Reclaiming "Tubuh-Tanah Air": A Life Project on Doing Feminist Political Ecology at the Capitalist Frontier Siti Maimunah Dr. Phil. 300 Extractivism Capitalist frontier Feminist Political Ecology Resistance Tubuh-tanah air My study examines how the configuration of the capitalist frontier through extractivism shapes ethnicity, gender, and intersectionality in the areas surrounding a nickel mine in Sorowako (East Luwu District, South Sulawesi), logging and coal mining along the Lalang River (Murung Raya District, Central Kalimantan) Indonesia. The colonial frontier intersects with the capitalist frontier and provides the circumstances for its formation. The colonial restrictions, religions, commodities, the imposition of labor discipline, and political changes have molded ethnic identities and relationships with nature. Furthermore, using autoethnography and Feminist Political Ecology, I combine my experiences as a woman academic-activist with the experiences of the people in my research area. I identify how communities and individuals interact with the multiple-frontier in everyday life by defining the configuration of the frontier from above and below. Thus, my dissertation contributes to understanding how I, the community, and the capitalist frontier landscape are contained and can potentially transform into multidimensional resistance. I develop a link between the body as the interior frontier and the extractive landscape to be transformed into a perspective of “Tubuh-tanah air” as a future arena of engagement and resistance to extractivism.
