an impulse to commune wi…

The biggest declines in the number of givers are among younger and poo…
