“…The importance of ritual is undeniable in such a process of restoration. If what is aimed at is a renovated relationship with a meaningful place (a "legible landscape", to use Martin Drenthen's term; 2 see Drenthen 2009Drenthen , 2011Drenthen , 2018, then this goes through a series of ritualized steps that are themselves part of the creation of membership within a given locality. By 'ritual' I do not mean just the habitual repetition of a series of procedures, but rather that kind of habitual repetition that illuminates aspects of the world that are not directly tied to the acts being repeated.…”

Brussel and the Evaluating Democratic Politics in Europe (EDGE) Research Program. All have provided indispensable funding for seeing this project through. Mariana și Doru au lăsat mai multe urme decât se pot număra. Darurile lor nu se răsplătesc; se dau mai departe. Parts of this work have appeared in other forms before. Chapter 3 draws in part on the article 'Evocative Representation' published in Constellations (2020). Chapters 4 and 6 draw on 'Responsibility and the Ethics of Ecological Restoration ', Environmental Philosophy (2017).One of the central ideas of this book is that we all inherit, obliquely and largely unpredictably, practices and knowledge from varied and surprising sources. I therefore acknowledge my unpayable debt to ancestors living and spectral, human and non-human. They are the soil that nurture present and future life.

“…There are some encouraging signs along these lines. Intergenerational ethics has broadened beyond knotty puzzles such as the nonidentity problem that preoccupied the field for so long (see, e.g., De‐Shalit 1995; Thompson 2009; Gardiner 2011; Habib 2013; Almassi 2017; Nolt 2017; Fritsch 2018; Droz 2019); environmental ethicists are finding ways to consider the value of the past without idealizing it (see, e.g., Holland 2011; Palmer 2011; Hourdequin and Havlick 2016; Drenthen 2018); and scholars are articulating possibilities for constructive engagement with animals, plants, and the broader world as well as conceptions of sustainability that aim to “maintain and sustain the fullness of health [needed] for us to thrive, and for everything else to thrive” (Armstrong 2007).…”

Environmental ethics, as an academic field, was born out of professional philosophers' frustrations with anthropocentrism. In particular, philosophers such as Richard Sylvan and Holmes Rolston III found that canonical Western philosophy overlooked important questions regarding human relations to nonhuman animals and the broader world. Because many other traditions attend more closely to these relations, it is helpful to contextualize the initial development of academic environmental ethics as a critical response to a particular kind of deficiency characteristic of the Western tradition. In recent decades, the field has grown and broadened, and a more pluralistic, interdisciplinary, intercultural, and intersectional environmental ethics is emerging. This article traces developments in the field of environmental ethics during the last fifty years, beginning with discussions of the value of nature, deep ecology, the land ethic, environmental virtue ethics, and environmental pragmatism. Next, I turn to approaches that integrate social and environmental concerns through lenses that consider power dynamics and challenge relations of domination and oppression, bringing into focus questions of environmental and ecological justice. The final section considers some of the distinctive challenges associated with what some have dubbed "the Anthropocene," noting that the nature and designation of this epoch remain contested.

“…Tensions between rewilding and heritage landscapes -questions of who and what belongs, and related narratives of identity and place -rest on dubious claims of prior occupation, appropriate baselines, and unresolved debates over land use and environmental impacts in the region (cf. Soulé and Noss, 1998;Drenthen, 2018). Although the wolf question is often conceptualized as part of a contested transition from "Old" to "New West" (Nie, 2003;Clark et al, 2005), this fails to account for patterns and persistence of conflict in the more than two decades since reintroduction.…”

Revisiting and revitalizing political ecology in the American West

et al. 2019

Political ecology, initially conceived to better understand the power relations implicit in management and distribution of natural resources in the developing world, came "home" to the American West in the 1990s and 2000s. This groundswell of research did much to problematize socio-environmental conflicts in the region, long typified by tensions over land and resources, identity and belonging, autonomy and authority. Since first touching down in the West, however, the "big tent" of political ecology has only grown bigger, incorporating new perspectives, epistemologies, and ontologies. At the same time, the nexus of environment and society is perhaps even more salient today, amid a regional conjuncture of populist revolt, climate change, and rapid political economic transformation. Here we reflect on three longstanding regional concerns-energy development, wolf reintroduction, and participatory governance-leveraging the pluralism of contemporary political ecology to better understand their contemporary incarnations. In so doing, we highlight the need to bring together insights from both "traditional" approaches and newer directions to better understand and engage contemporary challenges, with their heightened stakes and complexity. Such an approach demonstrates what we might learn about global processes in this place, as well as what insights regional praxis (often woefully provincial) might gain from elsewhere-new ways of seeing and doing political ecology. Our goal is to generate discussion among and between political ecologists and regional critical scholars, initiating new collaborative engagements that might serve the next wave of political ecology in the 21st century American West.
