Mothering Beyond the Flesh: ecology, creative practice and maternal subjectivity in landscapes of the Anthropocene.

自20世纪60年代以来，兰萨罗特岛的自然和文化遗产一直由当地环境艺术家Cesar Manrique（出生于1919年，出生于1993年）塑造，他采用创造性的实践作为景观的干预，引起人们对岛屿独特环境的关注，为其作为联合国教科文组织世界遗产的保护地位做出了贡献。通过这一视角，我的博士将通过调查岛屿北部的本土植物花园和废弃的再造林项目，来质疑艺术、生态和母亲实践之间的关系。这些花园采用创造性的实践作为一种方法，在人类世的景观中产生关于育儿经验的新知识，将成为一个失落的生态和想象的未来之间的社会调解场所。通过这个基于实践的研究，我的目标是质疑和建立创造力、母亲和生态之间的联系，同时解决重新野生化景观的必要性。

Since the 1960's, the natural and cultural heritage of Lanzarote has been shaped by native Environmental artist Cesar Manrique (b.1919, d.1993) who employed creative practice as an intervention with the landscape to draw attention to the islands unique environment, contributing to its protected status as a UNESCO world heritage site. Through this lens, my PhD will question the relationship between artistic, ecological and maternal practice by investigating a garden of indigenous plants and an abandoned reforestation project in the north of the island. Employing creative practice as a methodology for generating new knowledge about the experience of mothering within landscapes of the Anthropocene, these gardens will become the site of a social mediation between a lost ecology and an imaginary future. Through this practice-based research I aim to question and establish links between creativity, mothering and ecology, whilst addressing the imperative of re-wilding the landscape.
