• What is Jake Atienza's job title?

  Jake Atienza is a As an interdisciplinary researcher, my primary interests are mining, epistemology, violence, law and society, and the intersection of power and knowledge production. The overarching goal of my research is to theorize an epistemology of extraction. I hope that my work contributes to making visible multifaceted stories of injustice and the intricacies of power and extractivism in a historical and contemporary context. Fieldwork is a key part of my qualitative research, which includes interviews, audio-video documentation, and the collection of a range of primary sources such as legal documents. This becomes source material for my academic and non-academic writing, multimedia projects, and archival-based community art projects. My research revolves around two main projects: 1. An epistemology of extraction (2018-on-going). Since 2018, my research focus has been on mining violence, with mining-related incidents like landslides as starting points for my work theorizing an epistemology of extraction. While my fieldwork spans Brazil, the Kingdom of Tonga, and the Philippines, my current focus is on the island province of Cebu in the Philippines. My current work expands on three dimensions of an epistemology of extraction at the center of my M.A. thesis. 2. Dispossession as epistemological hegemony on Bantayan Island, Philippines (2020-on-going). A 2013 super typhoon reinvigorated attempts at privatizing land. Now, over 9,000 fisherfolk families are at risk of dispossession. This scenario has shaped my focus on the ways that extractivism is pushing indigent fisherfolk and farming communities towards the social and political periphery. In context of environmental and cultural loss, I look at at the nexus of power and politics.
