Présentation
How has the natural world been valued, and how have different types of engagement with nature and the environment been valued?
Previous studies have focused largely on the intellectual history of the natural sciences, and how concepts like 'the environment' and 'biodiversity' were defined by scholars before trickling down to various publics. By contrast, Valuing Nature adopts a bottom-up approach. Focusing on France, Britain and their empires, we consider how practical engagement with plants, animals, landscapes, seascapes, natural materials and climate have been crucial to changing understandings and valuations of the natural world. We centre on everyday engagements with nature, whether by taxidermists, craftsmen, educators, amateur botanists, western or Indigenous people. Our aim is to broaden understandings of the actors involved in the growth of environmental consciousness, while thinking about how different skills and forms of knowledge have been variously valued, shaping epistemological hierarchies to this day.
