Not one of these works can be understood unless we read the two others, but of the three the only trustworthy one is the last.” – Ruskin Kenneth Clark: “The Craftsmen Who Saved Civilization” From Civilisation: A Personal View (1969) People sometimes tell me they prefer barbarism to civilization. I doubt if they have given it a long enough trial. Like the people of Alexandria they are bored by civilisation; but all the evidence suggests that the boredom of barbarism is infinitely greater. Quite apart from discomforts and privations, there was no escape from it. Very restricted company, no books, no light after dark, no hope. On one side of the sea battering away, on the other the infinite stretches of the bog and the forest. A most melancholy existence, and the Anglo- Saxon poets had no illusions about it: A wise man may grasp how ghastly it shall be When all this world’s wealth standeth waste Even as now, in many places over the earth, Walls stand windbeaten, Heavy with hoar frost; ruined habitations… The maker of men has so marred this dwelling That human laughter is not heard about it, And idle stand these old giant works.
  • Legitimacy on Stage: Discourse and Knowledge in Environmental Review Processes in Northern Canada

    Legitimacy on Stage: Discourse and Knowledge in Environmental Review Processes in Northern Canada

    Thea Luig: Legitimacy on stage: Discourse and knowledge in environmental review processes in Northern Canada Legitimacy on stage: Discourse and knowledge in environmental review processes in Northern Canada Thea Luig University of Alberta, [email protected] Abstract Based on ethnographic fieldwork, this paper investigates the interplay of discourse and knowledge within a context of structural power during public hearings for the environmental review of a proposed pipeline project in Canada. Despite much improved provision for Aboriginal participation in political and economic decision-making, negotiations between the Canadian government and northern Aboriginal people are often described as frustrating and unsatisfying by individuals involved in them. Analyzing formal procedures of the hearing process as well as interview data, I argue that legal adaptations and participatory processes are wrapped in a discourse conforming with international demands to respect Indigenous rights, but, in fact, are orchestrated in a way that favours the alliance of the state, corporations, and administrative professionals, thus ruling out effective influence on the part of local Indigenous people. Northern Aboriginal groups respond to these challenges by utilising discourses from international human rights and environmental movements as a tool to legitimise land-claim and self-governance demands, thereby attempting to trans- form articulations of identity into political and economic capital. As I will show, although the public discourse of the different agents involved is framed in symbolism that suggests mutual understanding and aims to generate support from the wider public, modes of kno- wledge production anchored in science/technology versus primary experience continue to de-legitimise one another, therefore precluding an efficient dialogue.
