Reading Notes provided by prof: the reading here runs over a two week period, and focuses, in the first instance on “The Sixties” — that “crazy time” when people believed they could change the world – and a new social movement known as environmentalism took centre stage. The first great interpreter of this movement, Samuel P Hays, argued that “environmentalism” was radically different from “conservationism” (which he had also studied in detail – see above), because the latter was, in his terms a “producer” movement, the latter a “consumer” movement. More than his, Hays characterized environmentalism in a telling (but perhaps imperfect?) catchphrase, arguing that it was focused on BEAUTY (concern for scenic or wilderness preservation) HEALTH (concerns about pollution and its effects on human bodies) and PERMANENCE (concerns about what we might now call the sustainability of life on earth due to anxieties about population growth, nuclear Armageddon etc. The links, forward and back, should be obvious here, and are important in understanding the broad, evolving trajectory of environmental thought. In reading the slender selection of material chosen from a wide and diverse literature for these discussions you should ask yourself about the context from which this “moment” emerged – the post WWII economic boom, suburban expansion, the encouragement of consumerism, the mounting evidence that ills were befalling the earth (if this phrase carries an echo, think back to Chief Seattle’s speech and the “Crying Indian” PSA) manifest in the burning of rivers , in Love Canal, and in the war in Vietnam etc.
We will focus particularly on the ideas articulated by the remarkable (albeit little celebrated) Canadian J Stan Rowe, and ask whether he provides a distinctively Canadian perspective on North American environmentalism.
