Presentation by Eunice Blavaskunas (University of California) "The Forest that points backwards and forwards: civilization talk in Poland's Bialowieza Forest"

Eunice Blavaskunas (University of California) gave a presentation about discussions of future of Poland's Bialowieza Forest. The actors of numerous debates about Bialowieza Forest use the civilizational rhetorics and call images of traditional cultures, royal hunting pasts and also the more recent twentieth century logging past. Bialowieza Forest becomes a border point across the mythical boundary between East and West.
