Personal experiences also help a researcher imagine and enter into the milieux of historical events and development trends. However, being with the environment is just a basic step. Being able to think history through the environment requires much more: profound knowledge of the human–environment relationship and dedication to applying this expertise to historical research. Environmental histori- ans have developed various approaches to tackle this issue. To become acquainted and communicate with scholars who have elaborated new ways of comprehending interactions with the environment of the past has been a great expedition. The path from idea to final product is generally long and this book is no exception. It has gone through a complex process of gestation. The volume contains a selection of articles made from numerous submissions received; we are thank- ful for all of these. Manuscripts were chosen and reviewed by the editorial board, comprising Pertti Grönholm, Laura Hollsten, Jaro Julkunen, Aino Laine and Timo Myllyntaus. On the basis of comments made at this stage, some authors thoroughly revised their papers and considerably deepened their analyses. The editorial board has been very pleased with the cooperation of the authors. We are grateful to acknowledge the financial support for international re- search in environmental history provided by the Academy of Finland, the Ministry of the Environment, the Nessling Foundation, the Oskar Öflund Foundation, the Letterstedtska Society, the Åbo Akademi Foundation, the City of Turku, the Port of Turku, the Turku Historical Society, the newspaper Turun Sanomat and the Turku University Foundation. All associated with producing this collection fervently trust that it will make constructive contributions to discussion of the past and future of our environment.

    Trees, Knots, and Outriggers Studies in Environmental Anthropology and Ethnobiology General Editor: Roy Ellen, FBA Professor of Anthropology, University of Kent at Canterbury Interest in environmental anthropology has grown steadily in recent years, refl ecting na- tional and international concern about the environment and developing research priorities. This major new international series, which continues a series fi rst published by Harwood and Routledge, is a vehicle for publishing up-to-date monographs and edited works on particular issues, themes, places or peoples which focus on the interrelationship between society, culture and environment. Relevant areas include human ecology, the perception and representation of the environment, ethno-ecological knowledge, the human dimension of biodiversity conservation and the ethnography of environmental problems. While the un- derlying ethos of the series will be anthropological, the approach is interdisciplinary.

  • References to Iconic Landscapes in the Debate Surrounding the Founding of Finland’S National Parks, Circa 1880–1910
    INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL FOR HISTORY, CULTURE AND MODERNITY www.history-culture-modernity.org Published by: Uopen Journals Copyright: © The Author(s). Content is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Licence eISSN: 2213-0624 References to Iconic Landscapes in the Debate Surrounding the Founding of Finland’s National Parks, circa 1880–1910 Juho Niemelä and Esa Ruuskanen HCM 7: 741–764 DOI: 10.18352/hcm.579 Abstract This article reviews the formation of the idea of national parks in Finland between the 1880s and 1910s. It argues that both the term and the concept of national park evolved in a long-lasting deliberative pro- cess between competing definitions. The main actors in this process were geographers, forestry scientists and NGOs devoted to popular edu- cation and the promotion of tourism. As a result of the debates, iconic landscapes and species were located in Finnish nature inside the wholly artificial boundaries of the national parks. Eventually, both the science and tourism poles of the decades-long debate were incorporated into the plans and visions for Finland’s national parks in the early twentieth century. The national park debate between the 1880s and 1910s focused mainly on landscapes, land formations and vegetation zones, and not so much on the wildlife or indeed the people who lived inside these areas. Keywords: environmental history, environmental values, Finland, Lapland, national parks, nature conservation Introduction In 1938, Finland finally established its first national parks in the fells of Pallas-Yllästunturi and Pyhätunturi in Lapland; in the Heinäsaaret Islands off the north-east coast of Petsamo; and on Stora Träskö Island HCM 2019, VOL.

  • Raymond Williams and the Structure of Feeling of Reality TV
    International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Vol. 2 No. 7; April 2012 Raymond Williams and the Structure of Feeling of Reality TV Beverley Best Assistant Professor Department of Sociology and Anthropology Concordia University Montreal, QC, Canada. Introduction There is some general truth to the narrative that cultural studies moved away from its fraught, yet productive, entanglement with Marxist critique in the 1980s, never again to seriously rekindle that engagement. The trajectory of the work of Raymond Williams, however, moves in the opposite direction to much of that field of inquiry of which Williams is often identified as a founder. I will argue, for instance, that on the question of method, the work of Raymond Williams is increasingly influenced by debates in Marxist cultural theory. More so, the question of method itself, and in particular the problematic of mediation, both become central concerns for Williams— fundamental theoretical occupations which he shared with the Western Marxists, such as Theodor Adorno, Max Horkheimer, and Walter Benjamin. The increasing centrality of the problematic of mediation, in its various guises—the dynamics of materialist critique, the relation between structure and agency, the question of determination, and even the movement of the dialectic—in Williams‟ later work, reflects a deepening engagement with traditional Marxist categories while never claiming a simple identity with Marxist critique. The deepening engagement with traditional Marxist categories signals both a continuity and a rupture within the trajectory of Williams‟ analytical method over his career: for instance, the approach which Williams first calls “cultural materialism” evolves into an approach which in his later work he comes to refer to as the “sociology of culture.” My goal in this chapter is to sketch the movement of the critical method which Williams calls the sociology of culture and why the question of mediation is a central dimension of it.
