Description
The Chicken and the Quetzal: Incommensurate Ontologies and Portable Values in Guatemala's Cloud Forest
Paul Kockelman explores how cultural values are shaped by conservation efforts in Guatemala's highland cloud forests. A group of German ecologists established an NGO to preserve the habitat of the resplendent quetzal, leading to a complex negotiation between indigenous worldviews and conservationists' goals.
This book offers a theoretical framework for understanding the entanglement of values as they are interpreted across different ontological worlds, making it a valuable contribution to studies on value production, portability, and ontology.
