This presentation proceeds from an unease with the terms in which the environmental humanities have been approaching “cultural responses” to “climate change,” particularly the way such a formulation is predicated on a distinction between nature and culture inaugurated by European humanism. What contemporary South Asia offers, I argue, is a complex and richly variegated terrain of naturecultures (to use Bruno Latour’s term), where global discourses of environment and ecology that trace their lineage to scientific and Romantic ideas or genres come into assemblage with other vernacular traditions of engaging with and representing what we have come to call nature, environment, and/or ecology. Building on the work of Daud Ali and others, I explore this terrain using an instance from my current research on the “eco” theme parks currently burgeoning all over India: the BJP regime’s tourism-driven makeover of the area around the Sardar Sarovar dam in Gujarat’s Narmada valley. While there are many obvious elements of political propaganda at work here, my interest is in how heterogeneous genealogies of representing “nature” are mobilized towards the ethical mandate of a statecraft whose logics are simultaneously biopolitical and cosmological.
