Using Argentina and Slovenia as examples and drawing on theories of place, practice, and nation, Jessica Balling demonstrates how nature (and nature conservation) serves as an anchor for national identities; how the staging of cultural heritage encompasses both remembrance and forgetting in nation-building; how a socio-ecological understanding of nature conservation fosters a hybrid conception of nationhood; and what role animals and plants play in this process. In doing so, she offers an innovative cultural and political-geographical perspective on national parks that is relevant far beyond disciplinary boundaries.&#8220;<\/p>\n<p>We are delighted to see her interesting study in form of a monograph and congratulate Jessica!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jessica Balling, fellow of the 1st cohort and now researcher at the Working Group &#8222;Glokale Entwicklung und Nachhaltigkeitsforschung&#8220; at the University of Innsbruck, published her dissertation on &#8222;Nationalpark und Nation.\u00a0Sozial-r\u00e4umliche Aushandlungen durch Naturschutz und Kulturerbe in Argentinien und Slowenien&#8220; with transcript. &nbsp; This is the blurb of her book: &#8222;National parks are far more than [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":15,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[38],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3066","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.0 -
