GGRB13H3 Lecture Notes - Lecture 10: Political Ecology, Donald Rumsfeld, Etiology
Document Summary
This week"s readings will not be on the exam, exclude it! Human/non-human geographies through 3 case studies: bees and the military industrial complex, mosquitos in 1942 cairo. How can mosquitos talk: cats in the desert in boundary enforcement practices. Felines such as lions, the role that they play. Questions you should be able to answer at the end of today"s class: There is a false binary of physical geography and human geography, they are actually inter-twined (not separate) Social geography is about people and place. Animals play a huge role in our lives, and yet, we"ve made humans the centre of the narrative. Unequal living conditions, social difference, and identity struggles. We don"t have any framework to discuss these issues in detail. Reclus: humanity emerges within nature rather than out of it . Think about the body as the geography closest in. Organizations made up of nonhuman actors that regulate, contain and enable the practices of bodies.
