This paper explores local perceptions of the landscape in a small highland community near Haa, Bhutan. Through the lens of ethnoecology, it documents a storied landscape in which an animist cosmology, underpinned by Buddhism, shapes local subjectivities in particular ways that influence behaviour in relation to this landscape. We draw on this case to contribute to a growing body of research exploring how environmental governance understood as Foucauldian-inspired 'environmentality' works to create 'environmental subjects'. While initial work in this area describes a monolithic environmentality, more recent research outlines multiple environmentalities (neoliberal, disciplinary, sovereign and truth) to demonstrate how processes of subject formation occur differently in relation to each of these. Within this research, however, attention to truth environmentality and the particular forms of environmental subjectivity it cultivates has been largely absent thus far. Our analysis addresses this gap by exploring how members of the herding community in the case under investigation describe relationships with a set of cosmological entities that motivate specific self-understandings leading to conservation-conducive behaviour. In this way, our analysis highlights how this particular approach to the 'conduct of conduct' works to shape specific environmental subjectivities beyond those currently highlighted in the burgeoning environmentalities literature.

宇宙学的主观性:探索不丹哈阿高地的“真实”环境

本文探讨了不丹哈阿附近一个小型高原社区对当地景观的看法。通过民族生态学的镜头,它记录了一个故事的景观,在该景观中,以佛教为基础的万物有灵论的宇宙论以特定的方式塑造了局部主观性,从而影响了与该景观相关的行为。我们利用这个案例为不断发展的研究做出贡献,探索环境治理如何理解为以富国银行为灵感的“环境性”如何创造“环境主体”。虽然该领域的最初工作描述了整体环境,但最近的研究概述了多种环境(新自由,学科,主权和真相),以证明主体形成过程相对于每种环境如何发生不同。但是,在这项研究中 到目前为止,对真理的环境性及其培养的环境主体性的特殊形式的关注已经很少。我们的分析通过探索被调查案例中的羊群社区成员如何描述与一组宇宙学实体的关系来解决这一差距,这些实体激发了特定的自我理​​解,从而导致了有益于保护环境的行为。通过这种方式,我们的分析突出了这种“行为举止”的特定方式如何塑造特定的环境主观性,超越了新兴的环境文献中当前所强调的那些。我们的分析通过探索被调查案例中的羊群社区成员如何描述与一组宇宙学实体的关系来解决这一差距,这些实体激发了特定的自我理​​解,从而导致了有益于保护环境的行为。通过这种方式,我们的分析突出了这种“行为举止”的特定方式如何塑造特定的环境主观性,超越了新兴的环境文献中当前所强调的那些。我们的分析通过探索被调查案例中的羊群社区成员如何描述与一组宇宙学实体的关系来解决这一差距,这些实体激发了特定的自我理​​解,从而导致了有益于保护环境的行为。通过这种方式,我们的分析突出了这种“行为举止”的特定方式如何塑造特定的环境主观性,超越了新兴的环境文献中当前所强调的那些。
