Today, many European cities are still struggling to reinvent their development model in response to the effects of deindustrialization. It is in this context that nature, landscape and heritage are gaining more and more importance within leisure- and tourism-based urban models. This is the case for Cadiz, a small city in southern Spain where La Caleta, a small beach located downtown, has become one of the main tourist icons of the city. Due to its particular location, history and morphology, this small beach boasts a vast diversity of ichthyofauna, and is also an important local heritage site which functions customarily as one of the city’s most emblematic, active and dynamic open public spaces. Drawing from the results of an ongoing doctoral thesis, this presentation deals with the local fishermen‘s notion of nature in order to understand how they make sense of the symbolic and material reconstruction which the beach has undergone, and the position they’re assigned in the process. By doing so, I show how this discourse is influenced by urban conflicts derived from the adaptation process taken by the city on its transformation from an industrial- to a tourism-based development model.

Cultural ecology examines in a systematic way the interdependence between the environment, technology and the patterns of human behaviour. It employs methods typical of the social sciences in order to describe the processes of adaptation and the transformations of the given communities in the natural environment proper for them. Fully developed formulation of cultural ecology took place in Julian Steward’s book Theory of Culture Change (1955). The idea of cultural ecology initiated by Julian Steward has undergone a serious transformation and today it can hardly be called a uniform and coherent scientific concept. On the contrary, one can say that it attracts scientists representing a very wide spectrum of disciplines and who examine very diverse phenomena. The only thing they seem to have in common is the fact that all of them point to the connection between the technology used, the natural environment, and human behaviour. Cultural ecology is a still valid method of analysing old and new problems concerning the interdependence of small groups of people and the natural environment. It is particularly useful for examining the communities of hunter-gatherers, pastoralists, preindustrial cultivators as well as contemporary rural societies. It seems that this concept still has potential, which has not been fully employed yet. The best proof for the vitality of this idea is constant reflection concerning it and the successive attempts at improving it; together with the voices of constructive criticism they warrant that cultural ecology holds its place among several other approaches analysing the relationship between man and the natural environment.

Collecting sticker albums is part of growing up, learning, and having fun formany children in Southeast Europe from the mid-1950, when the first picture albums appeared, until today. Among the most famous examples are sticker albums with plant and animal themes analyzed from ecohumanities perspectives, i.e., the permeation of Nature and Culture. While most authors start from thecontent ( textual and visual analysis ), the author of this paper takes a completely different perspective. After the analysis, four major periods are visible ( the early 1970s, second half of the 1980s, second half of the 1990s and early 2000s and the period from 2013 to 2018 ) in which the increase in the number and quality of the mentioned albums correlates with a greater presence of green policies and politics.

In the article, I discuss the role of plants in Karolina Grzywnowicz’s Grün | Zielony [Green] project and point to their media nature as well as their inseparable connection with the local cultural history and bottom-up practices of memory of the residents of Breslau/ Wrocław. I look at the cultural biography of Wrocław plants from the perspective of cultural and environmental anthropology and analyse the various ways in which they co-create and sustain – due to their material belonging to a specific space and cyclic, heterotemporal rhythms of growing and dying back – the transcultural identity of the city, entering into the relationship both with the everyday experiences of the residents of Wrocław and with the historically changing, social relations of power. In this context, I also discuss the concept of “personal natural monuments” introduced by the artist and I reflect on its accuracy.

Artykuł dotyczy środowiskowych historii związanych z chojnicką Doliną Śmierci – miejscem kaźni z czasów II wojny światowej. Autorzy omawiają dotychczasowe historyczne oraz archeologiczne opracowania dotyczące dowodów niemieckich, masowych zbrodni dokonanych pod miastem, skupiając się na ich środowiskowym kontekście. Głównym założeniem jest pokazanie – w oparciu o wyniki etnograficznych badań terenowych – że Dolina Śmierci na przekór swej nazwie funkcjonuje w lokalnej pamięci jako miejsce pełne życia. Perspektywa antropologii środowiskowej umożliwia zidentyfikowanie naturalnych charakterystyk miejsc masowych mordów, które nie zostały ujęte w dotychczasowych badaniach historycznych i archeologicznych, a które są także istotne dla współczesnego oddolnego odczytania środowiskowej specyfiki powojennego krajobrazu Doliny Śmierci.

The article concerns the environmental histories of Death Valley, Chojnice, Poland, the execution site from the Second World War. The authors discuss the historical and archaeological evidence related to German mass crimes committed near the town during the war, especially in the environmental context of the killing sites. The main assumption is to show – based on an ethnographic field study – that Death Valley despite its designation, appears in local memory as a lively place. Through the lens of environmental anthropology, it is possible to identify those natural features of mass killing sites that not only have not yet been included in the mainstream of historical and archaeological research but also are essential to the present vernacular recognition of environmental specificity of Death Valley’s post-war landscape.

The main concern on this article is the reconstruction of the concept of the perception of the environment proposed by Tim Ingold, cultural anthropologist from Scotland. The first part of the article is the illustration of historical and theoretical background of the concept of perception of the environment where the basic theoretical assumptions of Tim Ingold’s environmental anthropology were introduced. The main points of the background knowledge are: the ecological approach to the visual perception of J. Gibson, the concept of Umwelt proposed by Jacob Johann von Uexküll, the dwelling perspective for environmental transformations of Martin Heidegger, the concepts of mind embodiment and extension. The reconstruction of the concept of perception of the environment is aimed at explication of three main ideas: the life in movement, dwelling perspective and new skill development. The second part of this article is focused on the applications of the concept of perception of the environment in two case studies: the forest perception and the ecological approach to the materials.

Głównym celem artykułu jest rekonstrukcja koncepcji percepcji środowiska w ujęciu Tima Ingolda, szkockiego antropologa kulturowego. W pierwszej części artykułu przedstawiono historyczny i teoretyczny kontekst ujęcia percepcji środowiska oraz dokonano rekonstrukcji podstawowych założeń teoretycznych antropologii środowiska w ujęciu T. Ingolda. Najważniejszymi elementami tego kontekstu są m.in.: ekologiczna koncepcja percepcji J. Gibsona, koncepcja Umweltu Jakoba Johanna von Uexkülla, idee przekształcania i zamieszkiwania środowiska wg. Heideggera, koncepcje ucieleśnionego poznania i umysłu rozszerzonego. Rekonstrukcja koncepcji percepcji środowiska jest skoncentrowana na eksplikacji trzech głównych idei: życie w ruchu, zamieszkanie oraz kształtowanie umiejętności. W części drugiej artykułu przedstawiono aplikację koncepcji percepcji środowiska do studium przypadku: percepcja lasu i ekologiczne podejście do materiału.

Environmental anthropology is a much wider term than ecology itself because of its extensive and diverse issues. The environmental questions appeared significantly in anthropology in the 1950 s with the Julian Stewards cultural ecology. Later Andrew Vayda and Roy Rappaport suggested the term known as ecosystem ecology. From the late 1970s, evolutionary ecology has become more popular. The other attempts to the issues of the natural environment within the confines of anthropology are ethnoecology, historic ecology, global ecology, and landscape ecology. The article presents environmental anthropology depicted by P. K. Townsed.

This article looks at the state/forest relationship and how and when the state creates discourses about the forest to serve its current objectives and policies. It is a case study of the Polish state and its approach to forest restoration practices. Looking at past actions since 1918 through which the Polish state has restored the forest, the text traces the discursive practices of forest nationalisation. Combining historical perspectives with contemporary discussions of forest restoration within the European Union and global institutions, the text offers an analysis of the power relations inscribed and embodied in nature management activities. The text touches upon a broader reflection on nature management and the power relations inscribed and embodied within it and examines how “the environment” and environmental issues have been constructed as domains requiring state regulation and protection. Focusing on planting rather than deforestation, the article describes the use of environmental governance policy tools to maintain power over discursive and material actions in relation to the landscape by states and/or international institutions. This article is framed within environmental politics, combined with environmental history and anthropology.

Artykuł dotyczy relacji państwo – las i tego, jak i kiedy państwo tworzy dyskursy na temat lasu, tak aby służyły jego bieżącym celom i aktualnej polityce. Jest to studium przypadku państwa polskiego i jego podejścia do praktyk odnawiania lasów (ang. forest restoration). Przyglądając się minionym działaniom od roku 1918, za pomocą których polskie państwo odtwarzało las, tekst śledzi praktyki dyskursywnej nacjonalizacji lasów. Łącząc perspektywę historyczną ze współczesnymi dyskusjami na temat odnowy ekosystemów leśnych w ramach Unii Europejskiej i globalnych agend, tekst proponuje refleksję na temat relacji władzy wpisanych i ucieleśnianych przez działania związane z zarządzaniem przyrodą. Tekst dotyka szerszej refleksji na temat zarządzania przyrodą i wpisanych w nie relacje władzy, a także analizuje to, jak „środowisko” i kwestie dotyczące środowiska skonstruowane zostały jako dziedziny wymagające regulacji i ochrony państwa. Artykuł, skupiając się na sadzeniu, a nie na wycinaniu lasów, opisuje zastosowanie narzędzi polityki zarządzania środowiskiem w celu utrzymania władzy nad dyskursywnymi i materialnymi działaniami w odniesieniu do krajobrazu przez państwa i/lub międzynarodowe agendy. Ramą spinającą refleksje tego eseju jest polityka ekologiczna połączona z historią i antropologią środowiskową.
