Local forms of production as resistance against global domination: anti-commodities

An international workshop aiming to focus on responses to global commodity production both in terms of resisting or adapting to changing social (labour) relations as well as resisting or adapting to worsening ecological conditions. These processes, termed ‘anti-commodity’, resulted in local and regional reconfigurations of people and their activities. These reconfigurations are considered as local forms of resistance and/or adaptation against the extraction of surplus value by colonial (plantation) agriculture or mining.
