This paper draws on Bourdieu's notion of 'the field', a contested domain of relations of power, as a way to think about the social relations of environmentalism. More specifically, we suggest that talk about the environment and its protection is an i... Read More about Naturalising distinctions: the contested field of environmental relations in Costa Rica.
