The documentation used includes geographical and ecological\u0000manuscripts together with ancient sources (texts, archaeology). Our\u0000results demonstrate an overlapping that remarks the importance of wetlands\u0000in the study area’s territorial ordering during various historical moments. This\u0000result also opens the possibility of applying this reality to others parts of the\u0000Mediterranean region with the same climatological conditions and a similar\u0000history.

This article, informed by theories of political agonism, suggests\u0000that this paradox importantly provokes ongoing political contestation of the\u0000inevitable yet contingent exclusions from politics and the proper place of\u0000political boundaries in the Anthropocene.

The background to this question\u0000is that many scholars consider environmental expertise crucial for discovering,\u0000diagnosing, and solving environmental problems but do not discuss in\u0000any depth what constitutes expertise. By investigating the meaning and use\u0000of the concept of expertise in three general theories within environmental\u0000sociology—the treadmill of production, risk society, and ecological modernization—\u0000and findings from science and technology studies (STS), this article\u0000develops a sociological understanding of environmental expertise: what it\u0000is and how it is acquired. Environmental expertise is namely about group\u0000belonging and professional socialization around specialized skills; that is,\u0000it concerns both substantial competence and social recognition. The implications\u0000of this general view on expertise are then used to enrich theories in\u0000environmental sociology.","PeriodicalId":46069,"journal":{"name":"Nature + Culture","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2018-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.3167/NC.2018.130301","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46969129","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

But there are other ways of understanding people’s narratives. This article explores how we can move away from understanding stories as cultural constructs that represent a reality and toward understanding them as the way in which adaptation is lived. The article investigates questions such as the following: As climate adaptation researchers, what can and should we do when we are told unsolicited stories? How can storytelling, as a way of life rather than as a source of data, inform and elaborate scientific approaches to adaptation research and planning? In this article, I move away from the literature that seeks to develop narrative methods in adaptation science. Instead, I focus on stories that we do not elicit and the world-making practice of storytelling.","PeriodicalId":46069,"journal":{"name":"Nature + Culture","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2018-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.3167/NC.2018.130302","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43245821","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article offers an explicitly historical, nondirectional conceptualization\u0000of our potential evolutionary pathways in response to climate\u0000change. Emotions emerge from the intersection of culture and biology to\u0000guide the degree of variation of knowledge to which we have access, the\u0000selection of knowledge, and the retention of that knowledge in new (or old)\u0000practices. I delve into multiple fields of scholarship on emotions, describing\u0000several important considerations for understanding social responses to climate\u0000change: emotions are shared, play a central role in decision-making,\u0000and simultaneously derive from past evolutionary processes and define future\u0000evolutionary processes.","PeriodicalId":46069,"journal":{"name":"Nature + Culture","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2018-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.3167/nc.2018.130304","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44137580","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
