| Özet: | What is a forest and who has the right to talk about it? In environmental anthropology, particularly in forest anthropology, there is no unequivocal answer to this question. The author utilises ethnographic studies and an analysis of the processes of ‘institutionalising of nature’ in order to demonstrate that, in Polish forestry, the forest is not a granted and unchangeable category, but it is created as a result of the clash of actions and discourses, various temporalities, as well as non-human factors. The book describes the dynamic actions through which the forest, nature and environment become indispensable categories for the understanding of society. The result of this approach is an examination of six images of the forest, identified and described within the framework of contemporary Polish forestry. Instead of one definition of the forest, the reader is provided with a forest of visions, a forest of symbols. The book poses a challenge not only to the stereotypes of perceptions of the forest, the forester’s work and governmental supervision of natural resources, but it is predominantly an analysis of the transformations taking place in the contemporary perception and conceptualisation of the natural environment. Its aim is to explore this evolution in human-nature relations and contemporary transformations in the theoretical sense. |
