Tunghayan natin ang panayam kay Mx. Amiel Jansen Demetrial hinggil sa nekropolitika ng sakuna sa ikalawang araw ng Pasinaya, isang online forum na kabahagi ng Dinsulan: Quezon Writers Workshop.

PANGALAWANG ARAW

10:00 am | Nekropolitika ng Sakuna: Etnograpiya, Teorya, at ang Ecopoetika ng Muhi sa Neoliberal at Pabayang Estado

Sa panayam na ito, susuriin natin kung paano nakakalikha ng nekropolitika ng sakunang lalong gumigipit sa maralitang Pilipino ang neoliberal na polisiya ng estado. Tatalakayin natin ang ugnayan ng sakunang nararanasan ng mga Pilipino na dulot ng extractive economies ng Global North na nagkukubli bilang lokal na extractive economy, at ang pagtugon ng neoliberal na estado sa tumitinding epekto ng climate change. Gamit ang affect at ecopoetika ng muhi, titingnan natin kung ano ang maaaring iambag ng etnografiya at teorya sa pagsulat, paglatag, at pagtalakay sa ating ugnayan sa kalikasan. Higit sa lahat, pag-uusapan natin kung anong kinabukasan ang kayang madalumat ng tula at panitikan sa pagharap sa dystopikong realidad ng climate-induced mass death.
