A plant becomes invasive bec of certain conditions (usually monoculture or chemical overdose, i.e. industry). and how exactly do we delineate introduced or endemic? species (including plants) move around a very great deal. I don’t think it is the work of art to categorize and resolve these conflicts. I think the hard work is opening spaces where these novel interactions can be studied beyond colonial rhetoric. </div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">E</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div>On Wed, Jun 13, 2018 at 12:18 PM Aviva Rahmani <<a href="mailto:ghostnets@ghostnets.com">ghostnets@ghostnets.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">----------empyre- soft-skinned space----------------------<br>
How would you propose we listen, Elaine? How would we distinguish conflicts, for example between introduced and endemic species?<br>
