Ways of seeing on a dying planet
This article weaves together a transnational visual history of the use of herbicides in war. I trace the photographic analysis of herbicidal warfare as it was employed as a tactic of colonial repression, used against anti-colonial struggles, in counterinsurgency campaigns in the Cold War and, eventually, to Colombia in the War on Drugs. I argue that this mode of analysis was key to the design of ecocide. The goal of tracing these histories in rel…
Blind Spots in the Archive of Ecocidal War
On August 12, 1983, in the forests of the Chattahoochee National Park in Georgia, armed policemen stood guard over a cluster of marijuana plants as they slowly died. Their death was a result of an
Extinction in transition
At the Paris Climate Summit in 2015, then Colombian president Juan Manuel Santos proposed constructing a multi-national biodiversity corridor that would extend from the Andes to the Brazilian Atlantic coast. Santos highlighted increased militarization of the territory as one advantage of the corridor. In this model, ecological conservation becomes a matter of national/natural security, in the form of counterinsurgency to counter illegal economies…
The memory of earth and land dispossession in Urabá
In this article, the authors discuss their work in Coquitos from 2019–2021 with the Colombian Truth Commission and Forensic Architecture. They consider conflicts around land tenure, violent land dispossessions and land grabbing as the sedimented articulation of multiple environmental, legal, economic, and violent processes that are drawn out over decades. Their mode of analysis is based on a visual methodology using ‘situated testimony’ of ‘earth…
Defoliating the World’
This article poses the US-led War on Drugs as an ecocidal force, whereby certain species and ecosystems are extinguished in the name of the ‘greater good’. In this never-ending war, environmental violence is intertwined with political violence; when nonhuman lives, including those of plants, become subject to eradication, a co-criminalisation occurs as natural ecosystems and human life cannot be separated. I examine how these forms of violence ar…
