License: Creative Commons Attribution Non-commercial No Derivatives Unless otherwise stated, copyright owned by the author Reading and Writing with a Tree: Practising ‘Nature Writing ’ as Enquiry Camilla Nelson Submitted on 10th August 2012 for the degree of PhD to be awarded by University of the Arts London in collaboration with University College Falmouth. ABSTRACT This thesis reframes, or reforms, ‘nature writing’ (‘Nature Writing Reformed’) through the practical and theoretical recombination of human, tree, and page. Understandings of ‘writing’, ‘nature’, and their phrasal relation in ‘nature writing’, are explored through a sustained enquiry into the reading and writing practices principally undertaken by the author (Camilla Nelson) in relation to one specific apple tree in the walled garden of University College Falmouth’s Tremough Campus, Cornwall. The central claim of this thesis is that composition is always environmentally constructive and constructed: how (the method with which) you read and write, and where (the environment in which) you read and write, i.e. the situation and materials you read and write with, affect not only the composition of the written text but the composition of the human, as well as the other-than- human, entities involved in this practice. This thesis is explicitly structured as an interweave of variously material (word; page; room; box; walled garden; library; studio; tree) and conceptual (word; page; theory; footnote; hyperlink; field of research) framing devices (and / or environments). The structure of this thesis and that of the orchard and studio installations, which together constitute the final PhD research submission, play on the variety of framing and reframing that occurs in relation to the spatio-temporal specifics of material and conceptual composition (as evidenced in the Media Log). This ‘reform’ of nature writing, as an interweave of human and other-than-human environments (or frames), is developed in relation to Mark Johnson’s expanded theory of ‘mind’ by way of the conceptual and material practice of metaphor (Johnson, 2007). This thesis combines the theories and practices derived from the (prinicipal) field of ‘Nature Writing’ (as defined in the correspondingly titled chapter), with those suggested by contemporary developments in cognitive philosophy, neuroscience, microbiology, systems theory, and translation studies. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Aspects of this research have been presented as part of informal academic papers within Dartington College of Arts, University College Falmouth and University of the Arts, London (2010-2012). More formal papers have been delivered under the following titles as part of national and international academic conferences: ‘Material Conservation: The Presence of ‘Nature’ in Literature’ as part of Literature and Conservation: Responsibilities: Trinity College, Dublin (2nd-4th September, 2011); ‘Reading & Writing with a Tree: An Enquiry into the Performance of ‘Nature Writing” as part of Emergent Environments: Where Next for the Humanities?; at Queen Mary’s University, London (9th & 10th September, 2011); ‘Reading and Writing with a Tree: Reading Embodied Experience & Embodied Reading Experience’ as part of Interfaces: encounters beyond the page/screen/stage at Exeter University (29th January, 2011); and ‘The Importance of Being There: A Discussion of Alec Finlay’s Mesostic Herbarium and Heidegger’s ‘Dasein’ as part of Cosmopoetics: Mediating a New World Poetics, Durham University (8th-10th September, 2010).

This research has been made possible by the assistance, either online or in person, of a great many people. Thanks go to Elizabeth-Jane Burnett, Emma Bush, Tom and Laurie Clark, Alec Finlay, Alyson Hallett, Jonathan Skinner, Johny Lamb, Marianne Morris, Eleanor Stevens, Christos Polymenakos, Katie Pamment, Natalia Eernstman, Annabel Banks, Gemma Anderson, and, in particular, Alex Metcalf, for their assistance with brain storming, information retrieval, and workshop development; and to David Garwood and all the gardening team on Tremough Campus for their continued assistance and advice on all things tree-related. This submission includes recordings (Apple Tree 2 & Apple Tree 3) of the apple tree at Tremough made by Alex Metcalf, using his Tree Listening device (2012); photographs, by Alyson Hallett, of the Geopoetics Brunch, Falmouth (January, 2010); and a video and photographs of the final VIVA exhibition by Natalia Eernstman.

Rather than attracting a small band of cinéastes, this celebration of the Chilean- FRED KLEISNER born, Paris-based filmmaker turned into a major event: not only did the screenings sell Treasurer out, but the maestro’s master class packed our seventh-floor event space to fire-code LINDA E.

And that’s not all, none other HOllY HOtcHNER than Debbie Harry introduced Jodorowsky’s most famous filmThe Holy Mountain to Director filmgoers, among whom were several downtown art stars, including Klaus Biesenbach, the director of MoMA PS1. A huge fan of this mystical renaissance man, Biesenbach was StaNLEY ARKIN DIEGO ARRIA so impressed by our series that beginning on May 22, MoMA PS1 will screen The Holy GEORGE BOURI Mountain continuously until June 30.

"WE ARE FAMILY"*: VALUING ASSOCIATIONALISM IN DISPUTES OVER CHILDREN'S SURNAMES MERLE H. WEINER** An increasingvolume of litigation has arisen between divorced or separated parents concerning the surnames of their minor children. For example, a newly divorced mother will sometimes petition the court to change her child's surnamefrom the surname of the absent father to the mother's birth surname or her remarried surname. Courts adjudicating such petitions usually apply one of three standards: a presumption favoring the status quo, a "best interest of the child" test, or a custodial parent presumption. In this Article, Professor Merle Weiner argues that all three of these standards are flawed-either in their express requirements or in their application by the courts-because they reflect men's conception of surnames and undervalue associationalistprinciples. After setting forth her feminist methodology, Professor Weiner explores the differences between men's and women's experiences with their own surnames.
