From the periphery to the centre: Community engagement and justice in conservation decision making
2017
Conservation nowadays is understood as a
broad concept that considers objects as contextual
and contingent. The social dimensions
of the conservation object, however, have been
successively overlooked in most conservation
endeavours. Although communities are considered
an important stakeholder in conservation
decision-making processes, engagement with
communities in practice is clearly deficient. The
lack of communication with these communities
can be understood as a symptom of the overall
misrecognition of this peripheral stakeholder
that raises questions concerning the justice of
the conservation process in its social context.
The aim of this paper is to explore how the notion
of justice can be applied to conservation
decision-making through the example of two
performance-based artworks. Finally, a reflective
approach that acknowledges the ‘documentation
of absence’ is suggested.
