Abstract:
In recent years people from a range of disciplines and societal backgrounds
have joined discussions and practices of coral protection and
rehabilitation. The precarious state of coral reefs is becoming a matter of
concern not only to natural scientists and conservationists but also
anthropologists, artists, fishers, and entrepreneurs, among others.
Increasingly, inter- and transdisciplinary alliances are built to aim for
forms of coral care that is effective, socially just and receptive to
diverse ways of knowing and relating to corals. As a consequence, coral
protection and rehabilitation programs bring together different ways in
which people know, define, value and imagine corals and care. How can we
understand and make sense of such complexity? How may alliances be built
that allow for dialogues on how to care for corals in collaboration? The
social sciences could engage theoretically and empirically with concepts,
theories, methods and storytelling helping to establish dialogues across
difference.
Taking inspiration from recent currents in anthropology, Science and
Technology Studies and social geography, among others, possible questions
to explore are: What and how are the corals we care for? How do we think
and imagine their pasts and futures? How is this informed by the conditions
of our disciplines, our field sites, or our basic notions of reality and
ethics? And how does this affect the kinds of care, management,
conservation and rehabilitation measures that are elicited into future
reefs? Who gets to care for corals and at expense of what other forms of
caring? This panel calls for proposals that think about these questions,
through theoretical contribution, methodological reflection and case
studies.
