Anthropological Perspectives on Environmental Communication
Anthropology is not my academic home port, but I fnd it enormously
compelling and visit often. I admire anthropologists because they are disciplined, observant, and inquisitive feld researchers driven by a seemingly
insatiable curiosity to unpack and better understand the distinctions that
defne a particular human community. With accuracy and respect, they
seek to identify culture markers including the ancient, historic, and/or
contemporary patterns, rituals, beliefs, relationships, and roles that defne
how particular humans have worked out how they will live together in
their environment.
Perhaps it is the voyeur in me, in all of us, that draws me to anthropological writing. I am amazed with the endless diversity, resourcefulness,
and resilience of how humans do life together with other humans in a
particular place. Anthropologists nearly always introduce me to cultures I
did not know existed and that I will likely never be able to physically visit.
The anthropologists in this volume do not disappoint. Geographically,
they take us to communities in Sweden’s western coastal area and a former
mining area in the country’s central region, rural areas of Chile and Central
Slovakia, protected areas in Arizona and Utah in the southwestern USA,
and the largest lake in Alaska
