Working with Nature in Aotearoa New Zealand: An Ethnography of Coastal Protection (Kultur Und Soziale Praxis)

Friederike Gesing

4.9/5 (26267 ratings)

Description:This rich ethnography analyses coastal protection as a sociomaterial practice. Coastal protection, Friederike Gesing argues, coproduces natural and cultural orders. In the context of the Aotearoa New Zealand coast, it follows the emergence of a new sociotechnical imaginary: coastal management working -with nature- - and not against it. The analysis of a seawall controversy and of different coastal protection projects shows how -soft- protection slowly takes hold. Dune restoration volunteers, coastal management experts, surfer-scientists, and Maori conservationists engage in different practices of making coastal naturecultures: dune restoration as do-it-yourself erosion control, reconstructing native nature, or soft engineering -in concert with natural processes-."We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
