“…In this way, the pemba consumed by the "eartheaters" appears as the outcome of an undesirable soil-human relationship in which the earth is seen as "dead matter" (Wynter 2003: 267;Yusoff 2018: 211). Geophagy would thus describe a practice of women in racialized bodies and "Bushinengue culture" in the legally precarious territories composed by the colonial enclaves of the Plantationocene (Jolivet and Vernon 2007;Vernon 2018;Grotti 2017;Léglise, Léobal, and Migge 2020).…”

How can we remain attentive to the scale of the environmental damage caused in traditional Maroon territories by the effects of the Plantationocene and the material vestiges of colonial and racial violence left by capitalism? Dwelling on conversations held with Maroon Cottica Ndyuka women living in Moengo, a small town established on the Cottica River in Eastern Suriname to support a bauxite industrial plant in the early twentieth century, this text seeks to illuminate what Maria Puig de la Bellacasa (2021) calls “elemental affinities,” relationships in which humans and more-than-humans interact in composing body and earth through refractive and diffractive effects. The paper observes how the women mixed and modeled clay, turning it into sculpted balls known as pemba or pemba doti, frequently used as a therapeutical and spiritual substance, and as food. In so doing, the text deals with processes such as creating, composing, undoing, decomposing, and perishing once the earth—as soil—takes part in and renders possible the existence of diverse creatures. This is a contribution toward an ethnography of (de)compositions of the earth that sets out from the affinities between earth and bodies, attentive to certain metamorphic possibilities, the multiplicities of relations in which soils act.
