Martin White by Martin White, 28-Feb-11 04:33 AM GMT The Demise of Nottinghamshire’s Wildlife Heritage There is nothing wrong with Surreptitious Science; I practice it all the time. For example, if I release a butterfly species into a Nottinghamshire locality and if it is still there three generations later I consider this a successful introduction, if not, it’s a failure. This begs a one or two questions. How do I know the species was actually absent in the first place? Why three generations? Who determines the sites and the species involved? Why should I presume to know more than the experts? Why don’t I freely ofer my data for scientific scrutiny? Well the short answer to these questions is: - I’m completely satisfied with my own expertise, scientific scrutiny and personal methodology. On the other hand let us now take a serious look at similar surreptitious endeavours where the consequences are far from benign. In Nottinghamshire sites are ofcially determined for their wildlife value and some of these are then given “protected status” and called a Site of Interest for Nature Conservation or SINC. With very few exceptions the whereabouts of these SINCs and the science which determines them are kept secret. The reason given is supposedly to protect the sites from the public, yet apparently the determining criteria and species lists of the far more important SSSIs: - Sites of Special Scientific Interest are divulged with no obvious catastrophic results. The principal of SINC designation rests on a site having more than a critical number of axiophyte species.

Geographies of Belonging in the Nottinghamshire Coalfield: Affect, Temporality and Deindustrialisation
GEOGRAPHIES OF BELONGING IN THE NOTTINGHAMSHIRE COALFIELD: AFFECT, TEMPORALITY AND DEINDUSTRIALISATION Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Leicester by Jay Emery School of Geography, Geology and the Environment University of Leicester December 2018 Abstract This thesis investigates the affective-temporal processes of belonging among mining families in the Nottinghamshire coalfield, examining how affective histories and memories of deindustrialisation and the coal industry mediate belongings. Literatures on the post- industrial working-class have noted how processes of deindustrialisation and industrial ruination have dismantled previous formations of belonging based around work, community and place. Research has also highlighted ways that the past emerges and surfaces in the present to unsettle and disrupt contemporary belongings. Analysis prescribed around specific methods belies the relationalities of discursive, embodied and sensorial textualities and distorts from how the past in the present is lived. Further, fundamental to understanding and recognising the past in the present is an attentive reading of those pasts from an historical perspective. Relatedly, social scientists have identified how affective class histories transfer intergenerationally and dispose working-class bodies to industrial forms of life that no longer exist. I suggest that the relationalities between belonging and memory, lived experience and intergenerational transferences need to be understood as one affective-temporal process. Drawing on weak theory, Anderson’s ‘analytics of affect’ and the genealogical method, I propose a multi-modal methodology emphasising attunement to the embodied, reflexive and more-than-representational modes that the past emerges, as well as a nuanced tracing of place pasts. Through this methodological and analytical framework, I conceive the Nottinghamshire coalfield as a set of temporal and affective enfolded blendings conditioning the capacities of residents to belong and resist alienation.
