“…Using ethnographic methods has given me access to participants' stories, expressed in their own words; versions of reality from their various perspectives (Brockington & Sullivan, 2011;Cameron, 2012;Hennink et al, 2011). Accessing these perspectives has allowed me to analyse how Manu is constructed and contested through the discourses mobilised by practitioners operating at multiple scales (Favaro et al, 2017;Prior, 2011;Rapley, 2011), and to explore participants' everyday experiences of the social and cultural processes that shape this place from their standpoint (Brockington & Sullivan, 2011;Crang & Cook, 2011;Hennink et al, 2011). The flexibility of qualitative methods has also allowed me to recognize themes I had not foreseen during research design and to re-focus research according to them when necessary (Crang & Cook, 2011;Denzin & Lincoln, 2011;Schensul, 1998).…”

“…Finally, visual media like videos and pictures also convey meaning profoundly (Wooffitt, 2011), and provide researchers with a different perspective about research subjects (Rapley, 2011). In general, these types of publications are representations of reality constructed through the selection and organization of facts to convey specific meanings that prompt specific actions (Favaro et al, 2017;Owen, 2014;Prior, 2011).…”

“…Building an archive where documents and media are collected and managed is the first main task in document and media analysis (Rapley, 2011).

“…I focused my rationale on limiting the scope of the publications that I incorporated. I did so in terms of their case-specific content, frequency of publication, and the publishers that have made them available, as suggested in relevant literature (Favaro et al, 2017;Prior, 2011;Rapley, 2011). The following paragraphs explain specific criteria for each type of publication I used.…”

What is Manu? Wilderness, Science and Subjectivities. Exploring how Conservation Practitioners Make Places in Peru's Biodiversity Hotpsot

Conservation is, among other things, a way of making places. By intervening in spaces to attempt to form and reform an ideal state of nature, conservation reflects and sustains discourses about nature and the social structures that these discourses emanate from. As part of these place-making processes, people working in conservation play vital roles in navigating various discourses and structures within complex political dynamics. From a postcolonial and political ecology perspective, this thesis examines the relatively under-explored views of conservation practitioners, the people who do conservation, to unpack how they make sense of their experiences in conservation spaces. Grounded in the case study of the Manu National Park in the Peruvian Amazon, this exploration highlights the ways in which conservation practitioners understand this space and navigate the tensions inherent in conservation interventions by exercising their power and agency within the existing structures of conservation institutions. Despite persistent Indigenous presence, the Manu National Park is frequently portrayed by the conservation movement as a pristine space where nature without people can be studied to facilitate the restoration of disturbed areas of Amazonia. This questionable characterization of place has significantly influenced the relationship of conservation institutions and the local and Indigenous communities of Manu. So, how do conservation practitioners shape conservation places in Manu and beyond? Answering this question, this study argues that the politics of place-making in Manu are key in the way conservation practitioners understand their work and positions in this conservation space. To unpack the multiple ways in which these politics are enacted and reworked by conservation practitioners, this thesis engages with current debates around wilderness, knowledge hierarchies and environmentalities. Using critical discourse analysis to interpret online interviews and archival data, this thesis highlights the urgency of facing and addressing colonial legacies within the conservation sector, as well as the multiple ways in which individuals’ discourses and practices intersect with, and can disrupt, structural forces and processes.

“Your Diet Defines Who You Are, Especially as a Man”: Masculinity in Online Media Focused on Healthy Eating for Men

In contexts marked by neoliberal ideology and a claimed “crisis” in men’s health, men are responsibilized to be/come healthy. Eating has long been a gendered practice in Western cultures, and recent cultural shifts have produced ways of eating that are both masculinized and (claimed) healthy. Online healthy eating advice, which encourages and supports men to eat healthily, is an important information source. However, such information draws on, reproduces, and/or disrupts existing meanings about men and eating. To understand contemporary representations of men and healthy eating, we examined 30 online media articles oriented specifically to this topic. Using reflexive thematic analysis from a social constructionist position, we developed two themes: A lad’s looks and lifestyle and Mind over matter: The masculine mindset. These themes together told an overarching story that healthy eating is effectively sold to men by drawing on traditional or hegemonic ideals of masculinity and effectively evoking access to an enhanced masculinity through healthy eating. While these representational practices may sell healthy eating to men, with likely positive health benefits, they also reinforce hegemonic ideals of masculinity which can be problematic from a health perspective.
