Knowledge and the politics of land
本特刊通过历史和当代案例研究，分析土地如何被认知，以及土地管理和专业知识如何产生、传播、体验和争议，对当前危机下寻找“新”或“空置”土地的现象具有批判意义。
In this special issue, the authors provide in-depth historical and contemporary studies to examine how land is known and the ways in which land management and expertise are produced, disseminated, experienced and contested. The papers analyze the production of models, frameworks, calculations, tools, and ideas that shape land use and access to resources. These empirical and conceptual insights are particularly critical today as declarations of crisis precipitate the search for ‘new,’ ‘empty,’ or ‘unproductive’ land. The themes of expertise, (in)visibility/ignorance, displacements, and crisis frame our treatment of the relationship between knowledge and the politics of land management.
