“…7-27. doi: 10.31840/sya.v0i20.1989 y la imaginación humanas proviene, en realidad, de ensamblajes heterogéneos de entidades humanas y no humanas. Es un mundo que emerge como real y temporalmente estable a partir de las practicas, esto es, a partir de la performación o la repetición cotidiana de los discursos y las acciones que dan lugar, tanto a la formación de los sujetos y la subjetividad, como a la producción material de los cuerpos, el espacio y la naturaleza (Barad, 2003;Crouch, 2004;Doody et al, 2014; Sepúlveda y Sundberg, 2017).…”

“…Los trabajos que dentro de la ecología política hacen uso del posthumanismo para explorar el papel de los no humanos en la dinámica sociopolítica son cada vez más frecuentes y se suman a un conjunto más amplio de trabajos que desde otras disciplinas se abocan al análisis de la agencia no humana (Coyle, 2006;Whatmore, 2006;Hobson, 2007;Kohn, 2007;Robbins, 2007;Goedeke y Rikoon, 2008;Dempsey, 2010;Sundberg, 2011;Collard, 2012;Notzke, 2013;Brice, 2014;Doody et al, 2014;Head et al, 2014;Head et al 2015;Fleming, 2017;Sepúlveda Luque, 2018). Entre estos trabajos, existe un pequeño número de publicaciones que se asumen como estudios de ecología política posthumanista y que abordan tanto discusiones teóricas como situaciones empíricas concretas (Escobar, 2010;Sundberg, 2011;Notzke, 2013;Chagani, 2014;Gudynas, 2014;Fleming, 2017;Sepúlveda y Sundberg, 2017;Schulz, 2017;Sepúlveda Luque, 2018).…”

En este trabajo describimos la emergencia y desarrollo de una nueva generación de estudios en ecología política conocida como ecología política posthumanista. A partir de una amplia revisión de literatura, trazamos sus principales influencias, sus temas centrales de análisis y las ventajas que aporta para comprender nuestra relación con el entorno, en un momento en el que es cada vez más difícil distinguir entre los dominios de lo social y lo natural. La ecología política posthumanista, hace uso de conceptos como ontología relacional, agencia más que humana y performación, útiles para superar definiciones limitadas de lo humano y asignar grados variables de agencia a lo no humano. El desarrollo de metodologías adecuadas es un reto importante en esta área, pero es necesario considerar que no se trata de mejorar nuestras representaciones de lo no humano, sino de experimentar el entorno de nuevas maneras. La ecología política posthumanista nos ofrece nuevas vías para pensar y explorar nuestros encuentros con lo no humano y, al mismo tiempo, para reflexionar sobre lo que, hoy en día, significa ser humanos.

“…On closer inspection there are plenty of birch seedlings growing, but far less of the heather and bilberry required to maintain the heath's specific characteristics. Volunteers work with the National Trust rangers to remove some of the birch seedlings, but weeding such a large area thoroughly would require far more than the three volunteers I met out and about with a ranger in February 2016, even weeding a suburban garden is an on-going job (Doody, Perkins, Sullivan, Meurk, & Stewart, 2014). At this point, there is no satisfactory ending to the story as the heathland plants will take a number of years to repopulate the site (National Trust, n.d.).…”

“…The National Trust enrol a particular 'social construction' (Castree, 2014) of the heathland as both a 'heritage' site and a site of ecological importance in order to strengthen its case for restoration (National Trust, 2014). Nature conservation, as it has evolved over the twentieth century is performative; it is performed by networks of people, animals, plants (Adams, 2016;Doody et al, 2014;Jones and Cloke, 2008;Moore, 2015). Whilst people can be unruly (Chester Chronicle, 2008) so too can animals and plants.…”

“…The vegetation on the hill has agency in shaping this site as do the grazing animals and the Iron Age hill population, whose presence is still felt in the rhetoric of an authentic landscape; although increasingly the intangible heritage of local knowledge around the traditional grazing rights and use of the land for collecting sand for household use and twigs for making brooms is disappearing (Curry-Roper, 2000;Rotherham, 2015). The heath is performed into being by the various actants in the story (Doody et al, 2014). But these performances alone are not enough to create the heath as a 'thing' that the National Trust can preserve.…”

Exploring ‘beyond‐food’ opportunities for biocultural conservation in urban forest gardens

Urban agroforestry efforts have focused primarily on food production, but these dynamic, multiple-strata systems can host a much broader set of functions. This exploratory synthesis describes opportunities and considerations for urban forest gardens' (UFG) capacity to include diverse, biologically important, and culturally relevant nontimber forest species that have medicinal properties, provide decorative and landscaping products, supply raw material for crafts, and other valuable outputs. Literature relevant to social and ecological aspects of design for 'beyond-food' specialty forest crops in urban forest gardens reveals a need for collaborative, participatory, and culturally relevant UFG decision making that addresses access inequities, potential contamination from urban pollutants, and a continued need for education and awareness of UFG multifunctionality. These production spaces can serve as both a biological and cultural repository for species that may be otherwise overlooked in a narrowly oriented food garden, though case study examples indicating contextual elements of implementation are needed to understand specific cultural and health sovereignty benefits. Currently, traditional tropical homegardens serve as a model for biocultural diversity in small-scale urban green spaces. Incorporating conservation goals into urban agroforestry initiatives at varying scales holds potential for growing interest in and commitment to building capacity for this emergent land use.Abbreviations: CIS, critical interpretive synthesis; NTFP, nontimber forest product; UFG, urban forest gardenThis is an open access article under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits use, distribution and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited.
