“…Furthermore, as almost all art forms entail an important non-verbal component, they allow for eliciting tacit and unspoken knowledge (McNiff 1998) and expressing connections with nature through mediums and processes that go beyond words (Leavy 2009;Barone and Eisner 2012). Naturally, this entails challenges in data collection, data analysis, and in particular data representation (Eisner 1997), not at last because publishing in academic journals requires transferring research into writing (Prior 2018). Although it is sometimes argued that art should speak for itself (McNiff 1998), triangulating arts-based methods with quantitative or qualitative methods particularly for data collection may thus be necessary to assure the good quality of analyses and interpretations (Leavy 2009).…”

Beyond words – the potential of arts-based research on human-nature connectedness

Many scientists agree that the increasing disconnect between modern societies and nature is one of the greatest sustainability challenges of our time. At the level of individuals, human-nature connectedness has shown to be positively correlated with pro-environmental behavior and well-being. Reconnecting humans to nature may therefore constitute a leverage point for sustainability transformation. While a more comprehensive understanding of the multiple dimensions of human-nature connectedness is vital, many studies inquire exclusively into cognitive connections to nature, often following quantitative approaches. In this paper, I examine the potential of arts-based methods to overcome the reliance on language and unveil nuances of human-nature connectedness that lie beyond words. Arts-based research is capable of tapping into emotions and embodied experiences, which are often neglected in science. Since most art forms entail a non-verbal component, using them in the research process may transcend the cognitive to elicit unspoken knowledge. This makes arts-based research eligible particularly for investigating and enhancing emotional connections with nature. Nonetheless, arts-based methods pose specific challenges in data collection, data interpretation, and data representation and should be carefully integrated alongside quantitative and qualitative methods. This paper aims to provide valuable impulses for all researchers, artists, and practitioners concerned with humannature connectedness.

“…The latter concept is closely related to the theoretical concept of "remember" for reorganization , which has inspired studies on social-ecological memory as critical for resilience building as well as the role of biocultural refugia as pockets of social-ecological memory in times of change , Barthel and Isendahl 2013. The role of memory and sources of resilience are addressed in work on cultural landscapes and with links to senseof-place and deep identities as resilience features in adaptations and transformations (e.g., Turner et al 2003b, Crane 2010, Tidball et al 2010, Plieninger and Bieling 2012, Adger et al 2013, Tidball and Stedman 2013, Lyon 2014, Fernández-Giménez 2015. There is work on cultural resilience, often in relation to indigenous groups and cultures subject to change, emphasizing elements (e.g., resilience pivots, ancestral contracts) of a social-ecological system that endure despite adaptation or even transformation of other elements and in doing so support the persistence of the system's distinctive identity (e.g., Forbes 2013, Rotarangi and Stephenson 2014, von Heland and Folke 2014.…”

ABSTRACT.Resilience thinking in relation to the environment has emerged as a lens of inquiry that serves a platform for interdisciplinary dialogue and collaboration. Resilience is about cultivating the capacity to sustain development in the face of expected and surprising change and diverse pathways of development and potential thresholds between them. The evolution of resilience thinking is coupled to socialecological systems and a truly intertwined human-environment planet. Resilience as persistence, adaptability, and transformability of complex adaptive social-ecological systems is the focus, clarifying the dynamic and forward-looking nature of the concept. Resilience thinking emphasizes that social-ecological systems, from the individual, to community, to society as a whole, are embedded in the biosphere. The biosphere connection is an essential observation if sustainability is to be taken seriously. In the continuous advancement of resilience thinking there are efforts aimed at capturing resilience of social-ecological systems and finding ways for people and institutions to govern social-ecological dynamics for improved human well-being, at the local, across levels and scales, to the global. Consequently, in resilience thinking, development issues for human well-being, for people and planet, are framed in a context of understanding and governing complex social-ecological dynamics for sustainability as part of a dynamic biosphere.This invited article is a republication of Folke, C. 2016.

“…The goal of this study was to write poems that would highlight the experience and opinions of the participants as they experienced the workshop and reflected on past collaborative experiences. Guidance on poetic transcription is being included increasingly in qualitative research handbooks, though no single method has been identified (Faulkner, 2009;Harter, Peterson, McKenna, & Torrens, 2012;Madison, 2012;Richardson, 2001). Across sources, the common methodological recommendations include crafting poems that use exclusively words and phrases from participants, in order to represent the most powerful and relevant themes.…”

Transdisciplinary research, involving scholars and practitioners from a variety of fields, disciplines, and experiences, helps identify and explore the dynamic, multidimensional intersections among food systems challenges. While a valuable practice for exploring the food system in a meaningful way, transdisciplinary research in and of itself is a complex collaborative process. To support efforts for transdisciplinary approaches to food systems challenges, the Food Systems department at the University of Vermont sponsored a two-day workshop. This article uses poetic transcription drawn from participants' written evaluation of the workshop to analyze and share themes in experiences with transdisciplinary research and collaborations. The results, presented in a set of poems, promote conversation and understanding around the importance of transdisciplinary collaborations, as well as their challenges and opportunities for food systems.
