Theorizing Outdoor Recreation and Ecology

Více o knize

The book delves into the paradoxes of outdoor recreation, contrasting the ecological impacts of moose and hikers. It critiques traditional views of nature and explores the implications of minimum impact strategies on user freedom. Drawing on theories from Foucault, Derrida, and Latour, the author presents a new framework that challenges the notion of humans as purely natural or unnatural. Instead, it advocates for an understanding that accepts human traces within nature, promoting a more nuanced ecological perspective.
