DESCRIPTION:Abstract:  In the agricultural Gezira region of central Sudan\,
  the term khalla means open land or expanse and refers to communal land th
 at is partly used for grazing animals or rain-fed farming\; what is often 
 referred to as ‘the commons.’ Beginning with the provocation that the khal
 la is “running away from us” due to large-scale land investments and agrib
 usiness practices\, this talk takes up the khalla as method (Khayyat 2022)
 \, repository and medium through which to trace and analyse how past and e
 mergent forms of capital accumulation and empire-making\, structure everyd
 ay life at the edge of the Gezira scheme. It draws on Michel-Rolph Trouill
 ot’s (1988) insight that landscapes testify to the layering of successive 
 forms of colonial intrusion in a way that unites time. In telling the hist
 ory of the region through the khalla\, this talk lays out some of the ways
  people have negotiated and contested these intrusions\, constructing an a
 rchive in the process that testifies not only to waves of dispossession an
 d destruction\, but also to processes of recovery and regeneration.\n
