Participants&Abstracts « Nature and Nation
States, both under democratic and totalitarian rule, have attempted to simplify, as to make more legible and manageable, both the landscapes and the systems of relationships, construed over centuries of settlement, that human communities had with these natural environments.
A variety of scholars, not only specialists in environmental history, but also political, cultural and social historians, historical geographers and historical anthropologists with an interest in nationalism, nature perception and/or symbolic politics will present papers on this topic at the 2nd international workshop of the Nature&Nation network - State of Nature
Bucharest, Romania, 02-04 December 2011.
