His environmental history publications include The Rise of Conservation in South Africa (2003), Social History and African Environments (ed. with JoAnn McGregor, 2003), Environment and Empire (with Lotte Hughes, 2007) and, with Luvuyo Wotshela, Prickly Pear: the Social History of a Plant in the Eastern Cape (2011). He is currently working on the history of wildlife film and photography in Africa and, with Karen Brown, on local knowledge about livestock management and veterinary ideas in rural South Africa. 2 B01 Karen Middleton Karen Middleton Dr Karen Middleton is an independent researcher with expertise on Madagascar. She has published analyses of kinship and ritual in the island’s deep south, where she lived for several years. A Nuffield Foundation research fellowship enabled her to train in environmental history, since when she has drawn on archival research, oral history and continuing ethnographic fieldwork to explore the historical ecology of southern Madagascar, focusing on the cultural and economic dimensions of plant transfer. 3 B01 Simon Pooley Simon Pooley 40 041kmwe10 Imperial College London Dr Simon Pooley is a Junior Research Fellow at Imperial College London Conservation Science, working on an environmental history of crocodilian conservation in southern Africa, Australia, India and the USA.

At the same historical moment, different cultural and social groups have upheld widely diverging ideas about the wolf. Fundamental dichotomies in modern history, between nature and culture, wilderness and civilisation and danger and security, have been portrayed in terms of wolf–human relationships.

It focuses on perceptions, interactions and dependencies, and includes cultural and social analyses as well as biological aspects. Wolves have been feared and admired, hunted and cared for. At the same historical moment, different cultural and social groups have upheld widely diverging ideas about the wolf. Fundamental dichotomies in modern history, between nature and culture, wilderness and civilisation and danger and security, have been portrayed in terms of wolf–human relationships. The wolf has been part of aesthetic, economic, political, psychological and cultural reasoning albeit it is nowadays mainly addressed as an object of wildlife management. There has been a major shift in perception from dangerous predator to endangered species, but the big bad fairytale wolf remains a cultural icon. This volume roots study of human–wolf relationships coherently within the disciplines of environmental and animal history for the first time.

Anthropocene Days gathers 27 easy-to-read short essays about the environment and climate change in everyday life. While the world and governments are beset by the great woes of changing climate, deforestation, species extinction, air pollution, fouling oceans and so on, we go about individually and locally as best we can from day to day. Anthropocene Days contends that these two domains, so apparently separate, are essentially connected. The book looks at the diverse and mundane activities of daily life to show how the environment is experienced, and does this very personally by drawing its observations from the author's life. It is part memoir, part recent history - a medley of short essays with themes of landscape change, forests, trees, war, fire, pestilence and the domestic life of housing, dusting and clutter. Motivated by present concerns, some reach back to the 1940s. They are set in Australia, Britain, India, Singapore and America. Anthropocene Days is a deceptively easy read. It does not hector readers on what to do, but its ruminations, drawn from long engagement with environments, encourage reflection on how we pass our everyday lives while the planet changes. 30 00 Is that the nub of the world's environmental crisis: that in the business of everyday, we pass by with our connections unacknowledged?

The fight to save the Amazon is a fight for sustainability that is emblematic of the entire future of human co-existence with Nature on Earth. Killeen is an authoritative and impassioned guide, eschewing soundbites in favour of a clearsighted and highly nuanced picture of the realities on the ground. Only in understanding present realities and how they came to pass, he argues, can we proceed hopefully into the future. Events of the last ten years are discussed in detail, because future events will have to build upon – or modify – the cultural and economic forces driving events in the Pan Amazon. Nonetheless, the text provides a longer historical perspective to show how policies create legacies that reverberate over decades, long after they have been recognised as being fundamentally flawed.The book does not demonise stakeholder groups or economic actors, but explains the social and economic realities that constrain their decisions and motivates them to act as they do. Likewise, it identifies the policies that have created a foundation for positive change, as well as those that are not delivering the benefits their advocates had hoped to generate.The broad scope and descriptive detail of the narrative will provide the reader with an understanding of the synergies among the multiple complex phenomena that threaten the conservation of the Amazon, as well as an objective analysis of the alternative production models and regulatory reforms that are essential for bending the arc of history and saving an ecosystem on critical importance to the planet Killeen makes no attempt to predict the future via a ‘scenarios analysis’, but he does identify certain phenomena that will most definitely happen (regardless of new policies or market forces), those that might or might not happen (depending on new policies and markets forces), some that should never happen (e.g., extreme climate change), and those that absolutely must happen in order to change the current trajectory of Amazonian development (e.g., revenue transfers that can change human behaviour). 30 00 In a lucid style backed by encyclopaedic knowledge, Killeen unpicks the extremely complex ecological and socio-political threads that comprise the recent history and the vital future of the Pan Amazon region.

The fight to save the Amazon is a fight for sustainability that is emblematic of the entire future of human co-existence with Nature on Earth.

When the Fascists came to power, the process of politicisation of mountains reached its acme; the regime constructed and exploited mountains both rhetorically and materially, on one hand celebrating ruralism and rural people and, on the other, giving mountain natural resources to large hydro-electric corporations. The book ends with two exemplar tales about mountains and their place in the Italian recent history: the Resistance against the Nazi-Fascists, which found its sanctuary up in the mountains, and the 1963 Vajont disaster, which, with 2,000 people killed, represents the tragic epilogue of the hydroelectric modernisation of the Alps. 01 00 03 02 https://www.whpress.co.uk/publications/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/9781874267645.jpg 01 URL https://whpress.co.uk/ The White Horse Press 01 The White Horse Press 01 Publisher's website: home page https://www.whpress.co.uk/ 02 Publisher's website: webpage for this title https://www.whpress.co.uk/publications/2011/07/18/a-rugged-nation/ Winwick, UK 04 01 20110711 The White Horse Press 02 WORLD 06 15 9781874267706 03 9781874267706 06 15 9781874267645 03 9781874267645 WORLD 09 The White Horse Press 02 Publisher's website: webpage for this product https://www.whpress.co.uk/publications/2011/07/18/a-rugged-nation/ 20 08 20110711 01 urn:uuid:a2bacbce-0a36-4c27-8216-96991410506e 03 01 01 thoth-work-id urn:uuid:47161303-2880-4923-8126-a53d94b2eb8a 01 thoth-publication-id urn:uuid:a2bacbce-0a36-4c27-8216-96991410506e 15 9781874267973 03 9781874267973 00 BC 10 01 229 mm 01 22.9 cm 01 9.02 in 02 152 mm 02 15.2 cm 02 5.98 in 01 01 A Short Environmental History of Italy Variety and Vulnerability 1 A01 Gabriella Corona Gabriella Corona 40 05290cv24 University of Naples Federico II Gabriella Corona is a senior researcher at the Institute of Studies on Mediterranean Societies of the National Research Council in Naples and teaches Economic History in the Humanities Department of University of Naples ‘Federico II’. 2 B06 Federico Poole Federico Poole 01 eng 02 ita 00 150 03 09 23 12 HBJD 10 HIS020000 10 NAT038000 12 RNF 12 1DST 20 Italy; natural resources; anthropisation; environmental history 01 06 02 00 This book, a translation of the author’s original Italian 'Breve Storia dell’Ambiente in Italia' (Il Mulino, 2015) aims to bring together the general lines of interpretation of Italian environmental history from the decades prior to national unification to the present day, laying foundations for the writing of national history from an environ 03 00 This book, a translation of the author’s original Italian 'Breve Storia dell’Ambiente in Italia' (Il Mulino, 2015) aims to bring together the general lines of interpretation of Italian environmental history from the decades prior to national unification to the present day, laying foundations for the writing of national history from an environmental history perspective. The volume reconstructs processes of change in the use of natural resources in Italy, and the associated environmental and social consequences. The use in historical analysis of a polysemic concept such as ‘environment’ expresses the deep synergies in the history of Italy that have tied together nature and human activities, ecological and socio-economic issues. The ancient roots of settlement, early anthropisation by past civilisations and historical features of the processes of transformation of rural and agricultural landscapes to which large areas of the peninsula have been subject impose a historical reconstruction in which changes in the use of natural resources are closely intertwined with changes in the territory considered as a natural historical context, built and humanised.

It makes a major contribution to our understanding of where, how and why trees grew in British towns in the period, the social and cultural impact of these and the attitudes taken towards them. 01 00 03 02 Photo of trees in an urban park in front of od buildings, with horses in the foreground. 02 https://www.whpress.co.uk/publications/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/9781912186006.jpg 01 URL https://whpress.co.uk/ The White Horse Press 01 The White Horse Press 01 Publisher's website: home page https://www.whpress.co.uk/ 02 Publisher's website: webpage for this title https://www.whpress.co.uk/publications/2016/05/01/british-urban-trees/ Winwick, UK 04 01 20160501 The White Horse Press 02 WORLD 06 15 9781874267904 03 9781874267904 WORLD 09 The White Horse Press 02 Publisher's website: webpage for this product https://www.whpress.co.uk/publications/2016/05/01/british-urban-trees/ 20 08 20160501 01 urn:uuid:68448332-fe57-478b-93d6-b4a2e64299cc 03 01 01 thoth-work-id urn:uuid:4f2eac27-d84f-47cc-a525-fbaebb3d918f 01 thoth-publication-id urn:uuid:68448332-fe57-478b-93d6-b4a2e64299cc 15 9781874267690 03 9781874267690 06 10.3197/9781912186310.book 00 BB 10 01 229 mm 01 22.9 cm 01 9.02 in 02 152 mm 02 15.2 cm 02 5.98 in 08 678 gr 08 23.9157 oz Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International license (CC BY-NC-ND 4.0). 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ 01 01 Changing Deserts Integrating People and their Environment 1 B01 21 0000000152723671 Lisa Mol Lisa Mol 40 052gg0110 University of Oxford Lisa Mol is a Research Associate at the School of Geography and the Environment, Oxford University.

By focusing on soil conservation, which required an integrated approach to the use and management of such natural resources as land, water and forestry, it examines the origins and effects of policies and their legacies in the post-colonial era. That interrelationship has fundamental contemporary significance and is not simply a phenomenon created in the colonial period. For instance, like other countries in the region, post-colonial Malawi has been bedevilled by increasing rates of environmental degradation due, in part, to the expansion of human and animal populations, cash crop production, drought and consequent deforestation. These issues are as critical today as they were six or seven decades ago. In fact, they are part of a conservation song that has a long and complex history. The song of conservation was initially composed and performed in the colonial period, modified during the immediate postcolonial period and further refashioned in the post-dictatorship period to suit the evolving political climate; but the basic lyrics remain essentially the same. This book attempts to explain the evolution of the conservationist idea whilst demonstrating changes and continuities in peasant-state relations under different political systems.<break/>The dominant narrative posits conservation as a progressive movement aimed at re-organising natural resources and protecting them from destruction but the idea was contested and deeply embedded in colonial power relations and scientific ethos. Conservation emerged as an important tool of colonial state intervention and control concerning people and scarce resources. Conservation Song shows how the idea of conservation was rooted in and driven by a particular type of science about the organisation of space and landscapes. It offers a strategic entry point to understanding the historical roots of Africa’s social and ecological problems over time, which are also intertwined with power and poverty relationships. In the postcolonial period, the conservation tempo subsided and became neglected in public discourse, only to re-emerge in the 1990s through the democratisation movement. 30 00 "Conservation Song" explores ways in which colonial relations shaped meanings and conflicts over environmental control and management in Malawi.

In the postcolonial period, the conservation tempo subsided and became neglected in public discourse, only to re-emerge in the 1990s through the democratisation movement. 30 00 "Conservation Song" explores ways in which colonial relations shaped meanings and conflicts over environmental control and management in Malawi. By focusing on soil conservation, which required an integrated approach to the use and management of such natural resources as land, water and forestry, it examines the origins and effects of policies and their legacies in the post-colonial era. That interrelationship has fundamental contemporary significance and is not simply a phenomenon created in the colonial period. For instance, like other countries in the region, post-colonial Malawi has been bedevilled by increasing rates of environmental degradation due, in part, to the expansion of human and animal populations, cash crop production, drought and consequent deforestation. These issues are as critical today as they were six or seven decades ago. In fact, they are part of a conservation song that has a long and complex history. The song of conservation was initially composed and performed in the colonial period, modified during the immediate postcolonial period and further refashioned in the post-dictatorship period to suit the evolving political climate; but the basic lyrics remain essentially the same. This book attempts to explain the evolution of the conservationist idea whilst demonstrating changes and continuities in peasant-state relations under different political systems.<break/>The dominant narrative posits conservation as a progressive movement aimed at re-organising natural resources and protecting them from destruction but the idea was contested and deeply embedded in colonial power relations and scientific ethos. Conservation emerged as an important tool of colonial state intervention and control concerning people and scarce resources.

Before working in Queensland, he pursued doctoral work and later lectured at The Australian National University. His academic work focuses chiefly on issues in logic and metaphysics, with a particular emphasis on non-classical logic and paradox, and he has published books and numerous articles in major international journals in the field. Recent work has also been directed towards environmental philosophy, especially the pioneering work of Sylvan and Plumwood. He lives in a small house in the subtropical forest outside Brisbane. 01 eng 00 280 03 09 10 12 BG 10 BIO009000 12 HPS 10 NAT011000 10 PHI005000 10 BIO030000 10 BIO032000 20 Australia; philosophy; conservation; forests; biography 01 06 02 00 Sylvan and Plumwood were iconoclastic, anarchic, and spoke what they believed without concern for social nicety.

In the present volume Dominic Hyde explores their intertwined lives and 03 00 Richard Sylvan and Val Plumwood were eminent twentieth-century Australian philosophers who, in the way of philosophers, devoted their lives to examining fundamental assumptions about thought and the world. Though they were both renowned logicians – and probed metaphysics, ethics, epistemology, social and political theory and economics – it was their determination to fuse the practical and the intellectual, to ‘walk the talk’, that made them special. The world they sought to elucidate was not solely interior; not for them mere navel-gazing or abstract theorising, but a passionate concern about the non-human world and the non-human others with which we share it: Sylvan was convinced of the culpability of the philosopher who could ‘fiddle while the Earth begins to burn’.<break/>They were renowned as practical and rhetorical defenders of Australia’s forests, as zealous conservationists who not only campaigned for the non-human world but tried to codify philosophically an ‘environmental culture’ that would be ethically and rationally engaged with it. Their philosophical endeavours to provide a modern foundation for such a culture were as much rooted in the forests they inhabited and worked physically to protect as in the academy; indeed Plumwood claimed that her every word had ‘the thought of the forest behind it, as the ultimate progenitor and meaning of my speech’. To them, the separation of physical and intellectual labour was as wrong as, and symptomatic of, human alienation from nature; and they strove to reconnect these artificial, dangerous dichotomies. While Sylvan strove for the general ‘greening of ethics’, Plumwood became increasingly aware of other toxic dichotomies that infused gender politics, going on to gain recognition as a pioneering eco-feminist.<break/>Sylvan and Plumwood were iconoclastic, anarchic, and spoke what they believed without concern for social nicety.

The world they sought to elucidate was not solely interior; not for them mere navel-gazing or abstract theorising, but a passionate concern about the non-human world and the non-human others with which we share it: Sylvan was convinced of the culpability of the philosopher who could ‘fiddle while the Earth begins to burn’.<break/>They were renowned as practical and rhetorical defenders of Australia’s forests, as zealous conservationists who not only campaigned for the non-human world but tried to codify philosophically an ‘environmental culture’ that would be ethically and rationally engaged with it.

To them, the separation of physical and intellectual labour was as wrong as, and symptomatic of, human alienation from nature; and they strove to reconnect these artificial, dangerous dichotomies. While Sylvan strove for the general ‘greening of ethics’, Plumwood became increasingly aware of other toxic dichotomies that infused gender politics, going on to gain recognition as a pioneering eco-feminist.<break/>Sylvan and Plumwood were iconoclastic, anarchic, and spoke what they believed without concern for social nicety.

Before working in Queensland, he pursued doctoral work and later lectured at The Australian National University. His academic work focuses chiefly on issues in logic and metaphysics, with a particular emphasis on non-classical logic and paradox, and he has published books and numerous articles in major international journals in the field. Recent work has also been directed towards environmental philosophy, especially the pioneering work of Sylvan and Plumwood. He lives in a small house in the subtropical forest outside Brisbane. 01 eng 00 280 03 09 10 12 BG 10 BIO009000 12 HPS 10 NAT011000 10 PHI005000 10 BIO030000 10 BIO032000 20 Australia; philosophy; conservation; forests; biography 01 06 02 00 Sylvan and Plumwood were iconoclastic, anarchic, and spoke what they believed without concern for social nicety.

Small wonder: islands have played a key role in the history of continents, have been crucial locales of state-making, have served dictatorships as sites of prison systems and have acted as frontiers and stepping stones of empires. However, the role that island environments have played in creating and shaping these histories has so far received little attention. To understand why an island became a penal colony, an atomic test site or a tourist destination we need to take a close look at its environmental peculiarities: its physical shape, its geology, its climate, its flora and fauna, and its position vis-à-vis other places. And to more deeply comprehend an island’s place in history we must consider the changing ways in which it was perceived, used, valued or dismissed, protected or mistreated over time.<break/>Through fourteen stories of islands and archipelagos from around the globe Entire of Itself? Towards an Environmental History of Islands showcases islands as dynamic entities that both shape history and are shaped by it. Covering time periods from antiquity to the present day, Entire of Itself? attempts a group portrait of this exceptional category of places in the context of environmental history. Exploring the intertwined temporal, material and identity layers of island environments, and their transformations in response to human endeavours of conservation, exploitation and experimentation, the contributions in this volume challenge the traditional center-periphery perspective, and instead take an island-centred approach, delving into both the islands’ own stories and their role in larger historical developments. 30 00 The study of islands is booming.

However, the role that island environments have played in creating and shaping these histories has so far received little attention. To understand why an island became a penal colony, an atomic test site or a tourist destination we need to take a close look at its environmental peculiarities: its physical shape, its geology, its climate, its flora and fauna, and its position vis-à-vis other places. And to more deeply comprehend an island’s place in history we must consider the changing ways in which it was perceived, used, valued or dismissed, protected or mistreated over time.<break/>Through fourteen stories of islands and archipelagos from around the globe Entire of Itself? Towards an Environmental History of Islands showcases islands as dynamic entities that both shape history and are shaped by it. Covering time periods from antiquity to the present day, Entire of Itself? attempts a group portrait of this exceptional category of places in the context of environmental history.

In addition to an introductory chapter that surveys approaches to this area of environmental history, individual chapters address inequalities in the city as regards water supply, air pollution, waste disposal, factory conditions, industrial effluents, fuel poverty and the administrative and legal arrangements that discriminated against segments of society. 20 00 Open Access 01 00 03 02 Photograph of four men sitting around a messy urban campsite. 02 https://books.whpress.co.uk/10.3197/9781912186334.book_frontcover.jpg 01 URL https://whpress.co.uk/ The White Horse Press 01 The White Horse Press 01 Publisher's website: home page https://www.whpress.co.uk/ 02 Publisher's website: webpage for this title https://www.whpress.co.uk/publications/2011/01/31/environmental-and-social-justice-in-the-city/ 16 40 00xgd4p18 Knowledge Unlatched Winwick, UK 04 01 20110131 The White Horse Press 02 WORLD 06 15 9781874267614 03 9781874267614 WORLD 11 JSTOR 36 JSTOR: webpage for this product https://www.jstor.org/stable/j.ctv289dvs1 29 JSTOR: download the title https://www.jstor.org/stable/j.ctv289dvs1 20 08 20110131 01 11 INTERNET_ARCHIVE 36 INTERNET_ARCHIVE: webpage for this product https://archive.org/details/03ecb260-44bb-4fb2-8d31-001d7da919eb 29 INTERNET_ARCHIVE: download the title https://archive.org/download/03ecb260-44bb-4fb2-8d31-001d7da919eb/03ecb260-44bb-4fb2-8d31-001d7da919eb.pdf 20 08 20110131 01 11 THOTH 36 THOTH: webpage for this product https://www.whpress.co.uk/publications/2011/01/31/environmental-and-social-justice-in-the-city/ 29 THOTH: download the title https://books.whpress.co.uk/10.3197/9781912186334.book.pdf 20 08 20110131 01 urn:uuid:f33ff319-94c9-4b70-9683-e2c7a17c10ea 03 01 01 thoth-work-id urn:uuid:f10aec2e-a897-4ce8-b80b-22ec296be536 01 thoth-publication-id urn:uuid:f33ff319-94c9-4b70-9683-e2c7a17c10ea 15 9781912186525 03 9781912186525 00 BB 10 01 229 mm 01 22.9 cm 01 9.02 in 02 152 mm 02 15.2 cm 02 5.98 in 01 01 Environments of Identity Agricultural Community, Work and Concepts of Local in Yorkshire, 1918–2018 1 A01 Jane Rowling Jane Rowling 40 024mrxd33 University of Leeds 40 04nkhwh30 University of Hull Jane Rowling completed her Ph.D. in 2017 and has since worked at the University of Leeds and the University of Hull.

The history of how rural space has been managed has been tackled by both environmental and agricultural historians.

Based on detailed oral history interviews with local farmers who began their careers in the early part of study period, and their grandchildren and counterparts who are linked to the same farms in the twenty-first century, this book explores the impact of the farming community on the farmed environment while also highlighting the agency of the environment in forming farming identities. This study not only illuminates the way in which the land has been managed in the past, but also draws out the stories of farmers’ relationships with their land over generations. Understanding how these relationships function, in the context of their agricultural and environmental histories, will be crucial for the successful implementation of the landscape level change in practices and approaches that will be essential to mitigate climate change. 30 00 The UK countryside is under pressure.

What has too often been described as the ‘eternal sea’ is shown to be remarkably dynamic. Ranging widely from Australia to the Arctic, from ocean depths to high islands, a new generation of humanists and scientists trespass the boundaries of their own fields of inquiry to tie together human and natural histories. They reflect contemporary concerns with declining fisheries, damaged estuaries, and vanishing coastal communities. Here the history of oceanic sciences meets that of literary and artistic imagination, offering vivid insights into the meanings as well as the materiality of waves and swamps, coasts and coral reefs.

In their introduction, John Gillis and Franziska Torma suggest the directions in which the fluid frontiers of marine environmental history are moving. 01 00 03 02 Painting of hills arising from the sea and a multi-coloured sunset. 02 https://www.whpress.co.uk/publications/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/9781912186051.png 01 URL https://whpress.co.uk/ The White Horse Press 01 The White Horse Press 01 Publisher's website: home page https://www.whpress.co.uk/ 02 Publisher's website: webpage for this title https://www.whpress.co.uk/publications/2015/03/01/fluid-frontiers/ Winwick, UK 04 01 20150301 The White Horse Press 02 WORLD 06 15 9781874267867 03 9781874267867 WORLD 09 The White Horse Press 02 Publisher's website: webpage for this product https://www.whpress.co.uk/publications/2015/03/01/fluid-frontiers/ 20 08 20150301 01 urn:uuid:23d95798-2740-4d33-ac02-b5edd2b60c4f 03 01 01 thoth-work-id urn:uuid:d5977037-17cf-4c62-b11f-b3648a62c202 01 thoth-publication-id urn:uuid:23d95798-2740-4d33-ac02-b5edd2b60c4f 15 9781874267720 03 9781874267720 00 BC 10 01 229 mm 01 22.9 cm 01 9.02 in 02 152 mm 02 15.2 cm 02 5.98 in 03 11 mm 03 1.1 cm 03 0.43 in 08 290 gr 08 10.2294 oz 01 01 From Camel to Truck The Bedouin in the Modern World 1 A01 21 0000000287106603 Dawn Chatty Dawn Chatty 40 052gg0110 University of Oxford Dawn Chatty is University Professor in Anthropology and Forced Migration and Director of the Refugee Studies Centre, Queen Elizabeth House, University of Oxford.

Soil holds worlds within itself and also builds other worlds; it devours and remakes things; it sustains life and gives cover to the dead. Grasping Soil is a collectively-authored syllabus and series of essays, all examining, with different inflections, the fundamental question: what comes into view when we ‘grasp’ soil as a vessel of human history and point of view for inquiry?Part I is an interdisciplinary syllabus that traces the contours of a growing body of work in the humanities that uses soil as a bridge between human and more-than-human histories. The syllabus offers a template of readings, discussion questions and assignments with an accompanying website for easy access to the supporting materials. The essays that follow in Part 2 explore particular moments and locations in which communities have modified, depleted or remade soil to suit a particular need. In examining these engagements with soil, each essay provides a particular view on the social, political or economic conditions that they reflect and create. The essays range from mountain top mining in Appalachia to the construction of a load-bearing monolith in Nazi-era Berlin, and the layered, residual histories of agricultural projects in Tanzania. As these essays make clear, soil is a lively presence not an inert recipient of human desires and actions. It is a living and not always governable community with ever-changing stories to tell. 30 00 Soil is a nearly ubiquitous presence in our lives, regardless of whether we spend much time noticing it.

Doing so asks us to consider how the composition of soil is linked to flows of energy and materials and dynamically intertwined with perception and response of various living and non-living processes. We borrow Tim Ingold’s notion of the ‘ecology of material’ to help us think through soil as ‘matter that is always already historical’ and how its mate- rial properties become a matter of concern for present communities and future generations. This unit seeks to answer these questions through 1) introductory overview to the material composition of soil and its relation to use; 2) a review of the ‘metabolic’ turn in soil studies; and 3) an exercise to think through the composition of soil as a form of material memory that shapes future growth.

See the source list at the end of the syllabus for full details of suggested reading and viewing materials. 20 00 Open Access Cynthia Browne and Johannes Lehmann 4 03 06 10.63308/63897247289532.unit2 39 46 8 Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International license (CC BY-NC 4.0). 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ Chapter 01 01 Unit 2: Soil as Archive 1 A01 Amiel Bize Amiel Bize Assistant Professor of Anthropology 40 05bnh6r87 Cornell University Amiel Bize is an Assistant Professor of Anthropology at Cornell University whose research focuses on social and economic transformations at capitalist margins.

What are its silences? In this unit we consider the histories that are embedded in, revealed by and erased by soil.Michel-Rolph Trouillot writes: Silences enter the process of historical production at four crucial moments: the mo- ment of fact creation (the making of sources); the moment of fact assembly (the making of archives); the moment of fact retrieval (the making of narratives); and the moment of introspective significance (the making of history in the final instance) (pp. 26–27)This unit builds on the previous unit’s exploration of soil’s ability to hold and reflect historical metabolisms to consider its role in holding, reflecting or obscuring history more broadly. We ask the following questions to frame this unit’s activities and readings:‒ How can we envision soil as an archive – what does this help us see? What silences are embedded in this archive?<break/>‒ How have soil archives been created and used and in the service of what projects? What erasures are embedded in this process?<break/>‒ How can we reimagine soil as an archive – one that materialises the lasting legacies of imperial histories and racialised social relations? Understanding how social and historical processes manifest materially in the soil can both help us to understand how we live with the legacies of past and ongoing processes, and to take control of the archive – to better understand what those legacies are and how we might reshape them. 30 00 How does soil speak?

Across time and cultures, soil health has often been used as a barometer for societal health. The now predictable argument is that if civilisations do not tend to the health and fertility of their own soil, they will eventually fall. The geologist David Montgomery’s book, Dirt: The Ero- sion of Civilizations, tracks this argument from Mesopotamia to the present while also providing a history of how scientists have come to understand the importance of soil as the ‘skin of the earth’. And yet, the question remains: what is a healthy soil, who gets to decide such things in any given place and time and what measures of coercion or freedom are taken to cultivate ‘healthy’ soil? We might look back and in retrospect see that what was considered healthy was actually harming. Thus, health is a historically and culturally constructed judgement of soil that is never without debate. This unit aims to construct a more nuanced conversation about how human health and soil health have been intertwined at different historical moments. We argue that societies have defined and intervened in soil health in a variety of ways and that we are now living out the legacies of these various definitions. The unit starts by considering how we evaluate soil, building on some of the readings and exercises from Unit 1. We then look at how humans intervene to change soil health, and how soil health changes human health. The final day considers how soil is often seen as a reflection not just of individual bodies, but of the body politic, mirroring some of the topics discussed in the fourth and final unit on soil and belonging. 30 00 What is a healthy soil?

Doing so asks us to consider how the composition of soil is linked to flows of energy and materials and dynamically intertwined with perception and response of various living and non-living processes. We borrow Tim Ingold’s notion of the ‘ecology of material’ to help us think through soil as ‘matter that is always already historical’ and how its mate- rial properties become a matter of concern for present communities and future generations. This unit seeks to answer these questions through 1) introductory overview to the material composition of soil and its relation to use; 2) a review of the ‘metabolic’ turn in soil studies; and 3) an exercise to think through the composition of soil as a form of material memory that shapes future growth.

What are its silences? In this unit we consider the histories that are embedded in, revealed by and erased by soil.Michel-Rolph Trouillot writes: Silences enter the process of historical production at four crucial moments: the mo- ment of fact creation (the making of sources); the moment of fact assembly (the making of archives); the moment of fact retrieval (the making of narratives); and the moment of introspective significance (the making of history in the final instance) (pp. 26–27)This unit builds on the previous unit’s exploration of soil’s ability to hold and reflect historical metabolisms to consider its role in holding, reflecting or obscuring history more broadly. We ask the following questions to frame this unit’s activities and readings:‒ How can we envision soil as an archive – what does this help us see? What silences are embedded in this archive?<break/>‒ How have soil archives been created and used and in the service of what projects? What erasures are embedded in this process?<break/>‒ How can we reimagine soil as an archive – one that materialises the lasting legacies of imperial histories and racialised social relations? Understanding how social and historical processes manifest materially in the soil can both help us to understand how we live with the legacies of past and ongoing processes, and to take control of the archive – to better understand what those legacies are and how we might reshape them. 30 00 How does soil speak?

Across time and cultures, soil health has often been used as a barometer for societal health. The now predictable argument is that if civilisations do not tend to the health and fertility of their own soil, they will eventually fall. The geologist David Montgomery’s book, Dirt: The Ero- sion of Civilizations, tracks this argument from Mesopotamia to the present while also providing a history of how scientists have come to understand the importance of soil as the ‘skin of the earth’. And yet, the question remains: what is a healthy soil, who gets to decide such things in any given place and time and what measures of coercion or freedom are taken to cultivate ‘healthy’ soil? We might look back and in retrospect see that what was considered healthy was actually harming. Thus, health is a historically and culturally constructed judgement of soil that is never without debate. This unit aims to construct a more nuanced conversation about how human health and soil health have been intertwined at different historical moments. We argue that societies have defined and intervened in soil health in a variety of ways and that we are now living out the legacies of these various definitions. The unit starts by considering how we evaluate soil, building on some of the readings and exercises from Unit 1. We then look at how humans intervene to change soil health, and how soil health changes human health. The final day considers how soil is often seen as a reflection not just of individual bodies, but of the body politic, mirroring some of the topics discussed in the fourth and final unit on soil and belonging. 30 00 What is a healthy soil?

The group, as well as Browne’s research, examines exposure as a documentary practice that has been foundational to certain forms of environmental knowledge, as well as integral to counter-documentary practices that work to disclose how trajectories of environmental exposure intersect with legacies and infrastructures of colonialism and racial privilege. 2 A01 Johannes Lehmann Johannes Lehmann Liberty Hyde Bailey Professor of Soil Biogeochemistry 40 05bnh6r87 Cornell University Associate Editor for Proceedings 40 038mfx688 National Academy of Sciences Johannes Lehmann is the Liberty Hyde Bailey Professor of Soil Biogeochemistry at Cornell University. His research focuses on nano-scale investigations of soil organic matter, the biogeochemistry of pyrogenic carbon, sustainable soil management, climate change, biochar systems and the circular economy. He is a member of the US National Academy of Sciences and the German National Academy of Sciences (Leopoldina), and serves as Associate Editor for the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. 01 eng 03 00 In this unit, we approach soil as an active material that contributes to compos- ing (and decomposing!) our lifeworlds. Doing so asks us to consider how the composition of soil is linked to flows of energy and materials and dynamically intertwined with perception and response of various living and non-living processes. We borrow Tim Ingold’s notion of the ‘ecology of material’ to help us think through soil as ‘matter that is always already historical’ and how its mate- rial properties become a matter of concern for present communities and future generations. This unit seeks to answer these questions through 1) introductory overview to the material composition of soil and its relation to use; 2) a review of the ‘metabolic’ turn in soil studies; and 3) an exercise to think through the composition of soil as a form of material memory that shapes future growth. See the source list at the end of the syllabus for full details of suggested reading and viewing materials. 30 00 In this unit, we approach soil as an active material that contributes to compos- ing (and decomposing!) our lifeworlds.

What are its silences? In this unit we consider the histories that are embedded in, revealed by and erased by soil.Michel-Rolph Trouillot writes: Silences enter the process of historical production at four crucial moments: the mo- ment of fact creation (the making of sources); the moment of fact assembly (the making of archives); the moment of fact retrieval (the making of narratives); and the moment of introspective significance (the making of history in the final instance) (pp. 26–27)This unit builds on the previous unit’s exploration of soil’s ability to hold and reflect historical metabolisms to consider its role in holding, reflecting or obscuring history more broadly. We ask the following questions to frame this unit’s activities and readings:‒ How can we envision soil as an archive – what does this help us see? What silences are embedded in this archive?<break/>‒ How have soil archives been created and used and in the service of what projects? What erasures are embedded in this process?<break/>‒ How can we reimagine soil as an archive – one that materialises the lasting legacies of imperial histories and racialised social relations? Understanding how social and historical processes manifest materially in the soil can both help us to understand how we live with the legacies of past and ongoing processes, and to take control of the archive – to better understand what those legacies are and how we might reshape them. 30 00 How does soil speak?

Across time and cultures, soil health has often been used as a barometer for societal health. The now predictable argument is that if civilisations do not tend to the health and fertility of their own soil, they will eventually fall. The geologist David Montgomery’s book, Dirt: The Ero- sion of Civilizations, tracks this argument from Mesopotamia to the present while also providing a history of how scientists have come to understand the importance of soil as the ‘skin of the earth’. And yet, the question remains: what is a healthy soil, who gets to decide such things in any given place and time and what measures of coercion or freedom are taken to cultivate ‘healthy’ soil? We might look back and in retrospect see that what was considered healthy was actually harming. Thus, health is a historically and culturally constructed judgement of soil that is never without debate. This unit aims to construct a more nuanced conversation about how human health and soil health have been intertwined at different historical moments. We argue that societies have defined and intervened in soil health in a variety of ways and that we are now living out the legacies of these various definitions. The unit starts by considering how we evaluate soil, building on some of the readings and exercises from Unit 1. We then look at how humans intervene to change soil health, and how soil health changes human health. The final day considers how soil is often seen as a reflection not just of individual bodies, but of the body politic, mirroring some of the topics discussed in the fourth and final unit on soil and belonging. 30 00 What is a healthy soil?

The need for such pragmatism can be explained with William Connolly’s framework of cultural belonging: in order to act meaningfully, one needs to adapt to the premises of the culture one operates in, causing a challenge for paradigm-shifting environmentalism to become implemented politically.

The Changing Status of Birch Trees in Finnish Forests from the Seventeenth to the Twentieth Century 1 A01 Seija A. Neimi Seija A. Neimi Seija A. Niemi is an independent scholar. Her doctoral thesis (2018) discusses the Finnish-Swedish explorer and scientist Adolf Erik Nordenskiöld (1832–1901) and his place in the history of early Nordic conservation. Her publications include, for example, ‘Exploring environmental literacy from a historical perspective’, in Estelita Vaz, Cristina Joanaz de Melo and Ligia M. Costa Pinto (eds), Environmental History in the Making. Volume I: Explaining (New York: Springer, 2016) and ‘How fossils gave the first hints of climate change’, in Dolly Jörgensen and Sverker Sörlin (eds), Northscapes: History, Technology, and the Making of Northern Environments (Vancouver: University of British Columbia Press, 2013).

This period covers both pre-industrial and industrial socio-economic changes, from the ancient hunters and slash-and-burn cultivators to modern architecture, art and wood processing industries. Finland’s forests are relatively the largest in Europe: 86 % of the country’s surface is covered with the woods. The three most common tree species are pine, spruce and birch. The value of pine and spruce grew significantly when the wood processing industry began to use wood fibres in production, while birch has had its ups and downs which makes it an interesting tree to study. 30 00 This chapter illuminates the changing status of the birch tree, how the Finns have perceived it, and what have Finnish standards of environmental literacy have been from the seventeenth century to the twentieth century.

In this chapter, we shall explore how the concept ‘trash fish’, which refers to those species with little or no value for human consumption, was invented and how it evolved and affected the consumption of fish in Finnish society. A scientific discourse aimed at rationalising fishing by classifying fish species according to their (potential) commercial value, thus promoting the valuable species and labelling a few as trash. More importantly, Finns began to prefer both fresh and imported frozen fish over salted fish. This had a drastic impact on the consumption of fish, marking a change captured in numerous cookbooks. Based on the textual analysis of official documents, fishing manuals, journal articles and cookbooks all published in Finnish, we will explore how value of various fish species reflected changes in scientific and culinary discourses. 30 00 The relationship between the Finns and fish as food changed drastically during the twentieth century.

By cultural nature we refer to the different meanings and attributes groups and individuals give and have given to their surrounding natural environment with its fauna, flora, and waterways. The question is viewed through environmental changes and the meanings connected to reindeer roundups (corrals) and roundup places as an example of human-nature interaction. The reindeer roundups have historically been important social meeting places for subarctic communities, and the roundup events have traditionally been the highlight of the reindeer year. Our empirical focus lies in two reindeer herding cooperatives (Finn. paliskunta), Sattasniemi and Oraniemi, geographically located in the middle of Finnish Lapland ‒ mainly in Sodankylä, and partly in Savukoski and Pelkosenniemi municipalities ‒ and the reindeer roundup processes in these cooperatives. Our key source data consists of archival material, such as the minutes and reports of the Reindeer Herders Association and Sattasniemi co-operative. We have also utilised regional, local and occupational newspapers and magazines from the 1920s to the 2010s. In order to reach the voices of the contemporary herder communities we conducted a Cultural Nature Survey from 22 February to 30 March 2021. In the course of the twentieth century, Mid-Lapland faced enormous environmental changes. Intensive forestry, energy production and the mining industry have physically altered the landscape and disturbed reindeer herding based on natural pasture rotation. Continuity of livelihood and way of life are worrying issues in the region. The feeling of not being heard or understood also affects communities’ nature and reindeer relationships. The more the surrounding natural and cultural environments have changed, the more the Mid-Lappish communities have tried to revitalise the ‘original’ nature-human-reindeer relationship and the nostalgic stories of dense forests, free waterways and untouched wilderness. The locals emphasise their ‘authentic’ Lappish lifestyle, at least in terms of reindeer herding. This endeavour can be regarded as cultural use of nature.<break/>The article was prepared in cooperation between the University of Lapland and the University of Eastern Finland.

Th 03 00 What kind of framings can be detected in Sámi opinions on conservation of nature in Inari? The region has witnessed recurrent conflicts over land usage, fought between forestry officials and Sami herders. Establishment of nature reserves has aroused severe disputes as well, but conservation enjoys continuing support among the Sámi herders. This article charts the preconditions for this state of affairs through cases of the establishment of the state park of Koilliskaira (1975–1982) and recent administrative measures in park administration by the Sami Parliament (2000s). An analysis is undertaken of whether the frames concerning conservation aligned in the administrative setting and the background reasons for the (non-)alignment. The actors studied are those Sámi included in the establishment processes and the park administration: the Sámi herders and the Sami Parliament. The conservation history is contextualised in the history of the Sámi movement and its relations to state actors, the Forest and Park Service (FPS). The case is one of success for both conservationists and Sámi. The Sámi mostly favoured conservation, because the protection of parks meant protection of reindeer herding from competing land-use forms. Later, conservation became a way to manifest the cultural autonomy, self-determination and cultural rights of the Sámi. An institutional source for this success was the marginalisation of the FPS from park establishment processes. The case was framed mostly economically, as a possibility to safeguard the pastures from forestry, and later as a case of indigenous rights. The economic framing resonated well both with conservationists and the general sentiments of the era; only later did indigenous rights clash with environmental values. 30 00 What kind of framings can be detected in Sámi opinions on conservation of nature in Inari?

Wolves and the Finnish Wilderness: Changing Forests and the Proper Place for Wolves in Twentieth-Century Finland 1 A01 Heta Lähdesmäki Heta Lähdesmäki Postdoctoral Researcher 40 040af2s02 University of Helsinki Heta Lähdesmäki is a historian specialising in human-animal studies, human-wildlife conflicts and conservation. She completed a Ph.D. in cultural history in 2020 at the University of Turku, studying human-wolf relations in twentieth century Finland. After that, she studied the relationship between humans and nature in Seili island in a multidisciplinary research project, Seili - Elämän saari, funded by the Kone Foundation and led by the Biodiversity unit at the University of Turku. She is part of the Academy of Finland funded HumBio-project, investigating the human relationship with disappeared, endangered, introduced and non-native, as well as invasive, marine animals and plants in Finland. Currently, Lähdesmäki is a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Helsinki and the Helsinki Institute of Sustainability Science. She is part of the Helsinki Urban Rat Project and studies the history of bird feeding and rat conflicts in Helsinki city. 01 eng 02 00 These days, if wolves roam close to human settlements, people often argue that there is something problematic and unnatural in it.

This is the case especially in western Finland where wolf packs are being observed after a long period of absence. Not everyone living in western Finland has welcomed wolves as neighbours. Local people can argue that wolves should not live in western Finland because there are no wilderness areas there. Wolves have been connected to the wilderness in many countries and regions in the world. In some areas, the notion that the wolf belongs to the wilderness is old: For instance, historian Aleksander Pluskowski has argued that there was a persistent conceptual link between wolves and the wilderness in Britain and Scandinavia during the Middle Ages. In this chapter, I look into this notion and trace its history in the Finnish context by studying newspaper reports, magazine articles and contemporary literature. I argue that the idea that wolves belong to the wilderness is a relatively new and controversial notion connected to various social and environmental changes. Interestingly, at the same time as the idea that the wolf is a wilderness species strengthened, the Finnish environment underwent changes that meant that the areas that could be called wilderness became fewer. 30 00 These days, if wolves roam close to human settlements, people often argue that there is something problematic and unnatural in it.

At the same time its modern form as a public health concern is relatively novel. The purpose of this chapter is to examine the concern about urban air quality in Finland from the late nineteenth century to the late 1960s, when the fear of air pollution rose to new prominence. The chapter shows how nineteenth and early twentieth century concerns over urban air were based on the idea that clean air is beneficial for health. During the twentieth century, this vague hygienic idea was replaced by a more specific view that derived from medical research in industrial environments. From the late 1950s onwards, air pollution measurements and medical research provided a detailed analysis of air quality. As a result, the concern about urban air was directed towards specific pollutants and their potential effects on health. This toxicological approach has been criticised in environmental history for its reductionism. The chapter shows, however, how the same approach was embraced by the environmental critics of the late 1960s. These critics used the toxicological approach to make local air pollution part of the concern about global environmental contamination. The chapter concludes that, despite the new rhetoric of the 1960s, the concern over urban air was in many ways a continuation of the nineteenth century critique about the hazards of urban living and the general progress of civilisation. The longing for clean air was replaced by the ubiquitous threat of toxins in the environment. 30 00 Air pollution can be seen as one of the oldest and most enduring environmental problems in human history.

The chapter analyses three distinctive, yet somewhat overlapping, stages of human-animal relations. The first stage covers much of the first part of the century, when wild animals were perceived almost solely through the prism of their utility to humans. Game animals were considered as resources to be exploited, while predators were feared for the harm they might cause to humans and their domestic animals. As a result, many species from both categories were hunted to the brink of extinction. The second stage, around mid-century, saw the evolution of a more complex relation, when some species that were formerly hunted relentlessly were given protected status. Often these protected species were constructed as having cultural and historical significance for the Finnish people and thus being symbols of Finnishness. The third stage extends from the 1960s to the end of the century and beyond. During this stage, the protection of species and their habitats emerged as an elemental part of environmental discourse, with new labour-intensive techniques to protect wild animals. Yet, more than one tenth of Finnish animal species and half of habitats are endangered, and these trends have shown continuous deterioration. 30 00 This chapter examines the human relationship with wild animals in Finland during the twentieth century.

From the late nineteenth century to the 2020s, the history of forests, forest science and Finnish society consists of four<break/>main periods.<break/>During the first period – know the forests (late nineteenth century–1930s) – society needed and gained information on forests, especially on growing timber stock (the first forest inventory in the 1920s) and wood consumption (the first inventory of wood consumption in the 1930s). In addition, researchers produced knowledge for<break/>silvicultural practices and forest biology. Rationalising forestry and developing timber procurement were seen as essential during the second period – exploit the forests (1940s–1960s). Since timber removals exceeded annual growth, the state launched massive forest improvement actions. Large clear-cuttings were regenerated with conifer saplings and massive draining of bogs was enacted. As a result, society more extensively exploited and influenced the forests.<break/>During the third period – define the forests (1970s–1990s) –forests were no longer respected merely as a source of economic prosperity. Escalating disputes came about when environmental activism and public discussions challenged forestry practices. Scientific knowledge became imbricated, besides traditional forestry values, also with nature conservation, recreational and environmental values related to forests. <break/>During the 1990s, changes in forest legislation paved the way for more pluralistic values of forests.<break/>During the most recent period – discover forests’ futures (2000s–) – climate change and conflicting human-forest relationships set new demands for forestry and forest science. Forests’ importance has grown from the private and national level to the global context. Forests are respected as carbon sinks and storage, for their rich biodiversity, and as a source of mental and physical health. Forests as living entities are often recognised and new steps have been taken towards more pluralistic human-forest relationships, posthumanism and interspecies perspectives. 30 00 Finnish forestry and forest science reflect demands set by the state administration and the forest industry but also private forest and nature conservation organisations, and nowadays private citizens e.g., through social media. From the late nineteenth century to the 2020s, the history of forests, forest science and Finnish society consists of four<break/>main periods.<break/>During the first period – know the forests (late nineteenth century–1930s) – society needed and gained information on forests, especially on growing timber stock (the first forest inventory in the 1920s) and wood consumption (the first inventory of wood consumption in the 1930s). In addition, researchers produced knowledge for<break/>silvicultural practices and forest biology. Rationalising forestry and developing timber procurement were seen as essential during the second period – exploit the forests (1940s–1960s). Since timber removals exceeded annual growth, the state launched massive forest improvement actions. Large clear-cuttings were regenerated with conifer saplings and massive draining of bogs was enacted. As a result, society more extensively exploited and influenced the forests.<break/>During the third period – define the forests (1970s–1990s) –forests were no longer respected merely as a source of economic prosperity. Escalating disputes came about when environmental activism and public discussions challenged forestry practices. Scientific knowledge became imbricated, besides traditional forestry values, also with nature conservation, recreational and environmental values related to forests. <break/>During the 1990s, changes in forest legislation paved the way for more pluralistic values of forests.<break/>During the most recent period – discover forests’ futures (2000s–) – climate change and conflicting human-forest relationships set new demands for forestry and forest science. Forests’ importance has grown from the private and national level to the global context. Forests are respected as carbon sinks and storage, for their rich biodiversity, and as a source of mental and physical health. Forests as living entities are often recognised and new steps have been taken towards more pluralistic human-forest relationships, posthumanism and interspecies perspectives. 20 00 Open Access The White Horse Press 4 03 06 10.3197/63824846758018.ch03 31 47 17 Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 2.0 Generic license (CC BY-NC-ND 2.0). 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/2.0/ Chapter 01 01 Chapter 3. ‘Reaching Maturity’ or ‘Selling Out’?

This period covers both pre-industrial and industrial socio-economic changes, from the ancient hunters and slash-and-burn cultivators to modern architecture, art and wood processing industries. Finland’s forests are relatively the largest in Europe: 86 % of the country’s surface is covered with the woods. The three most common tree species are pine, spruce and birch. The value of pine and spruce grew significantly when the wood processing industry began to use wood fibres in production, while birch has had its ups and downs which makes it an interesting tree to study. 30 00 This chapter illuminates the changing status of the birch tree, how the Finns have perceived it, and what have Finnish standards of environmental literacy have been from the seventeenth century to the twentieth century.

In this chapter, we shall explore how the concept ‘trash fish’, which refers to those species with little or no value for human consumption, was invented and how it evolved and affected the consumption of fish in Finnish society. A scientific discourse aimed at rationalising fishing by classifying fish species according to their (potential) commercial value, thus promoting the valuable species and labelling a few as trash. More importantly, Finns began to prefer both fresh and imported frozen fish over salted fish. This had a drastic impact on the consumption of fish, marking a change captured in numerous cookbooks. Based on the textual analysis of official documents, fishing manuals, journal articles and cookbooks all published in Finnish, we will explore how value of various fish species reflected changes in scientific and culinary discourses. 30 00 The relationship between the Finns and fish as food changed drastically during the twentieth century.

By cultural nature we refer to the different meanings and attributes groups and individuals give and have given to their surrounding natural environment with its fauna, flora, and waterways. The question is viewed through environmental changes and the meanings connected to reindeer roundups (corrals) and roundup places as an example of human-nature interaction. The reindeer roundups have historically been important social meeting places for subarctic communities, and the roundup events have traditionally been the highlight of the reindeer year. Our empirical focus lies in two reindeer herding cooperatives (Finn. paliskunta), Sattasniemi and Oraniemi, geographically located in the middle of Finnish Lapland ‒ mainly in Sodankylä, and partly in Savukoski and Pelkosenniemi municipalities ‒ and the reindeer roundup processes in these cooperatives. Our key source data consists of archival material, such as the minutes and reports of the Reindeer Herders Association and Sattasniemi co-operative. We have also utilised regional, local and occupational newspapers and magazines from the 1920s to the 2010s. In order to reach the voices of the contemporary herder communities we conducted a Cultural Nature Survey from 22 February to 30 March 2021. In the course of the twentieth century, Mid-Lapland faced enormous environmental changes. Intensive forestry, energy production and the mining industry have physically altered the landscape and disturbed reindeer herding based on natural pasture rotation. Continuity of livelihood and way of life are worrying issues in the region. The feeling of not being heard or understood also affects communities’ nature and reindeer relationships. The more the surrounding natural and cultural environments have changed, the more the Mid-Lappish communities have tried to revitalise the ‘original’ nature-human-reindeer relationship and the nostalgic stories of dense forests, free waterways and untouched wilderness. The locals emphasise their ‘authentic’ Lappish lifestyle, at least in terms of reindeer herding.

The region has witnessed recurrent conflicts over land usage, fought between forestry officials and Sami herders. Establishment of nature reserves has aroused severe disputes as well, but conservation enjoys continuing support among the Sámi herders. This article charts the preconditions for this state of affairs through cases of the establishment of the state park of Koilliskaira (1975–1982) and recent administrative measures in park administration by the Sami Parliament (2000s). An analysis is undertaken of whether the frames concerning conservation aligned in the administrative setting and the background reasons for the (non-)alignment. The actors studied are those Sámi included in the establishment processes and the park administration: the Sámi herders and the Sami Parliament. The conservation history is contextualised in the history of the Sámi movement and its relations to state actors, the Forest and Park Service (FPS). The case is one of success for both conservationists and Sámi. The Sámi mostly favoured conservation, because the protection of parks meant protection of reindeer herding from competing land-use forms. Later, conservation became a way to manifest the cultural autonomy, self-determination and cultural rights of the Sámi. An institutional source for this success was the marginalisation of the FPS from park establishment processes. The case was framed mostly economically, as a possibility to safeguard the pastures from forestry, and later as a case of indigenous rights. The economic framing resonated well both with conservationists and the general sentiments of the era; only later did indigenous rights clash with environmental values. 30 00 What kind of framings can be detected in Sámi opinions on conservation of nature in Inari?

Local people can argue that wolves should not live in western Finland because there are no wilderness areas there. Wolves have been connected to the wilderness in many countries and regions in the world. In some areas, the notion that the wolf belongs to the wilderness is old: For instance, historian Aleksander Pluskowski has argued that there was a persistent conceptual link between wolves and the wilderness in Britain and Scandinavia during the Middle Ages. In this chapter, I look into this notion and trace its history in the Finnish context by studying newspaper reports, magazine articles and contemporary literature. I argue that the idea that wolves belong to the wilderness is a relatively new and controversial notion connected to various social and environmental changes. Interestingly, at the same time as the idea that the wolf is a wilderness species strengthened, the Finnish environment underwent changes that meant that the areas that could be called wilderness became fewer. 30 00 These days, if wolves roam close to human settlements, people often argue that there is something problematic and unnatural in it.

At the same time its modern form as a public health concern is relatively novel. The purpose of this chapter is to examine the concern about urban air quality in Finland from the late nineteenth century to the late 1960s, when the fear of air pollution rose to new prominence. The chapter shows how nineteenth and early twentieth century concerns over urban air were based on the idea that clean air is beneficial for health. During the twentieth century, this vague hygienic idea was replaced by a more specific view that derived from medical research in industrial environments. From the late 1950s onwards, air pollution measurements and medical research provided a detailed analysis of air quality. As a result, the concern about urban air was directed towards specific pollutants and their potential effects on health. This toxicological approach has been criticised in environmental history for its reductionism. The chapter shows, however, how the same approach was embraced by the environmental critics of the late 1960s. These critics used the toxicological approach to make local air pollution part of the concern about global environmental contamination. The chapter concludes that, despite the new rhetoric of the 1960s, the concern over urban air was in many ways a continuation of the nineteenth century critique about the hazards of urban living and the general progress of civilisation. The longing for clean air was replaced by the ubiquitous threat of toxins in the environment. 30 00 Air pollution can be seen as one of the oldest and most enduring environmental problems in human history.

The chapter analyses three distinctive, yet somewhat overlapping, stages of human-animal relations. The first stage covers much of the first part of the century, when wild animals were perceived almost solely through the prism of their utility to humans. Game animals were considered as resources to be exploited, while predators were feared for the harm they might cause to humans and their domestic animals. As a result, many species from both categories were hunted to the brink of extinction. The second stage, around mid-century, saw the evolution of a more complex relation, when some species that were formerly hunted relentlessly were given protected status. Often these protected species were constructed as having cultural and historical significance for the Finnish people and thus being symbols of Finnishness. The third stage extends from the 1960s to the end of the century and beyond. During this stage, the protection of species and their habitats emerged as an elemental part of environmental discourse, with new labour-intensive techniques to protect wild animals. Yet, more than one tenth of Finnish animal species and half of habitats are endangered, and these trends have shown continuous deterioration. 30 00 This chapter examines the human relationship with wild animals in Finland during the twentieth century.

The long dureé facilitates understanding of how warfare among pastoralist communities in earlier centuries contributed to political, economic and ethnic shifts across the grazing lands in East Africa. The book discusses herder warfare from the perspective of warfare ecology, highlighting the interrelations between environmental and cultural causalities – including droughts, famine, floods, ritual wars, religious wars and migrations – and the processes and consequences of war. Regional synthesis concentrates on frontiers of conflicts extending from the White Nile Basin in south Sudan – into the southern savannas of East Africa, the Great East African Rift Valley, and the northern and southern Horn of Africa – examining historical military power shifts between diverse pastoralist cultures. Case studies are set in the coastal hinterland of East Africa and the Jubaland-Wajir frontiers. Warfare combined with environmental disasters caused social-economic breakdowns and the enslavement of defeated groups. The dynamics of herder warfare changed after colonial entry, response to pastoralist resistance and slave emancipation. The book is of interest to specialist and non-specialist readers exploring pastoralism, social anthropology and warfare and conflict studies; and is suitable for introductory graduate courses in environmental and social history of warfare. 30 00 "Herder Warfare in East Africa" presents a regional analysis of the spatial and social history of warfare among the nomadic peoples of East Africa, covering a period of 600 years.

The book is of interest to specialist and non-specialist readers exploring pastoralism, social anthropology and warfare and conflict studies; and is suitable for introductory graduate courses in environmental and social history of warfare. 01 00 03 02 Photograph of nomadic pastoralists in martial attire, walking across an arid African landscape. 02 https://www.whpress.co.uk/publications/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/9781874267966.jpg 01 URL https://whpress.co.uk/ The White Horse Press 01 The White Horse Press 01 Publisher's website: home page https://www.whpress.co.uk/ 02 Publisher's website: webpage for this title https://www.whpress.co.uk/publications/2017/05/18/herder-warfare-in-east-africa/ Winwick, UK 04 01 20170515 The White Horse Press 02 WORLD 06 15 9781874267966 03 9781874267966 WORLD 09 The White Horse Press 02 Publisher's website: webpage for this product https://www.whpress.co.uk/publications/2017/05/18/herder-warfare-in-east-africa/ 20 08 20170515 01 urn:uuid:d8509765-3b4e-4cb2-bdf4-048a6affdf72 03 01 01 thoth-work-id urn:uuid:1f505df7-5d2d-4e6c-be45-c167f02576f6 01 thoth-publication-id urn:uuid:d8509765-3b4e-4cb2-bdf4-048a6affdf72 15 9781912186860 03 9781912186860 06 10.3197/63853892508906.book 00 BB 10 01 229 mm 01 22.9 cm 01 9.02 in 02 152 mm 02 15.2 cm 02 5.98 in Unspecified 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/deed.en 01 01 Heritage at War Plan and Prepare 1 B01 21 0000000178735857 Mark Dunkley Mark Dunkley Visiting Fellow 40 05cncd958 Cranfield University Fellow Society of Antiquaries of London Mark Dunkley is a Visiting Fellow at Cranfield University, a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries of London and an Associate of the Security Institute.

'Modern Pastoralism and Conservation: Old Problems, New Challenges' presents new pastoral research from Africa, the Middle East and Asia. The volume addresses the nature and viability of pastoralism in practice and examines current pastoral conditions in diverse locations. Pastoralists engage with changing climatic and environmental conditions whilst encountering policy, population and socio-economic challenges. Issues of transformation and sustainability are at the heart of the book, whose chapters highlight the contemporary practice of pastoralism in order to enhance understanding of this unique livelihood and lifestyle.

This book’s chapters originate in papers presented at CNP sessions during the 2009 IUAES Congress in Kunming, China.

This approach identified both the impact of rapid development on nomadic practices and livelihoods in China and the country’s growing integration into the global pastoral research community.

Previously she held a postdoctoral fellowship at the department of Culture, Politics and Society at the University of Turin, and a Max Weber Fellowship at the European University Institute. Greta was affiliated to the Pastoralism Uncertainty and Resilience (PASTRES) programme as post-doctoral researcher. She earned a Ph.D. from the Oxford Department of International Development with a critical study of pastoralism and development in the arid lands of northern Kenya. In her research, with the support of visuals like photographs and creative writing, she aims to bring a people, a place and a culture to life in the eyes and hearts of those who have not been there. 01 eng 00 316 03 09 39 11 5 93 JBS 10 SOC026000 93 JBSL1 10 SOC008010 93 JPSL 10 SOC042000 01 06 02 00 Moving Deserts re-examines the concept of resilience, as applied in the development sector.

It gives central stage to the voices, experiences, memories and everyday lives of the people whose resilience is the subject of much international attention and financial aid flows. Building a bridge between the perspectives of practitioners and local communities, Moving Deserts reveals a story about life, struggle and hope among Turkana herders, a story woven by following the movements and relations of the author's hosts and interlocutors during fourteen months of ethnographic fieldwork. The volume argues that it is in their very mobility that the meaning of resilience resides: mobility as physical movements to reach ephemeral and unevenly spread resources; mobility as social connections to weave a social fabric that also works as safety net; mobility as fluid identities, never static but plastic, capable of taking on new shapes and adapting to changes. The drylands and their inhabitants, largely pastoral populations, are the spine of the book. Drylands often fall in the imaginary of the remote, the deserted, the unproductive, a powerful imaginary rooted in romantic narratives, as well as in political and economic interests. At a time of rising alarm about climate change, mass migrations and energy requirements, drylands are returning to the international stage with a focus on building resilience. This book asks what we can learn about ‘pastoral development’, currently discussed in the international development regime under the label of resilience, by switching perspective and following pastoralists’ lived experiences? 30 00 Moving Deserts re-examines the concept of resilience, as applied in the development sector.

It gives central stage to the voices, experiences, memories and everyday lives of the people whose resilience is the subject of much international attention and financial aid flows. Building a bridge between the perspectives of practitioners and local communities, Moving Deserts reveals a story about life, struggle and hope among Turkana herders, a story woven by following the movements and relations of the author's hosts and interlocutors during fourteen months of ethnographic fieldwork. The volume argues that it is in their very mobility that the meaning of resilience resides: mobility as physical movements to reach ephemeral and unevenly spread resources; mobility as social connections to weave a social fabric that also works as safety net; mobility as fluid identities, never static but plastic, capable of taking on new shapes and adapting to changes.

Through artful endeavours such as creative writing, photography, filmmaking, drawing and poetry, the volume aims to overcome the shortcomings of conventional, anthropocentric and logocentric methods in multispecies research. To move beyond the limitations of language and linguistic communication, the contributors build on the long tradition of visual and sensory anthropology while also engaging in and consciously reflecting on innovative, creative and artistic methods. Taking a multispecies and more-than-human perspective – ranging from snow and trees to animals and an AI oracle – the volume investigates ways to touch, speak, listen, feel, walk with and reach across different species.This book and accompanying multimedia website advance the frontier of publishing artful expressions of academic research by highlighting how creative practices can be the very core of data collection, analysis and the communication of research. As such, the artful pieces are not ‘just’ illustrations of textual representations, but are practised as part of an iterative process of data collection and analysis. The contributions by well-established scholars, early career researchers and postgraduates who carry out new, cutting-edge research offer an engaging range of analytical, methodological and empiric orientations, while conversing at the intersection of multispecies ethnography and artful methods. 30 00 Multispecies Ethnography and Artful Methods explores the potential of multimodal art practices in doing qualitative research beyond the human.

Singing as a tactile mode of active and responsive engagement in the world is also proposed by anthropologist Tim Ingold (2002). His notion of a ‘poetics of dwelling’ refers to songs and poetic storytelling as ways of ‘art’-full living, with art not understood as a way of representing the world but as a craft of attentive living in and resonating with the vibrant presence of other-than human beings. In this contribution, the authors join these calls to ‘re-wild our language’ and ‘to sing the landscape back into being, as well as to sing one’s being back into it’ (Macfarlane, 2016). They do so by sharing their experimental song writing that they developed ‘to sing into life’ two significant nonhuman others. This song writing originated in an Arts-Science collaboration with the Dutch experience design collective called Polymorf. They combined ethnography with AI technology and speculative design. The first song was written for a speculative fictional being, called AIIA: an AI-animated planetary director and artistic composer of poetic dwelling in a more-than-human world. The second was written for the Waal, the river flowing through the city of Nijmegen. For this river song the authors did instant experimental fieldwork on human-river relatedness in the setting of an urban arthouse. Based on the input received from the audience, they composed a part-song that will eventually be performed at the riverside to heal and enchant the river, as well as inspire AIIA’s multispecies knowledge. In this contribution the authors reflect on this arts-science-society collaboration, and how it evoked their creative writing in multispecies ethnography. This chapter includes ten visuals from Polymorf that were co-created with AI in the process of song writing. 30 00 In order to rearrange our relation to a living planet, writer Amitav Ghosh (2022: 84) urges us to sing and narrate all beings into life, and in so doing to learn from other cosmological understandings of the world.

For this river song the authors did instant experimental fieldwork on human-river relatedness in the setting of an urban arthouse. Based on the input received from the audience, they composed a part-song that will eventually be performed at the riverside to heal and enchant the river, as well as inspire AIIA’s multispecies knowledge. In this contribution the authors reflect on this arts-science-society collaboration, and how it evoked their creative writing in multispecies ethnography. This chapter includes ten visuals from Polymorf that were co-created with AI in the process of song writing. 20 00 Open Access 13 00 [essay, poetry and AI visuals] Catrien Notermans Anke Tonnaer Marcel van Brakel 3 03 06 10.63308/63878687083054.ch02 64 81 18 Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International license (CC BY-NC-ND 4.0). 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ Chapter 01 01 2. EARTH SWIMMERS / ON CAPTURE A PRACTICE- BASED ETHNOGRAPHY OF MOLE CATCHING AND FILM MAKING IN NORTH YORKSHIRE 1 A01 21 0000000304626572 Hermione Spriggs Hermione Spriggs Hermione Spriggs is an artist, writer and researcher. Her current Ph.D. research explores art and creativity through the lens of land-based practice in North Yorkshire, through long-term collaboration with traditional mole catchers and other unlikely stewards of the land. Public / participatory art projects draw from this ethnographic context and from broader interests in rural folk practices, radical anthropology, hunting lore and female trickster intelligence. Hermione gained an MFA in Visual Art at UC San Diego (2012) and a BSc in Anthropology from UCL (2008). Her edited book Five Heads: Art, Anthropology and Mongol-Futurism is published by Sternberg Press. Current projects include an edible public artwork for Kings Hedges Cambridge, learning to echolocate as Bat Choir, and ongoing collaborative work exploring practices of attention and alternative forms of community organisation. 03 00 The film Earth Swimmers (2021) attends to the tricks and techniques that mole catchers use to access the underground world of the mole. Using tools as portals into the mole’s vibratory world, probes, feet, noses and rain-making instruments lead the viewer into alternative ways of sensing and knowing the earth. This film emerged within a larger body of work resulting from direct collaboration with a professional mole catcher – one outcome of long-term ethnographic fieldwork investigating rural pest control practices and attitudes to land in rural North Yorkshire, UK. This chapter describes the author’s hunting collaborators’ practical and intimate engagement with the worlds of ‘vermin’ species in North Yorkshire, where she spent a year apprenticing to rural pest controllers in 2020–21. The chapter shows how specific skills and techniques of the body underpin and make possible the empathic understanding that enables a trapper first to think like a prey animal, and then to reach into its world through ‘respectful deception’ (Anderson et al., 2017), taking its life with minimum disruption and making use of its body as food or repurposing it otherwise. The artful engagements of the author’s interlocutors with the worlds or umwelten (Uexküll, 2010) of other animal species provides a generative model for her own perspectival manoeuvres as she experiments with Nigel, the mole catcher and central collaborator in the film, and his relationship to moles, and how to responsibly negotiate with death herself in the making of the film Earth Swimmers (2021). The author argues for the value of ‘anthropological borrowing’, pointing to the creative potential and theoretical productivity of methods, forms and concepts from the field. Specifically, the mole catcher taught her creative multispecies methods, such as animal tracking and tactical probing, inviting the author to engage with anthropological theory in a practical way, decentring her own perspective, making room for the perception, agency and subjectivity of nonhuman others. 30 00 The film Earth Swimmers (2021) attends to the tricks and techniques that mole catchers use to access the underground world of the mole.

THE SOUNDS OF SNOW AN EXPLORATION OF HUMAN-SNOW RELATIONS IN ILULISSAT, KALAALLIT NUNAAT 1 A01 Nanna Kisby Nanna Kisby Nanna obtained her MSc in Cultural Anthropology: Sustainable Citizenship at Utrecht University in the Netherlands. Her thesis focused on human-snow relations in Ilulissat, Kalaallit Nunaat, and shows how nonhuman matter (such as snow) has an inherent agency. She obtained her BSc in Anthropology at Aarhus University in Denmark. Nanna also has a background in art and movement studies, which has inspired her to draw on artistic methods and bodily inquiry in her ethnographic work. Throughout her fieldwork in Ilulissat, Nanna experimented with data collection through a combination of methods in order to capture aspects of human-snow relations that escape the written word. These methods included recording soundscapes, photography, and exploring snow through sensory ethnography. Nanna currently works for a small company in the Dutch energy sector. In her work, she conducts cultural analyses and co-coordinates a project in Egypt developing Vocational Education and Training (VET) programs on sustain- ability and green hydrogen. 01 eng 03 00 Snow is ever present during the long winter months in Ilulissat, Kalaallit Nunaat (Greenland). It covers houses, doorways, roads, cars, sleeping dogs, and mountains. It shapes the landscape, re-configures town infrastructure, and hinders – as well as enables –human practices. In order to understand human life in Ilulissat, it is crucial to understand snow and its behavior. This chapter therefore focuses on snow as a vibrant materiality (Bennett, 2010) that acts from certain inherent capacities: snow is a shape shifter, it moves, it takes up space, it is a source of life, and it produces impressions that can be registered by, for example, human senses. These capacities of snow influence its relationship with other actors in more-than-human assemblages. In order to study these capacities of snow, the author made use of artistic methods and sensory ethnography in addition to traditional ethnographic methods during her fieldwork in Ilulissat. In particular, soundscapes and photography enabled her to explore the ways in which snow behaves, and to capture its various manifestations. Artistic methods also created the possibility to collaborate with snow as a nonhuman actor in the process of making art, in order to share the research findings with other humans. The author shows that artistic methods function as a bridge between the nonhuman and the human, and help in producing art as embodied knowledge. This chapter includes four sound recordings and six photographs. At specified moments in the chapter, the author invites the readers to listen to the snow recordings and to look at the images and thus to go with her on a multi-sensory journey to meet the snow in Ilulissat. 30 00 Snow is ever present during the long winter months in Ilulissat, Kalaallit Nunaat (Greenland).

THE ENDURING PRESENCE OF THE EUCALYPTUS TREE A PHOTO ESSAY 1 A01 21 0000000224743365 Natasha Fijn Nastasha Fijn Director of the Mongolia Institute 40 019wvm592 Australian National University Natasha Fijn is Director of the Australian National University’s Mongolia Institute. She has been awarded a mid-career ARC Future Fellowship to conduct research on ‘A Multi-species Anthropological Approach to Influenza’ (2022–2026). Natasha wrote a seminal multispecies ethnography based in Mongolia, Living with Herds: Human-animal Coexistence in Mongolia (2011). She has co-edited five books and several journal volumes, including three special issues oriented toward visual anthropology and ethnographic filmmaking, and three engaging with multispecies and sensory anthropology in the journals Inner Asia (2020), The Australian Journal of Anthropology (2020) and Anthropology Today (2023). She recently (2023) published a co-edited book with Routledge, Nurturing Alternative Futures: Living with Diversity in a More-than-human World. 01 eng 03 00 The strength of the photo essay in multispecies anthropological research is the close integration between still images and the accompanying text as a form of ethnographic narrative. How can the structure of the photo essay provide an experimental medium for conceptualising multispecies ethnography, while communicating engagement with more-than-human subjects? The photo essay included here employs an experimental creative approach featuring large, lone eucalypts as significant beings on the fringes of the reserves and suburbs of Canberra, the capital city of Australia. As sentinels, these canopy trees have witnessed different forms of human presence over as much as a five-century lifespan: from ancestral Ngunnuwal making marks on such trees, viewed by individual Aboriginal Australians as kin; to present-day workers in newly developed suburbs manicuring newly formed lawns and gardens beneath the shade of these trees. The author has produced other multispecies-oriented photo essays as an ongoing form of experimentation with the sensory and juxtaposition of still images with text to form an ethnographic narrative. The photo essay comprises a series of images in two parts with accompanying text forming explanatory captions, the combination of image and text then helping to build a multispecies story. The first part of the photo essay connects with individual Eucalypts in reserves, while the second part foregrounds individual trees within a new development, the suburb of Ginninderry. The author highlights how the photo essay can be effective in allowing for more-than-human subjectivity and agency. The focus on individual eucalypt trees within the photo essay is an extension of the author’s connection with individual trees and a part of her ongoing creative expression with a focus on sensorial and multispecies entanglements with significant others. Accompanying the photo essay is a description in the form of an ‘artnographic statement’ of Fijn’s methodology in combining multispecies ethnography with photography, followed by an explanatory section connecting the differing Abo- riginal Australian perspectives from those of wider settler-Australian attitudes towards individual Eucalypts in the context of Australia’s capital. 30 00 The strength of the photo essay in multispecies anthropological research is the close integration between still images and the accompanying text as a form of ethnographic narrative.

The research, made individually and through collaboration, is made public through exhibitions, events and published texts. Bartram is Professor of Contemporary Art and Co-Lead for the Creative and Cultural Industries Academic Theme and Research Centre at the University of Derby. Amongst other board affiliations, she is Vice President of the Society for Artistic Research and Trustee of the Board of Directors of the Live Art Development Agency. Her Ph.D. in Fine Art is from Middlesex University. 2 A01 21 0009000054830622 Lee Deigaard Lee Deigaard Lee Deigaard explores the topographies where one consciousness encounters another, describing a landscape given shape and substance by its animal protagonists, their sensory and imaginative worlds and their autonomy. With language, photography/video, installation, event and drawing, her work approaches the animal from positions of equality, collaboration and mutual curiosity and looks at multi-species empathy, animal cognition and personality, memory and grief, and the nature of intimacy. As an independent artist, writer and researcher based in urban Louisiana and rural Georgia, she has exhibited and presented her work nationally and internationally. Her writing and artwork have been published in Oxford American, Humanimalia, and Antennae: The Journal of Nature in Visual Culture among others. She holds degrees from Yale University, the University of Texas at Austin, and the University of Michigan. She is one half of the trans-Atlantic collaborative duos, Bartram + Deigaard and DULSE (with the novelist Mandy Suzanne-Wong of Bermuda). 01 eng 03 00 Bartram + Deigaard are the collaborative duo of artists Lee Deigaard (US) and Angela Bartram (UK) engaged in a transoceanic, international collaboration and dialogue exploring dualities of mind and being, multi-species empathy and the ethics of animal collaboration. Bartram + Deigaard test the edges, the margins, the overlaps and the interstitial spaces of and within collaboration and interspecies potential ‘doubling(s)’ in their artistic research. Doubling here relates to mirroring and sharing between species, of mind and body, and the myriad divergences that bind through the recognition of this process. Brought together by a shared brain mentality with regard to animal studies, as that which is a recognised field of discourse, and of being and not being, recognising and refusing to affirm the non-human as apart from our common animality, they work sympathetically and empathetically although situated geographically far apart. Born of an openness to involve the non-human fully in creative thinking, making and staging, they create situations of co-learning where all collaborators can contribute and learn from each other, and they willingly embrace the unanticipated shifts to the process each species brings. Using diverse methods, processes and materials, and curious to a myriad of opening potentialities, they explore working as humans from an animal-centric perspective. They bring sensitivities to their research with the non-human animal as both artistic subject and collaborator, of behaving as animal to observe and engage with empathy and openness to the unexpected, and particularly to animal insight and revelation. Iterative long-term projects in photography, video, installation, drawing and printmaking foreground proximity and proprioceptive, nearly devotional studio and caretaking practices centring on respiration and companionate movement. This text explores being mindful and sensible with balancing sympathies and empathies within an often-unbalanced system of agency predicated in environments structured by and for humans (including spaces intended for animal habitation). It discusses the unscripted learning that occurs through interspecies collaboration, and what each animal (human and non-human) can teach the other when both are given full creative agency. Offering examples of their own individual and collaborative work within a critical framework to explain pertinent propositions and findings, it will demonstrate how openness is key for possibilities to flourish. It will discuss how equality and responsive creative co-learning environments can produce revelatory results creatively instigated and directed by the non-human.

ATTENDING TO FIREBUGS ARTISTIC INVESTIGATIONS FOR RESPECTFUL CORRESPONDENCES 1 A01 21 0000000299758668 Charlotte Dorn Charlotte Dorn Artistic Ph.D. candidate 40 02gkfsf47 LUCA School of Arts Artistic Ph.D. candidate 40 05f950310 KU Leuven Charlotte Dorn is an artist and researcher living in Brussels and doing an artistic Ph.D. at LUCA School of Arts and KU Leuven. She took her Masters in Art at the Accademia di Belle Arti die Napoli and her Bachelor in the Arts at the Académie des Beaux-Arts Nantes Métropole and the Universidad de Sevilla, Campus Bellas Artes. Her work is on display in exhibitions such as the Centrale for Contemporary Art in Brussels or residencies like the International Latgale Graphic Art Symposium in Daugavpils, Latvia. Dorn’s artwork mainly consists of printmaking. Through drawing and life observation, she approaches insect worlds, with a current focus on firebugs. Key interests in her research are empathetic engagement through images and through the creative process, as well as the representation of insects as actants and processes. 01 eng 03 00 In this piece, Charlotte Dorn engages in a loving attention towards firebugs as a basis for an ethical aesthetic that she develops through multispecies ethnography enriched by still images, video, sound recordings, drawing and printmaking. This photo essay elaborates on how Dorn engages with concrete artistic methodologies, the photos are a selection of fieldwork registrations and their further artistic processing. The reader follows Dorn, through text and photos, from her fieldwork through to the analysis phase, where ideas on firebugs and multispecies worlds are further developed and rendered tangible through drawing, as well as wood- and linocut. Importantly, the slowness of the creative process gives space to let the fieldwork experience with firebugs sink in and come back to the sensory experience over and over again. Seeking to understand how firebugs inhabit the world, artistic practices here further knowledge production that connects rather than objectifies; taking a holistic approach toward experiences with animals gives space to cognitive, physical, sensorial and affective aspects of the encounter. The sponginess of artistic modes of perception leads to individual and multi-layered perspectives on animality. It also suggests that much of the non-human animal is not yet understood and remains mysterious. 30 00 In this piece, Charlotte Dorn engages in a loving attention towards firebugs as a basis for an ethical aesthetic that she develops through multispecies ethnography enriched by still images, video, sound recordings, drawing and printmaking.

FARMING COWS AND WORMS 1 A01 Simone de Boer Simone de Boer Ph.D. candidate in Social Anthropology 40 01tm6cn81 University of Gothenburg Simone de Boer is a Ph.D. candidate in Social Anthropology at the University of Gothenburg, School of Global Studies. In her research she focuses on the development and meaning of organic and permaculture farming in Kyrgyzstan. Using ethnographic and creative methods, she explores processes of learning and knowing, more-than-human relationships, and ‘good farmer’ identities. The creative methods she employs include photography, video, drawing, creative writing and workshops with interlocutors. Simone’s educational background is in Cultural Anthropology and Film & Photographic Studies (Leiden University, the Netherlands). In her previous research in Kyrgyzstan, she studied (transformations of ) ‘traditional’ horse games and human-horse relationships in the context of increasing tourism, processes of sportification, and the development of mega sporting events. In 2018–2019, she was one of Leiden’s City Photographers, creating ethnographic photo essays for the city newspaper in collaboration with fellow anthropologists. 2 A01 21 0000000301750869 Hanna Charlotta Wernersson Hanna Charlotta Wernersson Ph.D. candidate at the School of Global Studies 40 01tm6cn81 University of Gothenburg Hanna is a Ph.D. candidate at the School of Global Studies within the field of environmental social science. In her Ph.D. project, she studies conceptualisations and performances of ‘holistic’ management among regenerative cattle farmers in Sweden. Using ethnographic and creative methods, Hanna explores the ethical and practical relationships to nonhuman nature that are produced in and through daily farm doings. Creative writing, drawing and soundscape-making are examples of Hanna’s methodology. Hanna has a MSc in socio-ecological resilience from Stockholm Resilience Center. Her professional experience includes working as Course Coordinator at the Center for Environment and Development Studies at Uppsala University, Sweden, and as Agricultural Marketing Specialist for the US Foreign Agricultural Service, Canada. Hanna also farms twelve hectares of land, exploring what ‘good’ land management could mean on the clay soils of western Sweden. 01 eng 03 00 This piece presents a multimedia montage that explores multispecies relationships in three different farming contexts: human-worm relationships in Kyrgyz compost heaps, and human-cow (or bull) relationships on two divergent Swedish cattle farms, one family farm (cow-calf farm) and one industrial farm (bull-breeding farm). The video montage is made up of different mixed media, consisting of video and still images, drawings, sounds, and quotations from informants. The visual piece is accompanied by three kinds of written comments. The montage companion gives more details about the authors’ motivations for artistic work, and about the circumstances of their encounter and how they creatively worked together. In their experience, artistic work has helped them to sustain their curiosity for their object, but also to give place to contradictions (love and violence, for example); creativity contributed to open their senses to a multisensorial ethnography. Taken together, these elements allow the authors to explore multispecies socialities and let the non-human ‘speak for themselves’. The montage guide accompanies the readers by giving them a more detailed subtext. That part is necessary for making sense of what has been sensed or intuited during the first viewing of the montage. With the montage guide, the reader can come back to each moment, pause, reflect on it, and connect it to the research question. With this addition, the whole process makes sense and we can see how artistic methods make a difference. Lastly, the artnographic statement explains the context of the research and presents the main question: what is a ‘good’ relationship in human-animal relationships where animals are kept with human food in mind? It explains how the material of the montage was created and why their joint engagements with artful methods matter to the authors in addressing the question. 30 00 This piece presents a multimedia montage that explores multispecies relationships in three different farming contexts: human-worm relationships in Kyrgyz compost heaps, and human-cow (or bull) relationships on two divergent Swedish cattle farms, one family farm (cow-calf farm) and one industrial farm (bull-breeding farm).

With this background, she always seeks the boundaries of the discipline of theatre in her practice. She likes to work with makers from other (non-artistic) disciplines. Since graduating, she has mainly been working in Limburg. In 2015, she founded the literary organisation PANDA Collective, where she develops artistic and educational projects. She also works as a teacher at the Maastricht Theatre Academy and is part of the coordinating team of the directing course. 3 A01 21 0000000324086083 Leonie Cornips Leonie Cornips 40 043c0p156 Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences Professor 40 02jz4aj89 Maastricht University Leonie Cornips is affiliated with the research group NL-Lab, Humanities Cluster of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences (KNAW), and professor Languageculture in Limburg at Maastricht University. Since 1994 she has examined sociosyntax, methods in dialectology and bidialectal child acquisition. More recently her research focuses on local identity constructions through language practices including place-making and belonging. At present she examines intraspecies and interspecies interactions of dairy cows in various settings. She is conducting ethnographic fieldwork on various farms in the Netherlands. 01 eng 03 00 In this paper, a poetic discourse invites the reader to slow down and pay attention to the pictures of Piet (the bull) and his herd as they present themselves, interact with each other and with human beings. The authors use light, precise, and minimalist descriptive discourse to guide the reader’s attention to bodies, gazes, positions, attitudes, synchronisation, relationships… and to the unspoken, yet meaningful, that forms the core of human-animal communication. Each picture is taken as a suspended moment or space where something happens. Artful methods (combination of pictures and poetic discourse) have been chosen by the authors for their ability to decentre the perception from language-centred categories, and embody such notions as ‘becoming-with’ or haptic communication, fully showing the potential of these methods for research in interspecies communication. 30 00 In this paper, a poetic discourse invites the reader to slow down and pay attention to the pictures of Piet (the bull) and his herd as they present themselves, interact with each other and with human beings.

FREAKS OF NATURE USING DEEP REFLEXIVITY TO UNDERSTAND TRANSGENICS 1 A01 21 000000017572575X Lisa Jean Moore Lisa Jean Moore SUNY Distinguished Professor of Sociology and Gender Studies at Purchase College 40 01q1z8k08 State University of New York Lisa Jean is a feminist medical sociologist and SUNY Distinguished Professor of Sociology and Gender Studies at Purchase College, State University of New York. Her books include a multispecies ethnography of honeybees, Buzz: Urban Beekeeping and the Power of the Bee with Marin Kosut. In Catch and Release: The Enduring, yet Vulnerable, Horseshoe Crab she examines inter-species relationships between humans and Limulus polyphemus (Horseshoe Crabs). These arthropods are integral to the biomedical and pharmaceutical industry. Our Transgenic Future: Spider Goats, Genetic Modification and the Will to Change Nature is based on three years of fieldwork studying goats genetically modified with spider DNA. These spider goats operate as living factories and lactate spider silk for military and biomedical purposes. As she becomes more confident with multispecies ethnography, she increasingly uses her own lived experiences, as a postmenopausal mom and an anxious human being, to cultivate her empathy for other living things. 01 eng 03 00 The author defines herself as a medical sociologist who uses feminist qualitative methods to explore the entanglements of humans and non-human animals in a variety of ecological settings. In this paper, she explores the social, biological, sensorial and emotional entanglements of her relationship with transgenic goats. The first part of the paper exposes how and why artistic methods combine with her grounded theory and reflexive auto-ethnography approaches to produce news insights and enhance her production of ‘results’. For her, these creative methods are a way of deepening her understanding of the connection between mammals (human and non-human) and mothers (human and non-human) by blending her real-life experience with her imaginative speculation. The artistic techniques she uses are reading children’s books, vivid setting exercises and sensory free-writing, empathetic understanding and flirting with fiction. In the second part of the paper, she provides a piece of creative writing that indeed opens to new questions and offers new perspectives on the studied situation. 30 00 The author defines herself as a medical sociologist who uses feminist qualitative methods to explore the entanglements of humans and non-human animals in a variety of ecological settings.

Through artful endeavours such as creative writing, photography, filmmaking, drawing and poetry, the volume aims to overcome the shortcomings of conventional, anthropocentric and logocentric methods in multispecies research. To move beyond the limitations of language and linguistic communication, the contributors build on the long tradition of visual and sensory anthropology while also engaging in and consciously reflecting on innovative, creative and artistic methods. Taking a multispecies and more-than-human perspective – ranging from snow and trees to animals and an AI oracle – the volume investigates ways to touch, speak, listen, feel, walk with and reach across different species.This book and accompanying multimedia website advance the frontier of publishing artful expressions of academic research by highlighting how creative practices can be the very core of data collection, analysis and the communication of research. As such, the artful pieces are not ‘just’ illustrations of textual representations, but are practised as part of an iterative process of data collection and analysis. The contributions by well-established scholars, early career researchers and postgraduates who carry out new, cutting-edge research offer an engaging range of analytical, methodological and empiric orientations, while conversing at the intersection of multispecies ethnography and artful methods. 30 00 Multispecies Ethnography and Artful Methods explores the potential of multimodal art practices in doing qualitative research beyond the human.

Singing as a tactile mode of active and responsive engagement in the world is also proposed by anthropologist Tim Ingold (2002). His notion of a ‘poetics of dwelling’ refers to songs and poetic storytelling as ways of ‘art’-full living, with art not understood as a way of representing the world but as a craft of attentive living in and resonating with the vibrant presence of other-than human beings. In this contribution, the authors join these calls to ‘re-wild our language’ and ‘to sing the landscape back into being, as well as to sing one’s being back into it’ (Macfarlane, 2016). They do so by sharing their experimental song writing that they developed ‘to sing into life’ two significant nonhuman others. This song writing originated in an Arts-Science collaboration with the Dutch experience design collective called Polymorf. They combined ethnography with AI technology and speculative design. The first song was written for a speculative fictional being, called AIIA: an AI-animated planetary director and artistic composer of poetic dwelling in a more-than-human world. The second was written for the Waal, the river flowing through the city of Nijmegen. For this river song the authors did instant experimental fieldwork on human-river relatedness in the setting of an urban arthouse. Based on the input received from the audience, they composed a part-song that will eventually be performed at the riverside to heal and enchant the river, as well as inspire AIIA’s multispecies knowledge. In this contribution the authors reflect on this arts-science-society collaboration, and how it evoked their creative writing in multispecies ethnography. This chapter includes ten visuals from Polymorf that were co-created with AI in the process of song writing. 30 00 In order to rearrange our relation to a living planet, writer Amitav Ghosh (2022: 84) urges us to sing and narrate all beings into life, and in so doing to learn from other cosmological understandings of the world. Singing as a tactile mode of active and responsive engagement in the world is also proposed by anthropologist Tim Ingold (2002). His notion of a ‘poetics of dwelling’ refers to songs and poetic storytelling as ways of ‘art’-full living, with art not understood as a way of representing the world but as a craft of attentive living in and resonating with the vibrant presence of other-than human beings. In this contribution, the authors join these calls to ‘re-wild our language’ and ‘to sing the landscape back into being, as well as to sing one’s being back into it’ (Macfarlane, 2016). They do so by sharing their experimental song writing that they developed ‘to sing into life’ two significant nonhuman others. This song writing originated in an Arts-Science collaboration with the Dutch experience design collective called Polymorf. They combined ethnography with AI technology and speculative design. The first song was written for a speculative fictional being, called AIIA: an AI-animated planetary director and artistic composer of poetic dwelling in a more-than-human world. The second was written for the Waal, the river flowing through the city of Nijmegen. For this river song the authors did instant experimental fieldwork on human-river relatedness in the setting of an urban arthouse. Based on the input received from the audience, they composed a part-song that will eventually be performed at the riverside to heal and enchant the river, as well as inspire AIIA’s multispecies knowledge.

EARTH SWIMMERS / ON CAPTURE A PRACTICE- BASED ETHNOGRAPHY OF MOLE CATCHING AND FILM MAKING IN NORTH YORKSHIRE 1 A01 21 0000000304626572 Hermione Spriggs Hermione Spriggs Hermione Spriggs is an artist, writer and researcher. Her current Ph.D. research explores art and creativity through the lens of land-based practice in North Yorkshire, through long-term collaboration with traditional mole catchers and other unlikely stewards of the land. Public / participatory art projects draw from this ethnographic context and from broader interests in rural folk practices, radical anthropology, hunting lore and female trickster intelligence. Hermione gained an MFA in Visual Art at UC San Diego (2012) and a BSc in Anthropology from UCL (2008). Her edited book Five Heads: Art, Anthropology and Mongol-Futurism is published by Sternberg Press. Current projects include an edible public artwork for Kings Hedges Cambridge, learning to echolocate as Bat Choir, and ongoing collaborative work exploring practices of attention and alternative forms of community organisation. 03 00 The film Earth Swimmers (2021) attends to the tricks and techniques that mole catchers use to access the underground world of the mole. Using tools as portals into the mole’s vibratory world, probes, feet, noses and rain-making instruments lead the viewer into alternative ways of sensing and knowing the earth. This film emerged within a larger body of work resulting from direct collaboration with a professional mole catcher – one outcome of long-term ethnographic fieldwork investigating rural pest control practices and attitudes to land in rural North Yorkshire, UK. This chapter describes the author’s hunting collaborators’ practical and intimate engagement with the worlds of ‘vermin’ species in North Yorkshire, where she spent a year apprenticing to rural pest controllers in 2020–21. The chapter shows how specific skills and techniques of the body underpin and make possible the empathic understanding that enables a trapper first to think like a prey animal, and then to reach into its world through ‘respectful deception’ (Anderson et al., 2017), taking its life with minimum disruption and making use of its body as food or repurposing it otherwise. The artful engagements of the author’s interlocutors with the worlds or umwelten (Uexküll, 2010) of other animal species provides a generative model for her own perspectival manoeuvres as she experiments with Nigel, the mole catcher and central collaborator in the film, and his relationship to moles, and how to responsibly negotiate with death herself in the making of the film Earth Swimmers (2021). The author argues for the value of ‘anthropological borrowing’, pointing to the creative potential and theoretical productivity of methods, forms and concepts from the field. Specifically, the mole catcher taught her creative multispecies methods, such as animal tracking and tactical probing, inviting the author to engage with anthropological theory in a practical way, decentring her own perspective, making room for the perception, agency and subjectivity of nonhuman others. 30 00 The film Earth Swimmers (2021) attends to the tricks and techniques that mole catchers use to access the underground world of the mole.

THE SOUNDS OF SNOW AN EXPLORATION OF HUMAN-SNOW RELATIONS IN ILULISSAT, KALAALLIT NUNAAT 1 A01 Nanna Kisby Nanna Kisby Nanna obtained her MSc in Cultural Anthropology: Sustainable Citizenship at Utrecht University in the Netherlands. Her thesis focused on human-snow relations in Ilulissat, Kalaallit Nunaat, and shows how nonhuman matter (such as snow) has an inherent agency. She obtained her BSc in Anthropology at Aarhus University in Denmark. Nanna also has a background in art and movement studies, which has inspired her to draw on artistic methods and bodily inquiry in her ethnographic work. Throughout her fieldwork in Ilulissat, Nanna experimented with data collection through a combination of methods in order to capture aspects of human-snow relations that escape the written word. These methods included recording soundscapes, photography, and exploring snow through sensory ethnography. Nanna currently works for a small company in the Dutch energy sector. In her work, she conducts cultural analyses and co-coordinates a project in Egypt developing Vocational Education and Training (VET) programs on sustain- ability and green hydrogen. 01 eng 03 00 Snow is ever present during the long winter months in Ilulissat, Kalaallit Nunaat (Greenland). It covers houses, doorways, roads, cars, sleeping dogs, and mountains. It shapes the landscape, re-configures town infrastructure, and hinders – as well as enables –human practices. In order to understand human life in Ilulissat, it is crucial to understand snow and its behavior. This chapter therefore focuses on snow as a vibrant materiality (Bennett, 2010) that acts from certain inherent capacities: snow is a shape shifter, it moves, it takes up space, it is a source of life, and it produces impressions that can be registered by, for example, human senses. These capacities of snow influence its relationship with other actors in more-than-human assemblages. In order to study these capacities of snow, the author made use of artistic methods and sensory ethnography in addition to traditional ethnographic methods during her fieldwork in Ilulissat. In particular, soundscapes and photography enabled her to explore the ways in which snow behaves, and to capture its various manifestations. Artistic methods also created the possibility to collaborate with snow as a nonhuman actor in the process of making art, in order to share the research findings with other humans. The author shows that artistic methods function as a bridge between the nonhuman and the human, and help in producing art as embodied knowledge. This chapter includes four sound recordings and six photographs. At specified moments in the chapter, the author invites the readers to listen to the snow recordings and to look at the images and thus to go with her on a multi-sensory journey to meet the snow in Ilulissat. 30 00 Snow is ever present during the long winter months in Ilulissat, Kalaallit Nunaat (Greenland).

THE ENDURING PRESENCE OF THE EUCALYPTUS TREE A PHOTO ESSAY 1 A01 21 0000000224743365 Natasha Fijn Nastasha Fijn Director of the Mongolia Institute 40 019wvm592 Australian National University Natasha Fijn is Director of the Australian National University’s Mongolia Institute. She has been awarded a mid-career ARC Future Fellowship to conduct research on ‘A Multi-species Anthropological Approach to Influenza’ (2022–2026). Natasha wrote a seminal multispecies ethnography based in Mongolia, Living with Herds: Human-animal Coexistence in Mongolia (2011). She has co-edited five books and several journal volumes, including three special issues oriented toward visual anthropology and ethnographic filmmaking, and three engaging with multispecies and sensory anthropology in the journals Inner Asia (2020), The Australian Journal of Anthropology (2020) and Anthropology Today (2023). She recently (2023) published a co-edited book with Routledge, Nurturing Alternative Futures: Living with Diversity in a More-than-human World. 01 eng 03 00 The strength of the photo essay in multispecies anthropological research is the close integration between still images and the accompanying text as a form of ethnographic narrative. How can the structure of the photo essay provide an experimental medium for conceptualising multispecies ethnography, while communicating engagement with more-than-human subjects? The photo essay included here employs an experimental creative approach featuring large, lone eucalypts as significant beings on the fringes of the reserves and suburbs of Canberra, the capital city of Australia. As sentinels, these canopy trees have witnessed different forms of human presence over as much as a five-century lifespan: from ancestral Ngunnuwal making marks on such trees, viewed by individual Aboriginal Australians as kin; to present-day workers in newly developed suburbs manicuring newly formed lawns and gardens beneath the shade of these trees. The author has produced other multispecies-oriented photo essays as an ongoing form of experimentation with the sensory and juxtaposition of still images with text to form an ethnographic narrative. The photo essay comprises a series of images in two parts with accompanying text forming explanatory captions, the combination of image and text then helping to build a multispecies story. The first part of the photo essay connects with individual Eucalypts in reserves, while the second part foregrounds individual trees within a new development, the suburb of Ginninderry. The author highlights how the photo essay can be effective in allowing for more-than-human subjectivity and agency. The focus on individual eucalypt trees within the photo essay is an extension of the author’s connection with individual trees and a part of her ongoing creative expression with a focus on sensorial and multispecies entanglements with significant others. Accompanying the photo essay is a description in the form of an ‘artnographic statement’ of Fijn’s methodology in combining multispecies ethnography with photography, followed by an explanatory section connecting the differing Abo- riginal Australian perspectives from those of wider settler-Australian attitudes towards individual Eucalypts in the context of Australia’s capital. 30 00 The strength of the photo essay in multispecies anthropological research is the close integration between still images and the accompanying text as a form of ethnographic narrative.

The research, made individually and through collaboration, is made public through exhibitions, events and published texts. Bartram is Professor of Contemporary Art and Co-Lead for the Creative and Cultural Industries Academic Theme and Research Centre at the University of Derby. Amongst other board affiliations, she is Vice President of the Society for Artistic Research and Trustee of the Board of Directors of the Live Art Development Agency. Her Ph.D. in Fine Art is from Middlesex University. 2 A01 21 0009000054830622 Lee Deigaard Lee Deigaard Lee Deigaard explores the topographies where one consciousness encounters another, describing a landscape given shape and substance by its animal protagonists, their sensory and imaginative worlds and their autonomy. With language, photography/video, installation, event and drawing, her work approaches the animal from positions of equality, collaboration and mutual curiosity and looks at multi-species empathy, animal cognition and personality, memory and grief, and the nature of intimacy. As an independent artist, writer and researcher based in urban Louisiana and rural Georgia, she has exhibited and presented her work nationally and internationally. Her writing and artwork have been published in Oxford American, Humanimalia, and Antennae: The Journal of Nature in Visual Culture among others. She holds degrees from Yale University, the University of Texas at Austin, and the University of Michigan. She is one half of the trans-Atlantic collaborative duos, Bartram + Deigaard and DULSE (with the novelist Mandy Suzanne-Wong of Bermuda). 01 eng 03 00 Bartram + Deigaard are the collaborative duo of artists Lee Deigaard (US) and Angela Bartram (UK) engaged in a transoceanic, international collaboration and dialogue exploring dualities of mind and being, multi-species empathy and the ethics of animal collaboration. Bartram + Deigaard test the edges, the margins, the overlaps and the interstitial spaces of and within collaboration and interspecies potential ‘doubling(s)’ in their artistic research. Doubling here relates to mirroring and sharing between species, of mind and body, and the myriad divergences that bind through the recognition of this process. Brought together by a shared brain mentality with regard to animal studies, as that which is a recognised field of discourse, and of being and not being, recognising and refusing to affirm the non-human as apart from our common animality, they work sympathetically and empathetically although situated geographically far apart. Born of an openness to involve the non-human fully in creative thinking, making and staging, they create situations of co-learning where all collaborators can contribute and learn from each other, and they willingly embrace the unanticipated shifts to the process each species brings. Using diverse methods, processes and materials, and curious to a myriad of opening potentialities, they explore working as humans from an animal-centric perspective. They bring sensitivities to their research with the non-human animal as both artistic subject and collaborator, of behaving as animal to observe and engage with empathy and openness to the unexpected, and particularly to animal insight and revelation. Iterative long-term projects in photography, video, installation, drawing and printmaking foreground proximity and proprioceptive, nearly devotional studio and caretaking practices centring on respiration and companionate movement. This text explores being mindful and sensible with balancing sympathies and empathies within an often-unbalanced system of agency predicated in environments structured by and for humans (including spaces intended for animal habitation). It discusses the unscripted learning that occurs through interspecies collaboration, and what each animal (human and non-human) can teach the other when both are given full creative agency. Offering examples of their own individual and collaborative work within a critical framework to explain pertinent propositions and findings, it will demonstrate how openness is key for possibilities to flourish. It will discuss how equality and responsive creative co-learning environments can produce revelatory results creatively instigated and directed by the non-human.

She took her Masters in Art at the Accademia di Belle Arti die Napoli and her Bachelor in the Arts at the Académie des Beaux-Arts Nantes Métropole and the Universidad de Sevilla, Campus Bellas Artes. Her work is on display in exhibitions such as the Centrale for Contemporary Art in Brussels or residencies like the International Latgale Graphic Art Symposium in Daugavpils, Latvia. Dorn’s artwork mainly consists of printmaking. Through drawing and life observation, she approaches insect worlds, with a current focus on firebugs. Key interests in her research are empathetic engagement through images and through the creative process, as well as the representation of insects as actants and processes. 01 eng 03 00 In this piece, Charlotte Dorn engages in a loving attention towards firebugs as a basis for an ethical aesthetic that she develops through multispecies ethnography enriched by still images, video, sound recordings, drawing and printmaking. This photo essay elaborates on how Dorn engages with concrete artistic methodologies, the photos are a selection of fieldwork registrations and their further artistic processing. The reader follows Dorn, through text and photos, from her fieldwork through to the analysis phase, where ideas on firebugs and multispecies worlds are further developed and rendered tangible through drawing, as well as wood- and linocut. Importantly, the slowness of the creative process gives space to let the fieldwork experience with firebugs sink in and come back to the sensory experience over and over again. Seeking to understand how firebugs inhabit the world, artistic practices here further knowledge production that connects rather than objectifies; taking a holistic approach toward experiences with animals gives space to cognitive, physical, sensorial and affective aspects of the encounter. The sponginess of artistic modes of perception leads to individual and multi-layered perspectives on animality. It also suggests that much of the non-human animal is not yet understood and remains mysterious. 30 00 In this piece, Charlotte Dorn engages in a loving attention towards firebugs as a basis for an ethical aesthetic that she develops through multispecies ethnography enriched by still images, video, sound recordings, drawing and printmaking.

FARMING COWS AND WORMS 1 A01 Simone de Boer Simone de Boer Ph.D. candidate in Social Anthropology 40 01tm6cn81 University of Gothenburg Simone de Boer is a Ph.D. candidate in Social Anthropology at the University of Gothenburg, School of Global Studies. In her research she focuses on the development and meaning of organic and permaculture farming in Kyrgyzstan. Using ethnographic and creative methods, she explores processes of learning and knowing, more-than-human relationships, and ‘good farmer’ identities. The creative methods she employs include photography, video, drawing, creative writing and workshops with interlocutors. Simone’s educational background is in Cultural Anthropology and Film & Photographic Studies (Leiden University, the Netherlands). In her previous research in Kyrgyzstan, she studied (transformations of ) ‘traditional’ horse games and human-horse relationships in the context of increasing tourism, processes of sportification, and the development of mega sporting events. In 2018–2019, she was one of Leiden’s City Photographers, creating ethnographic photo essays for the city newspaper in collaboration with fellow anthropologists. 2 A01 21 0000000301750869 Hanna Charlotta Wernersson Hanna Charlotta Wernersson Ph.D. candidate at the School of Global Studies 40 01tm6cn81 University of Gothenburg Hanna is a Ph.D. candidate at the School of Global Studies within the field of environmental social science. In her Ph.D. project, she studies conceptualisations and performances of ‘holistic’ management among regenerative cattle farmers in Sweden. Using ethnographic and creative methods, Hanna explores the ethical and practical relationships to nonhuman nature that are produced in and through daily farm doings. Creative writing, drawing and soundscape-making are examples of Hanna’s methodology. Hanna has a MSc in socio-ecological resilience from Stockholm Resilience Center. Her professional experience includes working as Course Coordinator at the Center for Environment and Development Studies at Uppsala University, Sweden, and as Agricultural Marketing Specialist for the US Foreign Agricultural Service, Canada. Hanna also farms twelve hectares of land, exploring what ‘good’ land management could mean on the clay soils of western Sweden. 01 eng 03 00 This piece presents a multimedia montage that explores multispecies relationships in three different farming contexts: human-worm relationships in Kyrgyz compost heaps, and human-cow (or bull) relationships on two divergent Swedish cattle farms, one family farm (cow-calf farm) and one industrial farm (bull-breeding farm). The video montage is made up of different mixed media, consisting of video and still images, drawings, sounds, and quotations from informants. The visual piece is accompanied by three kinds of written comments. The montage companion gives more details about the authors’ motivations for artistic work, and about the circumstances of their encounter and how they creatively worked together. In their experience, artistic work has helped them to sustain their curiosity for their object, but also to give place to contradictions (love and violence, for example); creativity contributed to open their senses to a multisensorial ethnography. Taken together, these elements allow the authors to explore multispecies socialities and let the non-human ‘speak for themselves’. The montage guide accompanies the readers by giving them a more detailed subtext. That part is necessary for making sense of what has been sensed or intuited during the first viewing of the montage. With the montage guide, the reader can come back to each moment, pause, reflect on it, and connect it to the research question. With this addition, the whole process makes sense and we can see how artistic methods make a difference. Lastly, the artnographic statement explains the context of the research and presents the main question: what is a ‘good’ relationship in human-animal relationships where animals are kept with human food in mind? It explains how the material of the montage was created and why their joint engagements with artful methods matter to the authors in addressing the question. 30 00 This piece presents a multimedia montage that explores multispecies relationships in three different farming contexts: human-worm relationships in Kyrgyz compost heaps, and human-cow (or bull) relationships on two divergent Swedish cattle farms, one family farm (cow-calf farm) and one industrial farm (bull-breeding farm).

It explains how the material of the montage was created and why their joint engagements with artful methods matter to the authors in addressing the question. 20 00 Open Access 13 00 [essay and multimedia montage] Simone de Boer Hanna Charlotta Wernersson 9 03 06 10.63308/63878687083054.ch08 168 178 11 Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International license (CC BY-NC-ND 4.0). 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ Chapter 01 01 8. TO TOUCH LIGHTLY IN PASSING 1 A01 Merlijn Huntjens Merlijn Huntjens Merlijn Huntjens is a writer. Between 2013 and 2018, Merlijn was active as a poetry slammer, performing widely in the Netherlands, Belgium and occasionally in Germany. In 2016, 2017 and 2018 he was in the finals of the NK poetry slam. Between 2017 and 2019, he was city poet of Heerlen. Merlijn is involved with Wintertuin and is a creator at PANDA. Poems of his regularly appear in literary magazines such as De Revisor, Tirade and Het Liegend Konijn and in 2022 his chapbook ‘De zee zwaait terug’ was released by Wintertuin. 2 A01 Nina Willems Nina Willems Nina Willems graduated as a performer from the Maastricht Theatre Academy in 2011. With this background, she always seeks the boundaries of the discipline of theatre in her practice. She likes to work with makers from other (non-artistic) disciplines. Since graduating, she has mainly been working in Limburg. In 2015, she founded the literary organisation PANDA Collective, where she develops artistic and educational projects. She also works as a teacher at the Maastricht Theatre Academy and is part of the coordinating team of the directing course. 3 A01 21 0000000324086083 Leonie Cornips Leonie Cornips 40 043c0p156 Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences Professor 40 02jz4aj89 Maastricht University Leonie Cornips is affiliated with the research group NL-Lab, Humanities Cluster of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences (KNAW), and professor Languageculture in Limburg at Maastricht University. Since 1994 she has examined sociosyntax, methods in dialectology and bidialectal child acquisition. More recently her research focuses on local identity constructions through language practices including place-making and belonging. At present she examines intraspecies and interspecies interactions of dairy cows in various settings. She is conducting ethnographic fieldwork on various farms in the Netherlands. 01 eng 03 00 In this paper, a poetic discourse invites the reader to slow down and pay attention to the pictures of Piet (the bull) and his herd as they present themselves, interact with each other and with human beings. The authors use light, precise, and minimalist descriptive discourse to guide the reader’s attention to bodies, gazes, positions, attitudes, synchronisation, relationships… and to the unspoken, yet meaningful, that forms the core of human-animal communication. Each picture is taken as a suspended moment or space where something happens. Artful methods (combination of pictures and poetic discourse) have been chosen by the authors for their ability to decentre the perception from language-centred categories, and embody such notions as ‘becoming-with’ or haptic communication, fully showing the potential of these methods for research in interspecies communication. 30 00 In this paper, a poetic discourse invites the reader to slow down and pay attention to the pictures of Piet (the bull) and his herd as they present themselves, interact with each other and with human beings.

FREAKS OF NATURE USING DEEP REFLEXIVITY TO UNDERSTAND TRANSGENICS 1 A01 21 000000017572575X Lisa Jean Moore Lisa Jean Moore SUNY Distinguished Professor of Sociology and Gender Studies at Purchase College 40 01q1z8k08 State University of New York Lisa Jean is a feminist medical sociologist and SUNY Distinguished Professor of Sociology and Gender Studies at Purchase College, State University of New York. Her books include a multispecies ethnography of honeybees, Buzz: Urban Beekeeping and the Power of the Bee with Marin Kosut. In Catch and Release: The Enduring, yet Vulnerable, Horseshoe Crab she examines inter-species relationships between humans and Limulus polyphemus (Horseshoe Crabs). These arthropods are integral to the biomedical and pharmaceutical industry. Our Transgenic Future: Spider Goats, Genetic Modification and the Will to Change Nature is based on three years of fieldwork studying goats genetically modified with spider DNA. These spider goats operate as living factories and lactate spider silk for military and biomedical purposes. As she becomes more confident with multispecies ethnography, she increasingly uses her own lived experiences, as a postmenopausal mom and an anxious human being, to cultivate her empathy for other living things. 01 eng 03 00 The author defines herself as a medical sociologist who uses feminist qualitative methods to explore the entanglements of humans and non-human animals in a variety of ecological settings. In this paper, she explores the social, biological, sensorial and emotional entanglements of her relationship with transgenic goats. The first part of the paper exposes how and why artistic methods combine with her grounded theory and reflexive auto-ethnography approaches to produce news insights and enhance her production of ‘results’. For her, these creative methods are a way of deepening her understanding of the connection between mammals (human and non-human) and mothers (human and non-human) by blending her real-life experience with her imaginative speculation. The artistic techniques she uses are reading children’s books, vivid setting exercises and sensory free-writing, empathetic understanding and flirting with fiction. In the second part of the paper, she provides a piece of creative writing that indeed opens to new questions and offers new perspectives on the studied situation. 30 00 The author defines herself as a medical sociologist who uses feminist qualitative methods to explore the entanglements of humans and non-human animals in a variety of ecological settings.

Andrea has worked on long-term multispecies ethnography research projects based on fieldwork in Botswana, Sweden and Colorado, with shorter stints in Nepal, Canada, Ethiopia and Tanzania. Increasingly, Andrea has worked with, and developed, artistic and ‘artful’ research methods for data collection, analysis and dissemination and has given a number of workshops on the subject for Ph.D. students and Faculty across Sweden and internationally. In 2022 Andrea instigated and co-founded together with Véronique Servais, Anke Tonnaer and Catrien Notermans the international MEAM network for Multispecies Ethnography and Artistic Methods. She led and co-organised with the same team an online MEAM workshop in 2022 as well as the hybrid inaugural MEAM conference in July Liège 2023. 01 eng 03 00 Drawing on a year of ethnographic fieldwork on working cattle ranches in the Rocky Mountain of Colorado, this ethnographic poem speaks to the multisensory and multispecies methods necessary to understand the power relations infused in the multispecies triad of human, horse and cow in a ranching setting. Arguing for pushing the frontier of sensory ethnography to include what Petitt has framed as ‘energy bubbles’, this piece strives to bring heightened attention to the dynamic nuances of non-human power performances. The rapstract typically breaks the ‘fourth wall’ in directly spelling out the analytical moves by its author, in addition to the elements of field poetry portraying the ethnographic setting. In addition, this rhyme also refers explicitly to method whilst simultaneously showcasing the artful method of rhyming/poetry itself. 30 00 Drawing on a year of ethnographic fieldwork on working cattle ranches in the Rocky Mountain of Colorado, this ethnographic poem speaks to the multisensory and multispecies methods necessary to understand the power relations infused in the multispecies triad of human, horse and cow in a ranching setting.

This study focuses on their shared history with regard to meteorological observations and provides insights into this development from the 1700s until the establishment of national meteorological institutes in the latter half of the 1800s. An overview of the founding of these institutes is included. To our knowledge, this is the first study to discuss and present the history of meteorological observations across all Nordic countries together. Beginning in the 1700s, the study explores how prevailing theories on climate and weather influenced the recording and analy- sis of meteorological observations. Temperature records for each country are presented using a novel approach to illustrate temperature increases up to the present day. A cross-correlation analysis of temperature data indicates a strong correlation between all Nordic capitals, except Reykjavik, highlighting Iceland’s distinct climatic conditions even within the Nordic context. Finally, using the Mann-Kendall trend analysis, we found that Copenhagen exhibits the highest temperature trend among the Nordic capitals. 30 00 The Nordic countries share much, in terms of political and economic histories, and geographically all countries border or lie within the Arctic Circle.

However, research is not clear on how, to what extent and in relation to which environmental factors popula- tions have adapted.

In southern Norway there is evidence of a limited introduction of farming and husbandry in the Oslo fjord region in the early fourth millennium bce, and of foragers experimenting with farming during the Neolithic period. This paper hypothesises that short- term cold events (or Little Ice Age-like events) had negative impact on human demography in southern Norway also during the mid-Holocene. The current record of Little Ice Age-events is compared to a long-term population trajectory based on archaeological data, showing little or no negative impact on human demography during the mid-Holocene. 30 00 Climate has changed considerably throughout the Holocene and humans have continuously adapted to environmental change.

Her research centres around pre-Viking Age settlement and conflict archaeology in Scandinavia, in addition to environmental archaeology. She managed the archaeological excavations prior to the extension of the Norwegian main Air base at Ørland in 2015–2016, which uncovered extensive settlement traces with faunal, vegetational and geographical data from ca. 500 bc to ad 1050.

His research includes early Medieval and Viking Age studies, with a particular focus on mortuary practices and settlement studies. He has led several large archaeological excavation projects in central Norway and managed the excavations in Vinjefjord during 2019–2020, which uncovered extensive evidence of settlements and pre-Christian cemeteries from ca. ad 350–1350. 01 eng 03 00 This chapter explores the impact of the mid-sixth century climatic downturn, triggered by volcanic eruptions in ad 536 and 540, on two settlements in central Norway: Vik in Ørland and Vinjeøra in Vinjefjord. The study examines how these communities, with differing geographical and cultural contexts, responded to the cooling event. Vik, situated on the outer coast, experienced a decline due to its vulnerable position and the retraction of its harbour. In contrast, Vinjeøra, located in a fjord, showed resilience and adaptability, quickly re-establishing itself after a brief period of abandonment. The analysis highlights the concepts of resilience, vulnerability and adaptation, demonstrating how local geographi- cal conditions and pre-existing social structures influenced the communities’ ability to cope with climatic stress. The findings underscore the importance of multi-scalar approaches in understanding the varied human responses to global climatic events. 30 00 This chapter explores the impact of the mid-sixth century climatic downturn, triggered by volcanic eruptions in ad 536 and 540, on two settlements in central Norway: Vik in Ørland and Vinjeøra in Vinjefjord.

Her research interests focus on the environmental history of northern Europe, Scandinavian-Slavic interrelations in the Viking Age, and early medieval economies. 01 eng 03 00 This article explores the impact of volcanic activity on medieval Icelandic society, focusing on both external shocks and community adaptations. Utilising the vulnerability framework established by Robert Chambers, it examines Iceland’s susceptibility to eruptions in pre-modern times, with particular attention to the Eldgjá (c. 939) and Hekla (1104) events. These eruptions had a profound impact on Icelandic society, disrupted settlements, shaped landscapes and influened cultural and religious narratives. While sagas rarely mention volcanic events, annals, legal texts such as Grágás, and vow contracts reveal practical coping strategies that included church relocations and community rituals. Archaeologi- cal evidence highlights resilience through the reconstruction of settlements on tephra-covered land, and written accounts such as the Norwegian King’s Mirror portray eruptions as a form of divine judgment by blending spiritual interpreta- tions with pragmatic responses. This interdisciplinary framework underscores medieval Iceland’s adaptability to environmental hazards and offers valuable insights into socio-environmental resilience in volatile landscapes that remain relevant for modern disaster management. 30 00 This article explores the impact of volcanic activity on medieval Icelandic society, focusing on both external shocks and community adaptations.

Using the architecture and archae- ological remains from surveys and excavations, the four manor houses will be discussed in relation to adaptation and resilience. It is established that Vosborg 1 and 2 were impacted by the 1593 storm surge. Vosborg 1 was replaced by Vosborg 3 approximately 900 metres inland after it sustained devastating flooding and damage, at the turn of the seventeenth century. Vosborg 2 was also damaged by the same environmental event, yet some building material was rescued and reused to create Vosborg 4.

Different technologies were adapted to buildings to manage colder climates and more snow and therefore water during the Little Ice Age. Adaptations are identified in the archaeological material, particularly in high- status buildings from fifteenth-century Norway. Medieval architecture alterations were entangled with climate changes. New technologies accommodated lower temperatures and water increase. Building campaigns dated to the period could also have been involved in several societal developments (e.g., technology, ritual, social patterns or consumption) that are also revealed in built environments. The examples presented correspond chronologically with the Little Ice Age, are secondarily added to a dwelling structure, are directly associated with chang- ing climates and serve as a solution to climate-related problems. Four features are particularly significant instances of climate change adaptation and are here discussed: drains, brick rebuilding, tile stoves and stone cellars. 30 00 Dwellings interact with climates to suit different temperatures, rainfalls and rainfall conditions.

His research specialities include climate-system variability and regime shifts, historical climate, paleoclimate, and sea ice. His regional areas of interest are the European-Atlantic Arctic and Subarctic, including Greenland and Svalbard. Methodological approaches include empirical analysis of multivariate data records and time-series analysis, using independent but complementary data sources such as historical observations, long instrumental time series and high-resolution paleo proxy records from biological (e.g., marine sclerochronology) and geological archives (e.g., marine sediments). 01 eng 03 00 This paper considers variations in the occurrence of sea ice off the coasts of Iceland, and compares these with air temperatures on land, particularly for the north of Iceland, for the period c. ad 1600-1850. Data are drawn from Iceland’s rich treasury of historical records on climate and weather. For the most part, cold air temperatures on land and the incidence of sea ice correlate well, but this is not always the case. Periods with low temperatures and high sea-ice incidence include the early 1600s, the 1690s, the 1750s, the 1780s and the mid-1800s. A distinct mild period with little sea ice occurred during c. 1640 to c. 1680. Subse- quent to our main study period, the most severe years of the nineteenth century were likely to have been 1858-1892. High sea-ice incidence is also evident in, e.g., the 1880s and 1910s, in contrast to the climate amelioration recorded in Europe. The most notable feature of Iceland’s climate is its variability, thus mak- ing it problematic to ascribe a single distinct period reflecting a ‘Little Ice Age’. 30 00 This paper considers variations in the occurrence of sea ice off the coasts of Iceland, and compares these with air temperatures on land, particularly for the north of Iceland, for the period c. ad 1600-1850.

His farm records from the 1770s are used to improve an existing GDD model and then tested, by using his measured weather data, on the warm and cold sum- mers of 1783 and 1784 respectively. The improved GDD model demonstrates that the 1784 climate anomaly had the potential to severely affect the crops. Contemporary accounts from other parts of southeastern Norway support the model result by reporting widespread harvest failures. Even though Norway is particularly susceptible to climate variations, the importance of climate extremes for these events has been little discussed among Norwegian historians. However, an integrated approach can be used to move beyond mere correlation between climate and human proxies towards some level of causation and contribute with new insights on the role of climatic stress for sociopolitical changes in the past. 30 00 In this study, I have made use of agricultural and meteorological data from late eighteenth-century pastor Wilse in Spydeberg, southeastern Norway, to analyse the impact of climate extremes on a premodern farming society.

Ice Jams in the Aura River, Turku, Southwest Finland, 1739–2024 1 A01 21 000000031473362X Stefan Norrgård Stefan Norrgård Senior Researcher and Climate Historian 40 029pk6x14 Åbo Akademi University Stefan Norrgård is a senior researcher and climate historian at the Department of History at Åbo Akademi University in Turku, Finland. Subsequent to reconstruct- ing climate in West Africa during the 1700s, his research interests have centred on riverine ice breakups in Finland. He has reconstructed spring ice breakups for both the Aura River (Turku) and the Kokemäki River (Pori) between the 1700s and 2000s. He has several publications on ice breakups but his research field also covers historical climate adaptation processes and meteorological observations in Finland and Sweden in the 1700s. His ongoing research project, founded by the Kone Foundation, investigates climate, culture and society in Finland in the 1700s. 06 Own website https://research.abo.fi/en/persons/bcdd2ec1-da6c-4f46-a3a0-3441c616dd01 01 eng 03 00 This study investigates the historical occurrence and impact of ice jams in the Aura River, Turku, Finland, from 1739 to 2025. Ice jams, which are common in regions with prolonged river ice cover, can cause significant water level rises and subsequent flooding. The study analyses historical documents, including newspaper articles and weather journals, to reconstruct past ice jam events and their effects. Key findings highlight the role of natural and anthropogenic ob- stacles, such as bridges and skating rinks, in initiating ice jams. The study further examines the methods employed to mitigate these events. An ice jam index is developed to categorise the severity of events over time. The results indicate a clear change towards fewer severe ice jam events in the twentieth century. This research contributes to understanding hydrological extremes and their historical context in Finnish rivers. 30 00 This study investigates the historical occurrence and impact of ice jams in the Aura River, Turku, Finland, from 1739 to 2025.

These were written mostly by groups of professors at Norwegian Universities taking charge of one volume/historical period each, and were aimed at the general public. Sales were high, and the impact on public perception of history can likely only be compared with that of the most successful school textbooks. This chapter examines the role of climate and climate change as an agent of historical change in these works, concentrating on prehistory as well as the periods corresponding to what are today known as the Late Antique / Early Medieval Little Ice Age, the Medieval Warm Period and the Little Ice Age. While these terms rarely appear in the examined works, the potential role of climate and climate change in bringing about historical change is discussed to varying degree. These accounts are viewed through the lens of the narrative theory, enabling us to classify nar- ratives of identity, decline and growth propelled by climate and climate change, as well as to pursue the limited, but growing awareness of environmental history in mainstream Norwegian historiography. 30 00 From the mid-nineteenth to the early twenty-first century, a number of multi- volume histories of Norway were published by major trade presses.

Glacier Poetry in Norwegian Literary Historiography 1 A01 Kristine Kleveland Kristine Kleveland Ph.D. student 40 01xtthb56 University of Oslo Kristine Kleveland is a Ph.D. student in Nordic literature at the University of Oslo. Her research focuses on glaciers as motifs in Norwegian poetry. Kleveland is a for- mer lecturer in Literature at the Western Norway University of Applied Sciences. 01 eng 03 00 Perceptions of glaciers through poetry are significant to Nordic climate history. This paper examines Norwegian literary critical discussions of glacier poetry. Eighteen glacier poems are mentioned in fifteen works of literary history. However, the glacier motifs themselves are seldom given much attention by the critics and glacier poetry has not explicitly been identified as a distinct poetic tradition. The glacier motifs in the eighteen poems and discussions of them show a couple of tendencies in uses and understandings of glaciers. These are explored through close readings of four poems, written by Andreas Munch, Arnulf Øverland, Gunvor Hofmo and Kristofer Uppdal. These poems suggest trends in how glacier poetry is indirectly canonised, often emphasising patriotism and national romanticism, identity-building and fortifying backgrounds, and themes of solitude and isolation, thereby reinforcing ideas about the ‘people of the north’ and the unique role glaciers play in their cultural narrative. 30 00 Perceptions of glaciers through poetry are significant to Nordic climate history.

Inspired by evolutionary and ecological theory and methods, he seeks to understand human-environment relations past, present and future. His work focuses on major tipping point episodes such as the end of the Pleistocene, extreme environmental events such as volcanic eruptions, earthquakes and tsunamis, novel ecosystems, and on the archaeology of the Anthropocene. After leaving Cambridge for UCL and then Aarhus University, Felix is now Professor, affiliated both with the Departments of Archaeology and Heritage Studies, and of Biology. At Aarhus, he founded the Centre for Environmental Humanities; he was also Visiting Professor at the Oslo Centre for Environmental Humanities and Visiting Scholar at the Oeschger Centre for Climate Change Research. Felix brings a distinct perspective on deep time and material relations to environmental history. 01 eng 03 00 Around 13,000 years ago – at the tail end of a prolonged cold spell and to- wards the end of the Ice Age – the Laacher See volcano located in present-day western Germany erupted cataclysmically. Abrasive and poisonous ash from this eruption was transported in a vast swath across Europe with a primary fallout cloud stretching towards the north-east. Environments, climate, and contemporaneous human populations were affected in a variety of ways; the Nordic area specifically was affected – indirectly – by serving as a refugium for small bands of prehistoric disaster refugees. Despite the enormity of this event, and the threat that this merely dormant volcano still poses today, it remains poorly known to the public, not least in the Nordic region. I here explore how the narrative qualities of such an archaeological scenario can be transformed into a museum exhibition whose aim it is to (i) put societal vulnerability into a deep historical perspective and to (ii) highlight how contemporary societies, too, are vulnerable to processes of climatic change and extreme environmental events plentifully documented in the past. 30 00 Around 13,000 years ago – at the tail end of a prolonged cold spell and to- wards the end of the Ice Age – the Laacher See volcano located in present-day western Germany erupted cataclysmically.

This study focuses on their shared history with regard to meteorological observations and provides insights into this development from the 1700s until the establishment of national meteorological institutes in the latter half of the 1800s. An overview of the founding of these institutes is included. To our knowledge, this is the first study to discuss and present the history of meteorological observations across all Nordic countries together. Beginning in the 1700s, the study explores how prevailing theories on climate and weather influenced the recording and analy- sis of meteorological observations. Temperature records for each country are presented using a novel approach to illustrate temperature increases up to the present day. A cross-correlation analysis of temperature data indicates a strong correlation between all Nordic capitals, except Reykjavik, highlighting Iceland’s distinct climatic conditions even within the Nordic context. Finally, using the Mann-Kendall trend analysis, we found that Copenhagen exhibits the highest temperature trend among the Nordic capitals. 30 00 The Nordic countries share much, in terms of political and economic histories, and geographically all countries border or lie within the Arctic Circle.

Nielsen specialises in economic and demographic theories, and the use of quantitative and statistical methods in archaeological research. He is a frequent practitioner of research-driven field archaeology. During recent years he has focused on excavation and the sampling of wetland areas in southern Norway. He is also trained in underwater archaeology. 01 eng 03 00 Climate has changed considerably throughout the Holocene and humans have continuously adapted to environmental change. However, research is not clear on how, to what extent and in relation to which environmental factors popula- tions have adapted. The mid-Holocene period c. 6200–2200 bce in Scandinavia involved the transition from purely forager-based (Mesolithic) economies to the establishment of farming-based (Neolithic) economies. In southern Norway there is evidence of a limited introduction of farming and husbandry in the Oslo fjord region in the early fourth millennium bce, and of foragers experimenting with farming during the Neolithic period. This paper hypothesises that short- term cold events (or Little Ice Age-like events) had negative impact on human demography in southern Norway also during the mid-Holocene. The current record of Little Ice Age-events is compared to a long-term population trajectory based on archaeological data, showing little or no negative impact on human demography during the mid-Holocene. 30 00 Climate has changed considerably throughout the Holocene and humans have continuously adapted to environmental change.

Her research centres around pre-Viking Age settlement and conflict archaeology in Scandinavia, in addition to environmental archaeology. She managed the archaeological excavations prior to the extension of the Norwegian main Air base at Ørland in 2015–2016, which uncovered extensive settlement traces with faunal, vegetational and geographical data from ca. 500 bc to ad 1050.

His research includes early Medieval and Viking Age studies, with a particular focus on mortuary practices and settlement studies. He has led several large archaeological excavation projects in central Norway and managed the excavations in Vinjefjord during 2019–2020, which uncovered extensive evidence of settlements and pre-Christian cemeteries from ca. ad 350–1350. 01 eng 03 00 This chapter explores the impact of the mid-sixth century climatic downturn, triggered by volcanic eruptions in ad 536 and 540, on two settlements in central Norway: Vik in Ørland and Vinjeøra in Vinjefjord. The study examines how these communities, with differing geographical and cultural contexts, responded to the cooling event. Vik, situated on the outer coast, experienced a decline due to its vulnerable position and the retraction of its harbour. In contrast, Vinjeøra, located in a fjord, showed resilience and adaptability, quickly re-establishing itself after a brief period of abandonment. The analysis highlights the concepts of resilience, vulnerability and adaptation, demonstrating how local geographi- cal conditions and pre-existing social structures influenced the communities’ ability to cope with climatic stress. The findings underscore the importance of multi-scalar approaches in understanding the varied human responses to global climatic events. 30 00 This chapter explores the impact of the mid-sixth century climatic downturn, triggered by volcanic eruptions in ad 536 and 540, on two settlements in central Norway: Vik in Ørland and Vinjeøra in Vinjefjord.

Her research interests focus on the environmental history of northern Europe, Scandinavian-Slavic interrelations in the Viking Age, and early medieval economies. 01 eng 03 00 This article explores the impact of volcanic activity on medieval Icelandic society, focusing on both external shocks and community adaptations. Utilising the vulnerability framework established by Robert Chambers, it examines Iceland’s susceptibility to eruptions in pre-modern times, with particular attention to the Eldgjá (c. 939) and Hekla (1104) events. These eruptions had a profound impact on Icelandic society, disrupted settlements, shaped landscapes and influened cultural and religious narratives. While sagas rarely mention volcanic events, annals, legal texts such as Grágás, and vow contracts reveal practical coping strategies that included church relocations and community rituals. Archaeologi- cal evidence highlights resilience through the reconstruction of settlements on tephra-covered land, and written accounts such as the Norwegian King’s Mirror portray eruptions as a form of divine judgment by blending spiritual interpreta- tions with pragmatic responses. This interdisciplinary framework underscores medieval Iceland’s adaptability to environmental hazards and offers valuable insights into socio-environmental resilience in volatile landscapes that remain relevant for modern disaster management. 30 00 This article explores the impact of volcanic activity on medieval Icelandic society, focusing on both external shocks and community adaptations.

Using the architecture and archae- ological remains from surveys and excavations, the four manor houses will be discussed in relation to adaptation and resilience. It is established that Vosborg 1 and 2 were impacted by the 1593 storm surge. Vosborg 1 was replaced by Vosborg 3 approximately 900 metres inland after it sustained devastating flooding and damage, at the turn of the seventeenth century. Vosborg 2 was also damaged by the same environmental event, yet some building material was rescued and reused to create Vosborg 4.

Different technologies were adapted to buildings to manage colder climates and more snow and therefore water during the Little Ice Age. Adaptations are identified in the archaeological material, particularly in high- status buildings from fifteenth-century Norway. Medieval architecture alterations were entangled with climate changes. New technologies accommodated lower temperatures and water increase. Building campaigns dated to the period could also have been involved in several societal developments (e.g., technology, ritual, social patterns or consumption) that are also revealed in built environments. The examples presented correspond chronologically with the Little Ice Age, are secondarily added to a dwelling structure, are directly associated with chang- ing climates and serve as a solution to climate-related problems. Four features are particularly significant instances of climate change adaptation and are here discussed: drains, brick rebuilding, tile stoves and stone cellars. 30 00 Dwellings interact with climates to suit different temperatures, rainfalls and rainfall conditions.

He has nearly two decades of experience in university teaching and curriculum development in geography, climate and environmental science, and quantitative methods. His research specialities include climate-system variability and regime shifts, historical climate, paleoclimate, and sea ice. His regional areas of interest are the European-Atlantic Arctic and Subarctic, including Greenland and Svalbard. Methodological approaches include empirical analysis of multivariate data records and time-series analysis, using independent but complementary data sources such as historical observations, long instrumental time series and high-resolution paleo proxy records from biological (e.g., marine sclerochronology) and geological archives (e.g., marine sediments). 01 eng 03 00 This paper considers variations in the occurrence of sea ice off the coasts of Iceland, and compares these with air temperatures on land, particularly for the north of Iceland, for the period c. ad 1600-1850. Data are drawn from Iceland’s rich treasury of historical records on climate and weather. For the most part, cold air temperatures on land and the incidence of sea ice correlate well, but this is not always the case. Periods with low temperatures and high sea-ice incidence include the early 1600s, the 1690s, the 1750s, the 1780s and the mid-1800s. A distinct mild period with little sea ice occurred during c. 1640 to c. 1680. Subse- quent to our main study period, the most severe years of the nineteenth century were likely to have been 1858-1892. High sea-ice incidence is also evident in, e.g., the 1880s and 1910s, in contrast to the climate amelioration recorded in Europe. The most notable feature of Iceland’s climate is its variability, thus mak- ing it problematic to ascribe a single distinct period reflecting a ‘Little Ice Age’. 30 00 This paper considers variations in the occurrence of sea ice off the coasts of Iceland, and compares these with air temperatures on land, particularly for the north of Iceland, for the period c. ad 1600-1850.

Integrating Agricultural Vulnerability and Climate Extremes. Eighteenth-Century Norway through the Works of Jacob Nicolaj Wilse (1735– 1801) 1 A01 Ingar Mørkestøl Gundersen Ingar Ingar Gundersen Postdoctoral Research Fellow 40 01xtthb56 University of Oslo Researcher at the Centre for Advanced Study 40 00g8k7g33 Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters Ingar Mørkestøl Gundersen is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the Department of Archaeology, Conservation, and History at the University of Oslo. He has published on a range of topics on climate history and the Scandinavian Iron Age. Gundersen received his Ph.D. in 2022 with the thesis ‘Iron Age Vulnerability’, which investigated the archaeological evidence for a sixth-century climate crisis in eastern Norway. His doctoral research was part of the VIKINGS project (Volcanic Eruptions and their Impacts on Climate, Environment, and Viking Society in 500–1250 ce). Together with Dr Manon Bajard, he received the Inter Circle U. prize 2022 for outstanding examples of cross-disciplinary research. He is currently part of two research projects on the Nordic Little Ice Age (ClimateCultures, University of Oslo and The Nordic Little Ice Age (1300–1900) Lessons from Past Climate Change (NORLIA) at the Centre for Advanced Study at the Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters. 01 eng 03 00 In this study, I have made use of agricultural and meteorological data from late eighteenth-century pastor Wilse in Spydeberg, southeastern Norway, to analyse the impact of climate extremes on a premodern farming society. His farm records from the 1770s are used to improve an existing GDD model and then tested, by using his measured weather data, on the warm and cold sum- mers of 1783 and 1784 respectively. The improved GDD model demonstrates that the 1784 climate anomaly had the potential to severely affect the crops. Contemporary accounts from other parts of southeastern Norway support the model result by reporting widespread harvest failures. Even though Norway is particularly susceptible to climate variations, the importance of climate extremes for these events has been little discussed among Norwegian historians. However, an integrated approach can be used to move beyond mere correlation between climate and human proxies towards some level of causation and contribute with new insights on the role of climatic stress for sociopolitical changes in the past. 30 00 In this study, I have made use of agricultural and meteorological data from late eighteenth-century pastor Wilse in Spydeberg, southeastern Norway, to analyse the impact of climate extremes on a premodern farming society.

Ice Jams in the Aura River, Turku, Southwest Finland, 1739–2024 1 A01 21 000000031473362X Stefan Norrgård Stefan Norrgård Senior Researcher and Climate Historian 40 029pk6x14 Åbo Akademi University Stefan Norrgård is a senior researcher and climate historian at the Department of History at Åbo Akademi University in Turku, Finland. Subsequent to reconstruct- ing climate in West Africa during the 1700s, his research interests have centred on riverine ice breakups in Finland. He has reconstructed spring ice breakups for both the Aura River (Turku) and the Kokemäki River (Pori) between the 1700s and 2000s. He has several publications on ice breakups but his research field also covers historical climate adaptation processes and meteorological observations in Finland and Sweden in the 1700s. His ongoing research project, founded by the Kone Foundation, investigates climate, culture and society in Finland in the 1700s. 06 Own website https://research.abo.fi/en/persons/bcdd2ec1-da6c-4f46-a3a0-3441c616dd01 01 eng 03 00 This study investigates the historical occurrence and impact of ice jams in the Aura River, Turku, Finland, from 1739 to 2025. Ice jams, which are common in regions with prolonged river ice cover, can cause significant water level rises and subsequent flooding. The study analyses historical documents, including newspaper articles and weather journals, to reconstruct past ice jam events and their effects. Key findings highlight the role of natural and anthropogenic ob- stacles, such as bridges and skating rinks, in initiating ice jams. The study further examines the methods employed to mitigate these events. An ice jam index is developed to categorise the severity of events over time. The results indicate a clear change towards fewer severe ice jam events in the twentieth century. This research contributes to understanding hydrological extremes and their historical context in Finnish rivers. 30 00 This study investigates the historical occurrence and impact of ice jams in the Aura River, Turku, Finland, from 1739 to 2025.

These were written mostly by groups of professors at Norwegian Universities taking charge of one volume/historical period each, and were aimed at the general public. Sales were high, and the impact on public perception of history can likely only be compared with that of the most successful school textbooks. This chapter examines the role of climate and climate change as an agent of historical change in these works, concentrating on prehistory as well as the periods corresponding to what are today known as the Late Antique / Early Medieval Little Ice Age, the Medieval Warm Period and the Little Ice Age. While these terms rarely appear in the examined works, the potential role of climate and climate change in bringing about historical change is discussed to varying degree. These accounts are viewed through the lens of the narrative theory, enabling us to classify nar- ratives of identity, decline and growth propelled by climate and climate change, as well as to pursue the limited, but growing awareness of environmental history in mainstream Norwegian historiography. 30 00 From the mid-nineteenth to the early twenty-first century, a number of multi- volume histories of Norway were published by major trade presses.

Glacier Poetry in Norwegian Literary Historiography 1 A01 Kristine Kleveland Kristine Kleveland Ph.D. student 40 01xtthb56 University of Oslo Kristine Kleveland is a Ph.D. student in Nordic literature at the University of Oslo. Her research focuses on glaciers as motifs in Norwegian poetry. Kleveland is a for- mer lecturer in Literature at the Western Norway University of Applied Sciences. 01 eng 03 00 Perceptions of glaciers through poetry are significant to Nordic climate history. This paper examines Norwegian literary critical discussions of glacier poetry. Eighteen glacier poems are mentioned in fifteen works of literary history. However, the glacier motifs themselves are seldom given much attention by the critics and glacier poetry has not explicitly been identified as a distinct poetic tradition. The glacier motifs in the eighteen poems and discussions of them show a couple of tendencies in uses and understandings of glaciers. These are explored through close readings of four poems, written by Andreas Munch, Arnulf Øverland, Gunvor Hofmo and Kristofer Uppdal. These poems suggest trends in how glacier poetry is indirectly canonised, often emphasising patriotism and national romanticism, identity-building and fortifying backgrounds, and themes of solitude and isolation, thereby reinforcing ideas about the ‘people of the north’ and the unique role glaciers play in their cultural narrative. 30 00 Perceptions of glaciers through poetry are significant to Nordic climate history.

Through a Mirror, Darkly Bringing Deep Environmental History into the Museum 1 A01 21 0000000248797157 Felix Riede Felix Riede Professor in Departments of Archaeology, Heritage Studies and Biology 40 01aj84f44 Aarhus University Felix Riede is German-born and British educated with a Ph.D. in archaeology from Cambridge University. Inspired by evolutionary and ecological theory and methods, he seeks to understand human-environment relations past, present and future. His work focuses on major tipping point episodes such as the end of the Pleistocene, extreme environmental events such as volcanic eruptions, earthquakes and tsunamis, novel ecosystems, and on the archaeology of the Anthropocene. After leaving Cambridge for UCL and then Aarhus University, Felix is now Professor, affiliated both with the Departments of Archaeology and Heritage Studies, and of Biology. At Aarhus, he founded the Centre for Environmental Humanities; he was also Visiting Professor at the Oslo Centre for Environmental Humanities and Visiting Scholar at the Oeschger Centre for Climate Change Research. Felix brings a distinct perspective on deep time and material relations to environmental history. 01 eng 03 00 Around 13,000 years ago – at the tail end of a prolonged cold spell and to- wards the end of the Ice Age – the Laacher See volcano located in present-day western Germany erupted cataclysmically. Abrasive and poisonous ash from this eruption was transported in a vast swath across Europe with a primary fallout cloud stretching towards the north-east. Environments, climate, and contemporaneous human populations were affected in a variety of ways; the Nordic area specifically was affected – indirectly – by serving as a refugium for small bands of prehistoric disaster refugees. Despite the enormity of this event, and the threat that this merely dormant volcano still poses today, it remains poorly known to the public, not least in the Nordic region. I here explore how the narrative qualities of such an archaeological scenario can be transformed into a museum exhibition whose aim it is to (i) put societal vulnerability into a deep historical perspective and to (ii) highlight how contemporary societies, too, are vulnerable to processes of climatic change and extreme environmental events plentifully documented in the past. 30 00 Around 13,000 years ago – at the tail end of a prolonged cold spell and to- wards the end of the Ice Age – the Laacher See volcano located in present-day western Germany erupted cataclysmically.

Utilitarianism can appear to recommend practically unlimited population increase, with quantity of life taking precedence over quality; theories based on a social contract present difficulties involving reciprocity – we can affect the lives of future people while they apparently cannot affect ours; while the idea of rights seems difficult to apply to those whose future existence may depend on our present choice of action – do ‘potential’ people have a ‘right’ to be born?<break/>On its original publication, the journal Ethics devoted 30 pages to a review of Obligations to Future Generations, and the book is still frequently and extensively cited and discussed. The philosophical questions raised here centre around ‘whether and to what degree it can be morally incumbent on us to make sacrifices to bring happy people into the world or to avoid preventing them being brought into the world’. The implications surrounding this central question are becoming ever more urgent in the light of increasing concerns over dwindling resources, population growth, globalisation and environmental risk. This collection is essential reading for students of ethics and social policy, and for anyone concerned with the relation between the present choices and future chances of humanity. 01 00 03 02 Simple drawing of a matrix of human figures in paper cutout shape. 02 https://www.whpress.co.uk/publications/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/9781874267317.jpg 01 URL https://whpress.co.uk/ The White Horse Press 01 The White Horse Press 01 Publisher's website: home page https://www.whpress.co.uk/ 02 Publisher's website: webpage for this title https://www.whpress.co.uk/publications/2012/09/01/obligations-to-future-generations/ Winwick, UK 04 01 20120901 The White Horse Press 02 WORLD 06 15 9781874267317 03 9781874267317 WORLD 09 The White Horse Press 02 Publisher's website: webpage for this product https://www.whpress.co.uk/publications/2012/09/01/obligations-to-future-generations/ 20 08 20120901 01 urn:uuid:9ad472ef-ba44-4d38-b242-140934da3f83 03 01 01 thoth-work-id urn:uuid:7315b7d9-548d-4e47-b725-99c11b5f1252 01 thoth-publication-id urn:uuid:9ad472ef-ba44-4d38-b242-140934da3f83 15 9781912186549 03 9781912186549 00 BC 10 01 260 mm 01 26 cm 01 10.24 in 02 168 mm 02 16.8 cm 02 6.61 in 01 01 Pacific Forest A History of Resource Control and Contest in Solomon Islands, c. 1800–1997 1 A01 Judith A.

Christof Mauch is a leading German historian who has spent many years in the US and in this book he attempts, from a European perspective, to grasp the diversity of American culture and the transformation of its environments, combining travel reporting with nature writing, personal observation and philosophical reflection. Mauch seeks the familiar in unfamiliar places and the curious in places that seem common and well-known. <break/>The journey begins in tiny Wiseman, Alaska and the final portrait is of Portland, Oregon, famously America’s most sustainable city. In between, Mauch’s wanderings in space and time, his serendipitous and planned encounters with places and people, bring to light the tension and ambivalence in most Americans’ attitudes towards their often-perilous environment, the intertwining throughout history of valuation, conservation and destruction. Interactions between human beings and the environment have settled like sediment down the centuries and may be read in the present – in the form of landscapes and collective memory, in bodies of water and the earth’s strata, tree rings and human cells. One of Mauch’s dominant themes is that the grand hopes and bitter disappointments of the American paradise are not equally distributed – the blues is the voice of the dispossessed and disadvantaged; and here environmental injustice toward Black, Indigenous and other marginalised people is a recurring and haunting motif.<break/>This is a book of melancholia and hope – Mauch exposes the beauty, the imperilment, at times the wreckage, of the American environment. And he shows us that, more powerfully than abstract ideas, governmental edicts or technological forces, stories reveal the infinite discoveries to be made in humans’ relationship to nature – in beautiful landscapes where danger lurks as well as in visions and behaviours that change the world and ecosystems. Above all, stories demonstrate that where we come from and where we are going are intimately connected and therefore nothing has to remain as it is. The stories told in Paradise Blues demonstrate that vulnerabilities and pressures are almost always political constructions and, for that reason, it must be possible to deconstruct them. 30 00 Paradise Blues is an unconventional history of the United States of America, an unusual travel guide that follows and renders visible the country’s paths of nature, history and civilisation.

In between, Mauch’s wanderings in space and time, his serendipitous and planned encounters with places and people, bring to light the tension and ambivalence in most Americans’ attitudes towards their often-perilous environment, the intertwining throughout history of valuation, conservation and destruction. Interactions between human beings and the environment have settled like sediment down the centuries and may be read in the present – in the form of landscapes and collective memory, in bodies of water and the earth’s strata, tree rings and human cells. One of Mauch’s dominant themes is that the grand hopes and bitter disappointments of the American paradise are not equally distributed – the blues is the voice of the dispossessed and disadvantaged; and here environmental injustice toward Black, Indigenous and other marginalised people is a recurring and haunting motif.<break/>This is a book of melancholia and hope – Mauch exposes the beauty, the imperilment, at times the wreckage, of the American environment. And he shows us that, more powerfully than abstract ideas, governmental edicts or technological forces, stories reveal the infinite discoveries to be made in humans’ relationship to nature – in beautiful landscapes where danger lurks as well as in visions and behaviours that change the world and ecosystems. Above all, stories demonstrate that where we come from and where we are going are intimately connected and therefore nothing has to remain as it is. The stories told in Paradise Blues demonstrate that vulnerabilities and pressures are almost always political constructions and, for that reason, it must be possible to deconstruct them. 04 00 List of Illustrations and Maps Prologue Wiseman, Alaska Malibu, California Memphis, Tennessee St Thomas, Nevada Dodge City, Kansas Niagara Walt Disney World, Florida Portland, Oregon Afterword Index 20 00 Open Access 01 00 03 02 Aerial view of villa rooftops on a tropical shore. 02 https://books.whpress.co.uk/10.3197/63842832816954.book_frontcover.png 01 URL https://whpress.co.uk/ The White Horse Press 01 The White Horse Press 01 Publisher's website: home page https://www.whpress.co.uk/ 02 Publisher's website: webpage for this title https://www.whpress.co.uk/publications/2023/06/05/paradise-blues/ 16 40 04pz7b180 Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung Winwick, Cambridgeshire, UK 04 01 20240115 Christof Mauch 02 WORLD 06 15 9781912186785 03 9781912186785 WORLD 11 OAPEN 36 OAPEN: webpage for this product https://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/87682 29 OAPEN: download the title https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/handle/20.500.12657/87682/external_content.pdf?sequence=1&isAllowed=y 20 08 20240115 01 11 INTERNET_ARCHIVE 36 INTERNET_ARCHIVE: webpage for this product https://archive.org/details/21612ce1-1004-4cd4-b9d4-84c02ab16b96 29 INTERNET_ARCHIVE: download the title https://archive.org/download/21612ce1-1004-4cd4-b9d4-84c02ab16b96/21612ce1-1004-4cd4-b9d4-84c02ab16b96.pdf 20 08 20240115 01 11 THOTH 36 THOTH: webpage for this product https://www.whpress.co.uk/publications/2023/06/05/paradise-blues/ 29 THOTH: download the title https://books.whpress.co.uk/10.3197/63842832816954.book.pdf 20 08 20240115 01 urn:uuid:ff002475-8730-4440-a824-2c7f06900c92 03 01 01 thoth-work-id urn:uuid:f7c17054-ff85-4859-b47d-0c0bb8035800 01 thoth-publication-id urn:uuid:ff002475-8730-4440-a824-2c7f06900c92 15 9781874267980 03 9781874267980 00 BB 10 01 226 mm 01 22.6 cm 01 8.9 in 02 152 mm 02 15.2 cm 02 5.98 in 01 01 Pastoralist Livelihoods in Asian Drylands Environment, Governance and Risk 1 A01 21 0000000199114996 Ariell Ahearn Ariell Ahearn 40 052gg0110 University of Oxford Ariell Ahearn is an ESRC postdoctoral fellow at the School for Geography and the Environment, University of Oxford.

Her research areas include contemporary vernacular practices such as gardening, rural landscape management and recreational walking, with particular focus on the landscapes where these and other activities are taking place. She has carried out field studies in rural, urban and semi-urban environments, including intensively tended private gardens and agricultural landscapes as well as transitory and temporarily leftover places at the urban fringe. 3 B01 Sverker Sörlin Sverker Sörlin Professor of Environmental History 40 026vcq606 KTH Royal Institute of Technology Sverker Sörlin is Professor of Environmental History at the Division of History, KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, where he was also a co-founder with Nina Wormbs of the KTH Environmental Humanities Laboratory (2011). He has a long-standing career as scholar and writer focusing on the science and politics of natural resource extraction and climate change. He has also published widely on representations of landscape and its significance in the formation of national and other identities. His seminal collection on the history of out of doors in Sweden (Friluftshistoria, with Klas Sandell) had a second edition in 2008. Increasingly working on ‘elemental’ Earth-, Cryo- and Atmospheric narratives and histories, his most recent book is Ice Humanities: Living, Thinking and Working in a Melting World (Manchester 2022, with Klaus Dodds). 01 eng 00 331 03 09 69 12 GM 10 HIS049000 10 SPO050000 12 WSZC 10 SOC015000 20 walking; trails; heritage; history; environment 01 06 02 00 This anthology explores possibilities to acknowledge human motion, and traces thereof, as heritage.

So far, the historical and heritage aspects of these developments have been underarticulated. However, the Norwegian heritage board together with the Norwegian Tourist Association (Den Norske Turistforening, DNT) have initiated a project around historical hiking trails that have been attracting attention over the last couple of years.

With this anthology we will contribute with precisely that through gathering leading scholars in Europe and beyond around this subject and engaging them in dialogue. 20 00 Open Access 01 00 03 02 Photograph of a path leading down to the sea. 02 https://books.whpress.co.uk/10.3197/63787710662654.book_frontcover.jpg 2 03 06 10.3197/63787710662654.intro 1 29 29 Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International license (CC BY-NC-ND 4.0). 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ Chapter 01 01 Introduction: Movement Heritage and Path Dependence Layering the Past 1 A01 21 0000000229144476 Daniel Svensson Daniel Svensson Associate Senior Lecturer at the Department of Sport Sciences 40 05wp7an13 Malmö University Daniel Svensson has a Ph.D. in history and is an Associate Senior Lecturer at the Department of Sport Sciences, Malmö University.

It is a story about the hopes of foresters and other scientists to understand the forests more deeply, and about their unspoken trust that their knowledge could ensure an enduring sylvan future. Much has been written on the origins and development of modern forestry in various countries, and on the people and institutions involved, but there is little in the forest history literature that explains what the science actually is. Forest knowledge has an ancient history documented since classical times and applied within the intricate social and legal systems of medieval Europe. This volume is concerned with the modern form of forest science, founded in Europe early in the nineteenth century, when regimes for managing the forests that could be traced to the ancient world and had flourished in the Middle Ages were disrupted. 30 00 This book tells the story of the hopeful science and trusting art of forestry.

This book explores some of the enormous variety in the ways that people have worked with, thought about, damaged and restored soils. It also shows some of the ways in which soils, their properties and their histories have influenced human affairs. Soils are the substrate of all human society: from the palaeolithic to the present, their history is our history. 01 00 03 02 Old woodcut of agricultural landscape under plow, inset on a photograph of dried soil. 02 https://www.whpress.co.uk/publications/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/9781874267546.jpg 01 URL https://whpress.co.uk/ The White Horse Press 01 The White Horse Press 01 Publisher's website: home page https://www.whpress.co.uk/ 02 Publisher's website: webpage for this title https://www.whpress.co.uk/publications/2010/01/01/soils-and-societies/ Winwick, UK 04 01 20100101 The White Horse Press 02 WORLD 06 15 9781874267546 03 9781874267546 06 15 9781874267522 03 9781874267522 WORLD 09 The White Horse Press 02 Publisher's website: webpage for this product https://www.whpress.co.uk/publications/2010/01/01/soils-and-societies/ 20 08 20100101 01 urn:uuid:0a8471c2-7359-44f7-817b-8ef74483d065 03 01 01 thoth-work-id urn:uuid:7bdfc5af-6701-4c96-8473-ef53fb12e418 01 thoth-publication-id urn:uuid:0a8471c2-7359-44f7-817b-8ef74483d065 15 9781912186808 03 9781912186808 06 10.3197/63835750505407.book 00 BB 10 01 229 mm 01 22.9 cm 01 9.02 in 02 152 mm 02 15.2 cm 02 5.98 in 01 01 Taking a Walk A History of Recreational Walking in Britain 1 A01 Ann Holt Ann Holt Ann Holt grew up in the fen country of East Anglia. The first walk she remembers, aged about three, was with her grandmother, who carried a small bag which they filled with sticks for kindling as they walked. As a mature student at the University of Hull she got a degree in sociology and found a community of ramblers, learned that walking required skills and came with its own history. There were books, stories, organisations, heroes, epic struggles, victories and defeats. Gradually, walking became more than a recreation, an endlessly fascinating topic to be researched and thought about. As a result she has done a variety of free-lance projects on walking and the outdoors, edited three books and contributed articles to magazines and journals. This is the book she always intended to write, finally achieved with the help of the Covid lockdown. 01 eng 00 524 03 09 26 10 SPO050000 93 SZC 12 WSZC 12 HBJD1 93 NHD 10 SPO018000 12 1DBK 93 1DDU 10 HIS010000 20 walking; rambling; Britain; outdoors 01 06 02 00 Walking has appealed to all sorts of people throughout its long recorded history, and this volume delves into a rich variety of sources about walking in Britain from the 12th to the 20th century, including diaries, letters, memoirs, poems, fiction, government reports and newspapers. 03 00 Walking is a simple and popular recreation, but one that comes freighted with meaning, social attitudes and value judgements.

One of the world’s most important commodities, soy represents the embodiment of mechanised industrial agriculture and is one of the main actors behind the socioeconomic, political and ecological transformations of industrial farming in several world regions. Despite the crop’s potential as a cheap source of vegetal protein for human consumers, most industrial soybean production has fuelled the global meat industrial complex, as animal feed. Soybean is thus, paradoxically, still a relatively ‘invisible’ crop to the public at large, although its global yields continue to increase at stupendous rates, lining the pockets of agribusiness and to the detriment of traditional agriculture.<break/>The transnational socio-ecological and economic entanglements characterising this versatile legume’s global expansion have prompted scholarly attention as researchers around the world have begun to unveil the main historical drivers behind the rise of the soybean in the global food chain. This book aims to expand the analysis, offering the most significant effort so far at an environmental history of soybeans. Interrogating the socioeconomic and ecological transformations determined by (and determining) the rise of soy in international food chains during the Great Acceleration, the volume gathers contributions from an international cast of researchers, working in numerous geographical contexts, from Japan and China, to India, African nations, the Southern Cone of Latin America, Northern Europe and the United States. Soybean farming, breeding, processing and marketing have bound together the histories of these diverse regions and altered beyond recognition their ecological and socio-economic contexts. 30 00 The soybean is far more than just a versatile crop whose derivates serve the protein needs of a meatless diet.

His initial research over a long period of time was the economic history of Southern Italy in the modern age. But he has increasingly dedicated himself to environmental history, making it his main field of research. The topics on which he has focused his attention are the history of Italian environmentalism, in particular the pioneering activities that took place in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries; and environmentalism from the Second World War to the present, including national parks and protected areas, as well as the relationship between environmental issues and the cultural, political and spiritual currents of the 1960s and 1970s. His publications in English include the book Forty Years Later: The Reception of the Limits to Growth in Italy, 1971–1974 (2012), and he was editor of the book Ninety Years of Abruzzo National Park 1922–2012. Proceedings of the Conference Held in Pescasseroli, May 18–20, 2012 (2013). He has also written several articles in English, including ‘The rise of European environmentalism: a cosmopolitan wave, 1865–1914’, ‘Only one Earth: The Holy See and ecology’, ‘Protectionism and the protection of nature in Italy over the end of nineteenth and the first half of the twentieth centuries’, and ‘Protecting the Alps. Italian protected areas in the Alpine Range 1911–1991’. He is vice-president of the Italian Society for the History of Fauna and director of the environmental history magazine altronovecento. 2 B06 James Sievert James Sievert 40 03s65by71 University of California, Santa Cruz James Sievert received his Ph.D. in environmental history from the University of California, Santa Cruz.

In contrast to the post-World War Two period, the lines in the movement’s objectives between wilderness, landscape and cultural and artistic heritage were very blurred, and scientific and humanistic knowledge both played an equally important role. In Italy, a network of associations and institutions was built up and then eventually faded between 1885 and the beginning of the 1930s. Although this network did not succeed in deeply influencing the scientific and civic culture of the country, it achieved important successes and placed Italy at the forefront of Europe in terms of environmental and landscape protection. Among the most significant results of this mobilisation was the law of 1923 for the defence of natural beauty, which later formed the basis of Article 9 of the Constitution of 1948, and the creation of the national parks of Gran Paradiso and Abruzzo, among the first to be established in Europe. This book analytically reconstructs the events of the nature protection movement, contextualising them in the cultural and political-institutional climate of the time; highlights the movement’s full inclusion in contemporary European protectionist initiatives; and attempts to take stock of its significance and historical legacy. 30 00 Between 1880 and the outbreak of World War One, a large movement for landscape and nature protection flourished in Europe, driven primarily by a nationalist culture, but also featuring a strong international outlook.

Luccarelli embeds his environmental study in the works of these men and in the course of American history between the planting of the city of Philadelphia and the establishment of Olmsted’s major urban parks. 20 00 Open Access 01 00 03 02 Old painting of people working fishing nets on a river in front of a distant town in a pastoral landscape. 02 https://books.whpress.co.uk/10.3197/63833942852628.book_frontcover.jpg 1 03 06 10.3197/63833942852628.intro 1 7 7 Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International license (CC BY 4.0). 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Chapter 01 01 Introduction 20 00 Open Access Mark Lucarelli 2 03 06 10.3197/63833942852628.ch01 9 56 48 Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International license (CC BY 4.0). 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Chapter 01 01 Philadelphia: Green Urbanism and the Atlantic World 20 00 Open Access Mark Lucarelli 3 03 06 10.3197/63833942852628.ch02 57 78 22 Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International license (CC BY 4.0). 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Chapter 01 01 Washington: Territory 20 00 Open Access Mark Lucarelli 4 03 06 10.3197/63833942852628.ch03 79 125 47 Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International license (CC BY 4.0). 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Chapter 01 01 The Hudson Valley: Landscape 20 00 Open Access Mark Lucarelli 5 03 06 10.3197/63833942852628.ch04 126 174 49 Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International license (CC BY 4.0). 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Chapter 01 01 Maine: The Woods 20 00 Open Access Mark Lucarelli 6 03 06 10.3197/63833942852628.ch05 175 215 41 Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International license (CC BY 4.0). 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Chapter 01 01 New York: The Emergence of Green Space 20 00 Open Access Mark Lucarelli 7 03 06 10.3197/63833942852628.ch06 216 220 5 Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International license (CC BY 4.0). 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Chapter 01 01 Conclusion: The Reinvention of Green Space? 20 00 Open Access Mark Lucarelli 01 URL https://whpress.co.uk/ The White Horse Press 01 The White Horse Press 01 Publisher's website: home page https://www.whpress.co.uk/ 02 Publisher's website: webpage for this title https://www.whpress.co.uk/publications/2016/12/17/the-eclipse-of-urbanism-and-the-greening-of-public-space/ 16 40 04rswrd78 32 10.13039/100009227 Iowa State University Winwick, UK 04 01 20161215 Marc Lucarelli 02 WORLD 06 15 9781874267942 03 9781874267942 WORLD 11 JSTOR 36 JSTOR: webpage for this product https://www.jstor.org/stable/j.ctv289dv7r 29 JSTOR: download the title https://www.jstor.org/stable/j.ctv289dv7r 20 08 20161215 01 11 INTERNET_ARCHIVE 36 INTERNET_ARCHIVE: webpage for this product https://archive.org/details/04b66d69-76b9-42ac-9cd8-c35a56ac694f 29 INTERNET_ARCHIVE: download the title https://archive.org/download/04b66d69-76b9-42ac-9cd8-c35a56ac694f/04b66d69-76b9-42ac-9cd8-c35a56ac694f.pdf 20 08 20161215 01 11 THOTH 36 THOTH: webpage for this product https://www.whpress.co.uk/publications/2016/12/17/the-eclipse-of-urbanism-and-the-greening-of-public-space/ 29 THOTH: download the title https://books.whpress.co.uk/10.3197/63833942852628.book.pdf 20 08 20161215 01 urn:uuid:c6239fae-a52c-4ad8-bd34-55ae192e7e6c 03 01 01 thoth-work-id urn:uuid:7f473052-39ca-4f60-85a3-44648950dda6 01 thoth-publication-id urn:uuid:c6239fae-a52c-4ad8-bd34-55ae192e7e6c 15 9781912186143 03 9781912186143 06 10.3197/63811648691469.book 00 BB 10 Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International license (CC BY-NC-ND 4.0). 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ 01 01 The Environment and the European Public Sphere Perceptions, Actions, Policies 1 B01 Christian Wenkel Christian Wenkel Associate Professor of Contemporary History 40 053x9s498 Artois University Christian Wenkel is associate professor of contemporary history at Artois University.

His recent books are Housing the Environmental Imagination: Beauty, Politics and Refuge in American Nature Writing and Ecocritical Aesthetics: Language, Beauty, and the Environment (ed. with Scott Slovic). He has worked in ecocritical studies since the mid 1980s and has a long-time interest in the life and work of Robinson Jeffers, having been President of the Jeffers Association for several years. He works on O’ahu, Hawai’i but lives part-time on the Big Island – situated near the ocean and on the world’s most active volcano – with his wife, sons and Golden Retrievers. 01 eng 00 275 03 09 31 12 HPN 10 PHI001000 12 DS 10 NAT011000 12 DSBH 20 aesthetics; ecocriticism; Robinson Jeffers; beauty 01 06 02 00 This book reviews the devastating impacts modernist avant-garde, Marxism, some feminisms and postmodernism have enacted – through paranoia, blame, cynicism – on beauty, hope and desire. 03 00 "The Forbidden Subject" launches from Ed Abbey’s affirmation in Desert Solitaire: ‘This is the most beautiful place on earth’. How could such a sentiment become construed as problematic, elitist, or worse? How was a calculated and intentional attack on beauty sustained for more than a century? How did beauty become, and why does it largely remain, what Emory Elliot dubbed ‘the forbidden subject’? This book reviews the devastating impacts modernist avant-garde, Marxism, some feminisms and postmodernism have enacted – through paranoia, blame, cynicism – on beauty, hope and desire. Oppositional epistemologies deliberately eviscerated the possibilities and standing of beauty in criticism as well as in lived experience. According to Myra Jehlen, the orthodox critic thus became ‘an adversary of the work he or she analyses’, tasked with undoing the aesthetic deception of what was read to ‘expose its misrepresentations and false ideals, to strip away the lie and expose the liar’. Tracing the war on natural beauty through the literary and visual arts, The Forbidden Subject asks what it has meant for the humanities, for problem solving environmental issues, for educating students, for our personal lives and, more recently, for ecocriticism. The book asks if current ecocriticism has been misdirected by the corrosive weight of negativity – the requirement always to be ‘reading against’ – that has persisted in the arts and humanities for decades. It rehearses why a ‘return to beauty’ was imperative, and what has happened to that return since the turn of the twenty-first century. Pondering these questions, The Forbidden Subject intertwines the potential place and nature of beauty and the beauty of nature and place, concluding with a substantial reading of the poetry and thought of Robinson Jeffers. 30 00 "The Forbidden Subject" launches from Ed Abbey’s affirmation in Desert Solitaire: ‘This is the most beautiful place on earth’.

Pondering these questions, The Forbidden Subject intertwines the potential place and nature of beauty and the beauty of nature and place, concluding with a substantial reading of the poetry and thought of Robinson Jeffers. 01 00 03 02 Close-up photograph of a monarch butterfly perched on the toe of a dirty shoe. 02 https://www.whpress.co.uk/publications/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/9781912186129.png 01 URL https://whpress.co.uk/ The White Horse Press 01 The White Horse Press 01 Publisher's website: home page https://www.whpress.co.uk/ 02 Publisher's website: webpage for this title https://www.whpress.co.uk/publications/2019/07/22/the-forbidden-subject/ Winwick, UK 04 01 20170722 The White Horse Press 02 WORLD 06 15 9781912186129 03 9781912186129 WORLD 09 The White Horse Press 02 Publisher's website: webpage for this product https://www.whpress.co.uk/publications/2019/07/22/the-forbidden-subject/ 20 08 20170722 01 urn:uuid:bf0fc4fb-9665-4987-9b46-2b9ad68bab78 03 01 01 thoth-work-id urn:uuid:dd96c58a-039a-46f2-b2c1-82e44202bbd2 01 thoth-publication-id urn:uuid:bf0fc4fb-9665-4987-9b46-2b9ad68bab78 15 9781912186129 03 9781912186129 00 EB E107 10 01 01 The Forbidden Subject How Oppositional Aesthetics Banished Natural Beauty from the Arts 1 A01 Peter Quigley Peter Quigley 40 03tzaeb71 University of Hawaii System Peter Quigley is associate Vice President of academics for the UH system and Professor of English at the University of Hawaii, Manoa. His recent books are Housing the Environmental Imagination: Beauty, Politics and Refuge in American Nature Writing and Ecocritical Aesthetics: Language, Beauty, and the Environment (ed. with Scott Slovic). He has worked in ecocritical studies since the mid 1980s and has a long-time interest in the life and work of Robinson Jeffers, having been President of the Jeffers Association for several years. He works on O’ahu, Hawai’i but lives part-time on the Big Island – situated near the ocean and on the world’s most active volcano – with his wife, sons and Golden Retrievers. 01 eng 00 275 03 09 31 12 HPN 10 PHI001000 12 DS 10 NAT011000 12 DSBH 20 aesthetics; ecocriticism; Robinson Jeffers; beauty 01 06 02 00 This book reviews the devastating impacts modernist avant-garde, Marxism, some feminisms and postmodernism have enacted – through paranoia, blame, cynicism – on beauty, hope and desire. 03 00 "The Forbidden Subject" launches from Ed Abbey’s affirmation in Desert Solitaire: ‘This is the most beautiful place on earth’. How could such a sentiment become construed as problematic, elitist, or worse? How was a calculated and intentional attack on beauty sustained for more than a century? How did beauty become, and why does it largely remain, what Emory Elliot dubbed ‘the forbidden subject’? This book reviews the devastating impacts modernist avant-garde, Marxism, some feminisms and postmodernism have enacted – through paranoia, blame, cynicism – on beauty, hope and desire. Oppositional epistemologies deliberately eviscerated the possibilities and standing of beauty in criticism as well as in lived experience. According to Myra Jehlen, the orthodox critic thus became ‘an adversary of the work he or she analyses’, tasked with undoing the aesthetic deception of what was read to ‘expose its misrepresentations and false ideals, to strip away the lie and expose the liar’. Tracing the war on natural beauty through the literary and visual arts, The Forbidden Subject asks what it has meant for the humanities, for problem solving environmental issues, for educating students, for our personal lives and, more recently, for ecocriticism.

Operating from 1946 to 1968, the AIA was an endeavour designed by the multimillionaire and politician Nelson Aldrich Rockefeller (1908-1979) to maintain the United States' influence on foreign policy through Latin America. With a major presence in Venezuela and Brazil, the AIA also conducted rural development programmes in Chile, Costa Rica, as well as studies of Trinidad & Tobago, Paraguay, Peru, China and India. With an unwavering faith in the principles of science and technology, the AIA exported experts who began their careers in reformist organisations during the New Deal and later expected to accommodate similar programmes in Latin America during and after WWII. By exploring previously unpublished primary sources, The Making of Modern Agriculture demonstrates the role of Latin American elites and governments in adapting and rejecting programmes of US origin. Based on numerous examples, the book demonstrates how the encounters and clashes between foreign experts, governments, and local technicians with affected populations resulted not only in the adaptation of exogenous projects, but, in a certain way, forced the AIA to rethink its strategies and formulate new models to be adopted later in other Southern Hemisphere countries. The book also demonstrates, from an approach mingling history of science, environment and international relations, how the encounters between experts, politicians, and rural populations rendered the notions of development and modernisation even more polysemic. Da Silva illustrates how, in addition to the notable Ford, Rockefeller and Carnegie foundations, agencies less known to academics played a differentiated and fundamental role in the geopolitics of Latin America and the United States. As the book demonstrates, the AIA is one of the fundamental references for the establishment of Harry Truman's Point Four and, among other legacies, influenced the formation of the largest agricultural extension service outside the United States, in Brazil. Finally, it contributes a historical perspective to current debates about how Latin America has become a paradoxical agricultural power, producing commodities for global markets even as environmental injustice is dramatically advancing. 30 00 The Making of Modern Agriculture addresses how an American philanthropic agency - the American International Association for Economic and Social Development (AIA) - influenced the course of agricultural development in Latin America during the Cold War.

All too often Afghans have been stereotyped for other people’s political purposes, but here you meet warm, clear-sighted individuals who can laugh at themselves and are kind, curious and wise about others. <break/>This book is published by the authors in association with The White Horse Press. 01 00 03 02 https://www.whpress.co.uk/publications/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/9781917813013.png 01 URL https://whpress.co.uk/ The White Horse Press 01 The White Horse Press 01 Publisher's website: home page https://www.whpress.co.uk/ 02 Publisher's website: webpage for this title https://www.whpress.co.uk/publications/2025/06/27/piruzai/ Winwick, Cambs. 04 01 20250630 Nancy Lindisfarne-Tapper and Richard Tapper 02 WORLD 06 15 9781917813006 03 9781917813006 WORLD 09 The White Horse Press 02 Publisher's website: webpage for this product https://www.whpress.co.uk/publications/2025/06/27/piruzai/ 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://www.whpress.co.uk/publications/2025/06/27/piruzai/ 20 08 20250630 01 urn:uuid:c3248587-0d73-44bf-8ce2-e702fbf53a4c 03 01 01 thoth-work-id urn:uuid:b1eb909b-d863-4655-917f-25bba6e3a0f7 01 thoth-publication-id urn:uuid:c3248587-0d73-44bf-8ce2-e702fbf53a4c 15 9781912186747 03 9781912186747 06 10.3197/63811987103618.book 00 BC 10 01 229 mm 01 22.9 cm 01 9.02 in 02 152 mm 02 15.2 cm 02 5.98 in Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International license (CC BY-NC-ND 4.0). 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ 01 01 The Return of Malthus Environmentalism and Post-war Population–Resource Crises 1 A01 21 0000000199103779 Björn-Ola Linnér Björn-Ola Linnér Swedish climate policy scholar and professor 40 05ynxx418 Linköping University Björn-Ola Linnér is a Swedish climate policy scholar and professor at Linköping University.

The focus is on Cadore, a supposedly peripheral area that was, in fact, at the core of the wood economy. The region comprises several valleys of the Eastern Italian Alps that constituted the main timber supply basin of Venice and other cities of the Veneto plain. With vivid and in-depth description of the role of forest resources for both local communities and state apparatus, the book sheds new light on key aspects of the nineteenth century agrarian world: the debate on wood shortage and the rise of scientific forestry; the social and environmental consequences of Napoleonic administrative reforms; the ambivalent relationship between privatisation of common lands and the restrictions imposed by state authorities on common and customary activities; the reorganisation of timber trade networks during the first steps of the industrial transition in continental Europe. Local socio-economic dynamics illuminate the interrelations between the macro and micro scales, showing how general transformations were perceived and experienced on the ground and how local actors were both subjects and agents of these events. 30 00 "The State in the Forest" uses a case study of conflict over use of wood – the principal source of energy and the primary raw material at the time – to offer an environmental history of the nineteenth century ‘great transformation’.

The focus is on Cadore, a supposedly peripheral area that was, in fact, at the core of the wood economy. The region comprises several valleys of the Eastern Italian Alps that constituted the main timber supply basin of Venice and other cities of the Veneto plain. With vivid and in-depth description of the role of forest resources for both local communities and state apparatus, the book sheds new light on key aspects of the nineteenth century agrarian world: the debate on wood shortage and the rise of scientific forestry; the social and environmental consequences of Napoleonic administrative reforms; the ambivalent relationship between privatisation of common lands and the restrictions imposed by state authorities on common and customary activities; the reorganisation of timber trade networks during the first steps of the industrial transition in continental Europe. Local socio-economic dynamics illuminate the interrelations between the macro and micro scales, showing how general transformations were perceived and experienced on the ground and how local actors were both subjects and agents of these events. 30 00 "The State in the Forest" uses a case study of conflict over use of wood – the principal source of energy and the primary raw material at the time – to offer an environmental history of the nineteenth century ‘great transformation’.

The environmental developments of the later Middle Ages, a period of relative stability, are explored before the story turns to a long era of war with the Ottoman Empire, during which the key to survival lay in finding adaptive forms of settlement and subsistence systems. Finally, the book chronicles the age of reconstruction following the Ottoman wars and the challenges posed as the country’s population more than doubled, a growth unmatched by agricultural or industrial development.

He studied contemporary environmental change and economic transformations as part of the deindustrialisation process in the eastern suburbs of Naples, through the lenses of urban planning, economic analysis and oral history. He has published essays on the subject of deindustrialisation in East Naples in Italian academic journals such as Meridiana.

A case study with worldwide resonance, the book offers East Naples as emblematic of the deep environmental changes wrought on peripheral areas by processes of energy transitions, economic development and urbanisation. It interrogates modernity’s distinctive global processes of industrialisation and deindustrialisation as enacted on an ancient natural landscape – Naples’ former threshold of coastal and marshy ecosystems, now buried in the sedimentary accumulation of concrete, fumes and toxic chemicals unleashed by industrial and urban development. Caruso interrogates the human choices, the material context and the different perceptions of nature, health or production that led to these changes; and his book turns an environmentally-focused perspective on two of modernity’s distinctive global processes: industrialisation and deindustrialisation. The volume reconstructs the discursive and physical factors that created the East Naples ‘swamp’, from the late eighteenth century to the present, through its transition from actual swamp to metaphorical, an ambiguous space characterised by chaos and disorder, hostility and risks, but also resistance, dignity and hope. It is a story both local and global, of ‘hygienist’ thought, urbanisation, industrialisation and deindustrialisation, ecological risk and attempted regeneration. 30 00 East Naples’ contemporary history is not special, or unique: its processes shaped a mostly grey suburb nestled in the immediate vicinity of the great southern city, sharing its limits and feeding its needs.

It takes as its starting point the United Nations environmental conference of 1992 in Rio de Janeiro, where the mountains were officially recognised as a topic of the world community. Important precedents for this new agenda were built in the early modern period and in the nineteenth century, as European societies began to exceed their traditional limitations. The book begins with an investigation of this long-term process with respect to science, culture and politics, each of which has transformed our attitudes toward mountainous regions. It then takes up historical problems that have been debated in the latest research, placing them in a comparative framework. At the book’s heart stands the question of whether and in what way the ‘three-dimensional history’ of mountain people may reveal distinctive forms of development. 30 00 A pioneering examination of the three-dimensionality of the Earth from the perspective of history and the humanities, this book considers the variegated world of mountains and their development during the last 500 years.

A primary aim of the volume is, through the presentation of research cases, to gather an appropriate methodological arsenal for the study of environmental history. Among its concerns are interdisciplinarity, eco-biography, the relationship of political and environmental history and culturally varied interpretations and appreciations of space – from Bangladesh to the Australian outback. The approaches of the indigenous peoples of Lapland, Mount Kilimanjaro and elsewhere to their environments are scrutinised in several chapters. Balancing survival – both in terms of resource exploitation and of response to natural catastrophes – and environmental protection is shown to be an issue for more and less developed societies, as illustrated by chapters on Sami reindeer herding, Sudanese cattle husbandry and flooding and water resource-use in several parts of Europe. As the title suggests, the volume exposes the lenses – tinted by culture and history – through which humans consider environments; and also foregrounds the importance of rigorous ‘thinking through’ of the lessons of environmental history and the challenges of the environmental future. 30 00 "Thinking through the Environment: Green Approaches to Global History" is a collection offering global perspectives on the intersections of mind and environment across a variety of discourses – from history and politics to the visual arts and architecture.

Skelton is Vice Chancellor’s Research Fellow in the Humanities at Northumbria University in Newcastle. Her work focuses on the two-way interactions between people and the environment, developments in environmental attitudes and regulation and how dramatic environmental change has shaped economic, cultural and social lives and livelihoods across northern England and Scotland between 1500 and the present day. Her first monograph was Sanitation in Urban Britain, 1560-1700 (London: Routledge, 2015). Between 2012 and 2015, she contributed to two of Prof. Peter Coates’ Arts and Humanities Research Council-funded environmental history research projects as a Research Assistant: ‘The Places that Speak to Us and the Publics we Talk with’ and ‘The Power and the Water: Reconnecting Pasts with Futures’. 01 eng 00 296 03 09 22 12 HBTB 10 HIS015000 12 HBJD1 10 NAT011000 10 NAT038000 12 RGB 12 RNK 12 1DBKEYN 12 3J 20 River Tyne; Northumberland; environmental history; water history; conservation 01 06 02 00 Over the last five centuries, North-East England’s River Tyne went largely with the flow as it rode with us on a rollercoaster from technologically limited early modern oligarchy, to large-scale Victorian ‘improvement’, to twentieth-century deoxygenation and twenty-first-century efforts to expand biodiversity.

Studying five centuries of Tyne conservatorship reveals that 1855 to 1972 was a blip on the graph of environmental concern, preceded and followed by more sustainable engagement and a fairer negotiation with the river’s forces and expressions as a whole and natural system, albeit driven by different motivations.

And it undermines traditional approaches to rivers as passive backdrops of human activities. Departing from narratives that equated change with improvement, or with loss and destruction, it moves away from morally loaded notions of better or worse, and even dead, rivers. The book fully situates the Tyne’s fluvial transformations within political, economic, cultural, social and intellectual contexts.

Where would they agree and disagree? How would they explain their conceptualisation of what the river is for and how it should be used and regulated? This book takes you to the heart of such virtual debates to revive, reconnect and reinvigorate the severed bonds and flows linking riparian places, issues and people across five centuries. 30 00 Over the last five centuries, North-East England’s River Tyne went largely with the flow as it rode with us on a rollercoaster from technologically limited early modern oligarchy, to large-scale Victorian ‘improvement’, to twentieth-century deoxygenation and twenty-first-century efforts to expand biodiversity.
