| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Using archival sources and photos of visual culture in San Diego this research reconsidered the relationship between primitive accumulation (land loss) and: a.) traditional ecologies; and b.) cultural references to traditional ecology of Mexican-Americans in the U.S. Southwest. This research analysed different cultural modes of representation of this ecological viewpoint from a wide range of genres: poetry; fiction; maps; journalism; and visual arts (in the form of community murals) and put them into a context of political economy and discourse. Thus, empirical and theoretical sources were mixed to provide new perspectives. In addition to two conference papers, the research has produced one peer-reviewed journal articles and another peer-reviewed journal article which is in press. Additional papers are being developed about the urban context of Mexican-American environmentalism, especially from materials collected in urban sites in 2017.
