- Title
Performing place in nature reserves.
- Authors
Watson, Matthew
- Abstract
The article discusses the performance of place in nature reserves. It focuses on the Agglestone, a rock on Godlingston Heath, part of the Studland peninsula in Dorset, England, and a nearby fence. The author comments nature reserves as local spaces and the relationship between human and nonhuman nature. He also explores the reserve as a scientific object and analyzes the creation of expert knowledge. An ecological survey of the area conducted in the 1930s by Captain Cyril Diver, the first Director-General of the organization the Nature Conservancy, is considered, as is the British government's Biodiversity Action Plan (BAP).
