SUMMARY:Humanities Decanted: Jeffrey Hoelle
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a dialogue between Jeffrey Hoelle (Anthropology) and David Pellow (Environmental Studies) about Hoelle’s new book\, Cultivated: Plants\, Hair\, and the Aesthetic of Control. In this book\, Hoelle traces the imprint of cultivation across the naturally growing covers of the land and body—plants and hair. The book builds from research in the agricultural fields and cattle pastures at the edge of the Amazon rainforest to domestic landscapes and hair salons and shops in the frontier cities of Brazil and beyond. In spaces where the tangled forest once stood\, clean pastures and ordered rows of crops now sit on properties with geometric edges. From rural spaces to immaculate lawns and cemeteries in the city\, the imprint leads to the body\, where hair\, like plant growth\, is cut\, trimmed\, and otherwise managed. Seemingly separate domains of agriculture\, landscaping\, and personal grooming are governed by a similar aesthetic of control. This unique pairing of land and body expands our understanding of cultivation as a practice and as an ideology that operates in frontier Amazonia—but also closer to home\, influencing how we conceptualize and interpret the covers that grow on and around us\, and our imagined relations with nature in the future. Hoelle argues that we must understand this system of thought and the overlooked role it plays in environmental destruction and social inequality. \nJeffrey Hoelle is a professor of anthropology at the University of California\, Santa Barbara. He is the author of Rainforest Cowboys: The Rise of Ranching and Cattle Culture in Western Amazonia. \nRefreshments will be served. \nCosponsored by the IHC’s Sara Miller McCune and George D. McCune Endowment
