Organizing Nature explores how the environment is organized in
Canada’s resource-dependent economy. The book examines how
particular ecosystem components come to be understood as natural
resources and how these resources in turn are used to organize life
in Canada. In tracing transitions from "ecosystem component" to
"resource," this book weaves together the roles that
commodification, Indigenous dispossession, and especially a false
nature-society binary play in facilitating the conceptual and
material construction of resources. Alice Cohen and Andrew Biro
present an alternative to this false nature-society binary: one
that sees Canadians and their environments in a constant process of
making and remaking each other. Through a series of case studies
focused on specific resources – fish, forests, carbon, water,
land, and life – the book explores six channels through which
this remaking occurs: governments, communities, built environments,
culture and ideas, economies, and bodies and identities.
Ultimately, Organizing Nature encourages readers to think
critically about what is at stake when Canadians (re)produce myths
about the false separation between Canadian peoples and their
environments.
