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

自20世纪60年代S以来，兰萨罗特的自然和文化遗产一直由当地环境艺术家塞萨尔·曼里克(Cesar Manrique，1919年生于1993年)塑造，他利用创造性的实践干预景观，以引起人们对岛屿独特环境的关注，使其成为联合国教科文组织世界遗产保护的一部分。通过这个镜头，我的博士将通过调查岛上北部的一个本土植物花园和一个废弃的重新造林项目来质疑艺术、生态和母性实践之间的关系。利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，这些花园将成为失去的生态和想象的未来之间进行社会调解的场所。通过这项以实践为基础的研究，我的目标是质疑并建立创造力、育儿和生态之间的联系，同时解决重新野生景观的必要性。

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.
