Knowledge on nature and natures of the wild. What implications for conservation apparatuses?

Résumé

Since the 1990s, the multiple critiques of the patrimonial approach to conservation, based on a vision of nature as a-historical and untamed by human disturbance, have been accompanied by theoretical efforts to move beyond a series of dualistic categories of thought shaping collective relations to nature in Western environmentalist traditions. As part of the 'hybrid turn' in Anglophone human geography in particular (Driessen, 2017), research has sought to rethink and reinvest the notion of the 'wild' - that is, the otherness, agency and recalcitrance of living nonhumans - in the knowledge and practice of nature conservation. These conceptual efforts on the wild aim at making sense of the ecological and dynamic processes of the living, while adopting a critical and reflexive approach to environmental knowledge, following political ecology and more-than-human geographies. Based on an in-depth bibliographic work, we propose to explore how more-than-human approaches articulate knowledge about nature and visions of the wild in conservation by focusing on three dimensions: spatial, temporal, and technoscientific. Our demonstration will be illustrated by debating the work of J. Lorimer with V. Maris as a counterpoint, which sheds light on how their approaches placed in their respective intellectual universes contribute to debates on the Anthropocene (Lorimer, 2015; Maris, 2018). We thus wish to analyse the epistemological and political discussions generated by the affirmation of hybridity and its articulation with the question of the wild within the framework of recent developments in the human geography of nature in relation to the reconfiguration of contemporary dispositifs through which nature is known and governed (Mansfield and Doyle, 2017; Granjou, 2016).
