Svitlana Matviyenko: Terror Infrastructures under and beyond Occupation - Environing Regimes of Control
Hybrid format | What does it mean to conduct war environmentally? What assemblages and materialities are entangled within the war environment? The talk will theorize the notion of terror environment as the realm of double targeting the population by weapons and information during the RF’s war against Ukraine. The anchoring point of such terror environment preceding the ongoing war is found at the nexus of ecocide and genocide. It has become prominent through the many acts of energy terrorism that have been deployed during the current war taking place within a colonial legacy wherein the imperial vector of terror that has long been aligned with a hidden inter-imperial vector of deterrence.
