The Tsing reading prompted my reflection on the relationship between various meanings of “nature”: such as “human nature” – one’s disposition – or “Mother Nature” – the source of life and wild spaces. In addition, I am currently reading William Cronon’s <\/span>Uncommon Ground: Rethinking the Human Place in Nature<\/span><\/i> (1996) for my Environmental Humanities course and was excited to see mention of that author’s other work, <\/span>Nature’s Metropolis<\/span><\/i> in the Introduction. Such discussions of how \u201cfirst nature\u201d and \u201csecond nature\u201d are used to address ways of living and developing wild spaces; this provides a topical approach to modern challenges that are coming to the forefront in a time of global warming. Keeping with these topics, \u201cthird nature\u201d will be a unique concept for me to grapple with as an anthropology student with a focus on environmental topics. G<\/span>rowth of “natural” products in human-disturbed regions addresses questions raised in Matsutake research as well as confronting the role of political strain in global turmoil. Tracing ecological understanding across time will allow for a broader conception of the connection between human evolution, economy, and environment.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
