Trees Are Shape Shifters: How Cultivation, Climate Change, and Disaster Create Landscapes - Yale Agrarian Studies Series
Andrew S. Mathews
In Italy and around the Mediterranean, almost every stone, every tree and every hillside show traces of human activities. Situating climate change within the context of the Anthropocene, Andrew Mathews explores how people in Lucca, Italy, make sense of social and environmental change by caring for the morphologies of trees and landscapes. He analyzes how people encounter climate change, not by thinking and talking about climate, but by caring for the environments around them. Maintaining landscape stability by caring for the forms of trees, rivers, and hillsides is a way that people link their experiences to the past and to larger scale political questions. The human-transformed landscapes of Italy are a harbinger of the experiences that all of us are likely to face, and addressing these disasters will call upon all of us to think about the human and natural histories of the landscapes we live in.
