..". in this] well written book Knudsen delivers an intriguing
study about the meaning of the fish, the fishing activity as a way
of life, and the culture of the fishermen. His ability to explain
the culture and the life and hard work of Turkish fishers is
outstanding." . Environmental History
Through the ethnography and history of fish production, seafood
consumption, state modernizing policies and marine science, this
book analyzes the role of local knowledge in the management of
marine resources on the Eastern Black Sea coast of Turkey. Fishing,
science and other ways of knowing and relating to fish and the sea
are analyzed as particular ways of life conditioned by history,
ideology and daily practice. The approach adopted here allows for a
broader analysis of the role knowledge plays in the management of
common pool resources (CPR) than is provided in much of the
contemporary CPR debate that tends to have a somewhat narrow focus
on institutions and rules. By contrast, the author argues that also
local knowledge and the larger historical and ideological context
of production, as manifest in state modernization policies and
consumption patterns, should be taken into account when trying to
explain the current management regime in Turkish Black Sea
fisheries.
Stale Knudsen is Associate Professor at the Department of
Social Anthropology, University of Bergen. He has spent extended
periods doing fieldwork among Turkish Black Sea fishers. He is
currently leading a working group on the Black Sea as part of an
EU-funded project entitled "Knowledge-based Sustainable Management
for Europe's Seas.""
