SUMMARY:Humanities Decanted: Jeffrey Hoelle
LOCATION:McCune Conference Room\, 34.413605\,-119.850647
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a dialogue between Jeffrey Hoelle (Anthropology) a
 nd David Pellow (Environmental Studies) about Hoelle’s new book\, Cultiva
 ted: Plants\, Hair\, and the Aesthetic of Control. In this book\, Hoelle 
 traces the imprint of cultivation across the naturally growing covers of 
 the land and body—plants and hair. The book builds from research in the a
 gricultural fields and cattle pastures at the edge of the Amazon rainfore
 st to domestic landscapes and hair salons and shops in the frontier citie
 s of Brazil and beyond. In spaces where the tangled forest once stood\, c
 lean pastures and ordered rows of crops now sit on properties with geomet
 ric edges. From rural spaces to immaculate lawns and cemeteries in the ci
 ty\, the imprint leads to the body\, where hair\, like plant growth\, is 
 cut\, trimmed\, and otherwise managed. Seemingly separate domains of agri
 culture\, landscaping\, and personal grooming are governed by a similar a
 esthetic of control. This unique pairing of land and body expands our und
 erstanding of cultivation as a practice and as an ideology that operates 
 in frontier Amazonia—but also closer to home\, influencing how we concept
 ualize and interpret the covers that grow on and around us\, and our imag
 ined relations with nature in the future. Hoelle argues that we must unde
 rstand this system of thought and the overlooked role it plays in environ
 mental destruction and social inequality.\n\nJeffrey Hoelle is a professo
 r of anthropology at the University of California\, Santa Barbara. He\n\n
