Nature Performed Zusammenfassung

Nature Performed: Environment, Culture and Performance Bronislaw Szerszynski

This book brings together contributions from scholars across the humanities. A wide-ranging exploration of the interface between performance and nature. Examines the use and usefulness of ideas of `performance' for understanding human-nature relationships. Draws on different disciplines and intellectual traditions and on different conceptions of `performance' and `nature'. Contributions are rooted in real-world contexts and problems, explored through detailed ethnographic work. Explores domains as diverse as allotments and bioinvasion, fox hunting and green politics. Makes a distinctive contribution to the `cultural turn' in environmental research.

Nature Performed Bewertungen

A testimonial to the passions, responsibilities and creative activism currently being enacted in areas of environmental concern...the book overall makes an important contribution, with many strong and interesting chapters, and should have appeal across a wide range of audiences. Environmental Values, vol 14/4

In more ways than one, this book challenges us to use our imaginations. Cultural Geographies
