How to Make A Wetland tells the story of two Turkish coastal areas,
both shaped by ecological change and political uncertainty. On the
Black Sea coast and the shores of the Aegean, farmers, scientists,
fishermen, and families grapple with livelihoods in transition, as
their environment is bound up in national and international
conservation projects. Bridges and drainage canals, apartment
buildings and highways—as well as the birds, water buffalo, and
various animals of the regions—all inform a moral ecology in the
making. Drawing on six years of fieldwork in wetlands and deltas,
Caterina Scaramelli offers an anthropological understanding of
sweeping environmental and infrastructural change, and the moral
claims made on livability and materiality in Turkey, and beyond.
Beginning from a moral ecological position, she takes into account
the notion that politics is not simply projected onto animals,
plants, soil, water, sediments, rocks, and other non-human beings
and materials. Rather, people make politics through them. With this
book, she highlights the aspirations, moral relations, and care
practices in constant play in contestations and alliances over
environmental change.
