In the war that Russia is waging in Ukraine with the aim of wearing down its opponent, the destruction of the infrastructure of human and more-than-human life – in short, the environment– plays an important role. As Svitlana Matviyenko argued in her talk at the BG conference “Pluriverse of Peace,” it is not only destruction but also reconstruction in occupied territories that is an expression of the aggressor’s necropolitics.
The talk was created for and presented at the BG conference “Pluriverse of Peace” on Thursday, October 16. It is based on Svitlana Matviyenko’s contribution to the “Pluriverse of Peace” text series. The opening day of the BG conference “Pluriverse of Peace” was held in cooperation with the ICI Berlin.
