“…In addition to the neoliberal belief that individuals were responsible for maintaining their own health ( Hathaway, 2014 ; Miller, 2016 ), individualization emerged in our interviews through discussions of personal cost-benefit analysis. Beneath collective acts of compliance with strict pandemic control measures lay individuals calculating whether health and financial gains for themselves and their families outweighed the costs and sacrifices associated with compliance.…”

“…Our argument builds on earlier work on matsutake worlds that our group members have published and that are now in progress. This collection is a companion piece to a larger body of work (Faier 2011;Hathaway 2014Hathaway , 2015Hathaway , 2016MWRG 2009aMWRG , 2009bSatsuka 2011;Tsing 2009Tsing , 2011Tsing , 2012Tsing , 2015Tsing and Satsuka 2008). Our first publications considered the possibilities that collaborative research offers for multi-sited ethnographic projects.…”

In this special issue, we draw on our collaborative research as the Matsutake Worlds Research Group to explore the world-making dynamics of multispecies encounters. We center our exploration on matsutake, a gourmet mushroom eaten primarily in Japan. Drawing on cases from around the world, we suggest that the cosmopolitan worlds of matsutake cannot be accounted for by any single agent or individual set of cultural or political economic processes. Rather, we propose that contingent multispecies attunements and coordinations knit together the various world-making processes that allow matsutake to flourish. We use the notion of ‘elusiveness’ to capture these shifting dynamics of attraction, coordination, and elusion.

“…The term neoliberal conservation has become pervasive in scholarship on parks and people. But just as contradiction and ambiguity bedevil broader discussions of neoliberalism (Bakker, 2010;Kingfisher and Maskovsky, 2008), gaps and imprecisions in presentations of neoliberal conservation weaken the concept's usefulness as an explanatory tool (Bakker, 2010;Hathaway, 2014). Central among these is that neoliberal conservation's commodifications depend on landscapes being withheld from commodification.…”

Tourism dynamos: Selective commodification and developmental conservation in China’s protected areas

At scenic sites across China, rural officials compelled to maximize revenue use local state authority over protected areas to foster "tourism dynamos". Local states set up infrastructure and institutions around rural attractions that channel the circulation of tourists, churning out revenues that meet quotas and fund further expansion of attractions and towns. To make these dynamos turn, local authorities have displaced resident-led tourism operations they had previously helped set up. Residents are reincorporated in varying ways and often retain land use rights. Meanwhile, as revenues stream out of attractions, what little is invested in environmental protection goes to maintaining scenery. Local governments also accomplish spatial transformations, within each park intensifying surplus generation in areas zoned for tourism while reserving other areas from use, and beyond park boundaries linking attractions together on tourism circuits radiating from central towns. This state-driven transformations depend on how the reservation of land from commodity exchange within protected areas comes together with specific state capacities to enable tourism intensification. These processes, which I label "developmental conservation," call attention to selective commodifications and the mediating role of the state in protected area governance in China and beyond.
