Of Trees, Deer, Humans and the Spaces Between: Orientating towards the future bygiving voice to the disparate groups and individuals

完整的项目名称：树木、鹿、人类和空间之间：通过向苏格兰“鹿问题”中涉及的不同群体和个人发出声音来面向未来：创造性实践研究回应。这项研究将着眼于创造性的非虚构、虚构和生态诗歌策略如何在苏格兰最棘手的环境问题之一“鹿问题”中涉及的许多个人和团体之间的紧张关系和共性的舞台上表现、联系和互动。在苏格兰，如何最好地控制鹿的数量以及在多大程度上控制鹿的数量并不是一个新问题，而且是当前许多土地问题及其随之而来的经济、环境和社会影响的核心。目前，缓解气候变化的迫切需要推动了政策的制定，人们有一种植树的动力，而鹿是苏格兰最多产的野生食草动物，对林地的繁衍构成了威胁，“鹿的问题”已经成为一个热门话题。该研究将考察创造性干预如何在这个关于“鹿问题”的土地管理的争论舞台上转化、反映和影响现有的实践和过程。本项目将探究不同创作体裁的潜力，反思性地探索不同参与方之间的张力、边界和交集。主要的研究问题是：在不断发展的生态危机的背景下，从这个分裂的、碎片化的、激烈争论的问题中，通过采取多元化的观点，可以产生什么总体的、连贯的或不连贯的整体？

Full project title: Of Trees, Deer, Humans and the Spaces Between: Orientating towards the future bygiving voice to the disparate groups and individuals involved in Scotland's 'deerquestion': A creative practice research response.This research will look at how creative non-fiction, fiction and ecopoetic strategies would represent, relate and interact in the arena of tensions and commonalities between themany individuals and groups involved in one of Scotland's most intractable environmentalissues, 'the deer question'. This quandary - how best and to what extent to control deernumbers in Scotland - is not a new one, and is at the heart of many current land issues with their ensuing economic, environmental and social implications. In this presentmoment when policies are being driven by the urgent need to mitigate climate change,there is a drive to plant trees, and with deer being the most prolific wild herbivore in Scotland, and a threat to woodland generation, 'the deer question' has become a red-hotissue.The research will examine how creative interventions might translate, reflect and impactexisting practices and processes in this polemic arena of land management with regard to 'the deer question'. This project will investigate the potential of diverse creative writinggenres to self-reflexively explore the tensions, boundaries and intersections of the differentparties involved. The main research question asks: Against a backdrop of unfolding ecological crisis what overarching whole, coherent or otherwise, can emerge from thisdivisive, fragmented and hotly-debated issue by taking on a plurality of perspectives?
