“…Elle pénètre peu à peu les études sur les ressources naturelles et, dans une moindre mesure, celles sur les peuples autochtones. Cependant, bien que de nombreuses traductions en anglais et en français soient disponibles, les barrières linguistiques et géographiques, en plus de celles disciplinaires, expliquent en partie que le concept ne soit pas abordé par l'anthropologie des industries extractives ou de la mine, comme en témoignent les entrées (Filer 2018 ;Golub 2019 ;Smith et Kirsch 2018) dans la Cambridge Encyclopedia of Anthropology ou l'International Encyclopedia of Anthropology.…”

Cette entrée aborde le concept classique d'extractivisme, ainsi que dans ses nouvelles frontières en pleine expansion. L’extractivisme est concept qui provient essentiellement d’intellectuels d’Amérique du Sud, dont le chercheur uruguayen Eduardo Gudynas, la sociologue argentine Maristella Svampa (2013) et l’économiste équatorien Alberto Acosta (2013). Il vise à analyser l’industrie des ressources naturelles d’un point de vue critique, un secteur dominé par les pays du Nord. Cependant, dans les dernières années, le concept s'est décentré géographiquement des études latino-américaines et, de façon croissante, est utilisé dans des études abordant des territoires autochtones au Nord. En outre, la notion n'est plus le propre des ressources naturelles, mais se réfère à un mode d'extraction plus global qui peut concerner des ressources d'autres natures, comme les savoirs, les personnes humaines ou non-humaines, etc.

From Mining Coal to Mining Knowledge and Memories 1 zdenka sokolı ´c ˇkova ´, thomas hylland eriksen Extractive CulturesThe extraction of raw materials has always been a human activity, and even mining of fossil fuels goes back several thousand years. Coalmining may have started in China as early as 3,500 BCE. At the same time, certain periods are more intense than others. The contemporary world of an overheated modernity, characterized by an acceleration of acceleration (Eriksen, 2016;McNeill & Engelke, 2016), finds itself in the middle of such a period, with "resource booms" and "busts" taking place in all continents. New extraction sites are developed, closed mines are being re-opened, foreign investors compete for leases, millions of people are engaged in artisanal small-scale mining from Congo to Peru (Pijpers & Eriksen, 2018), and the global trade in resources such as coal, copper, and iron ore has grown enormously since the turn of the millennium, not least due to China's industrial development and its quest for resources (see, e.g., Brautigam, 2009). In the case of Africa, Bryceson et al. (2014: 3-5) even identify the current "era of mineralisation" as one of the continent's three major mining eras of the twentieth and early twenty-first century, following an era of "apartheid mining in Southern Africa" and of "conflict mineral mining" in diamond-rich countries such as Democratic Republic of Congo, Sierra Leone, and Liberia. As a matter of fact, human extraction and consumption of mineral resources has increased steadily since the European industrial revolution, but never as fast as in the early decades of the present century.To extract means to draw, take, or copy something outsomething one has not produced oneself. Originating in late Latin and gaining its current meaning in the sixteenth and seventeenth century, the term "extraction" describes activities performed at that time just as it does those taking place in the twenty-first century in Svalbard. Recently, critical scholarship has widened the definition of extractivism to "an analytical and also political concept that enables the 66
