In the Cresswell piece from Tuesday, page 11 contains wisdom from Cronon as he takes a analytical journey in order to know “what to make” of a place called Kennecott. His answer is to trace the connections between Kennecott and the rest of world. He explains connections as ” the ecology of people as the organisms sharing the universe with many other organisms, the political economy of people as social beings reshaping nature and one another to produce their collective life, and the cultural values of people as storytelling creatures struggling to find meaning of their place in the world.” (Cronan 1992, 32) I found this quote to be very applicable and relevant to the Acheson Intro. In the piece , Archeson talks about the social organization of the Maine lobster fisherman industry. He explains that social anthropologists have found that “each industry has a set of traditions, rules of behavior and myths about itself.. they share skills and a common knowledge of the means to exploit and market a certain product”. These social and cultural traits are not exclusively shared and understood by the Maine industry but also, “with other fishing communities in the United States and thoughout the world”. It is also explained that “Maine lobster fishermen live in long-established communities, interact with other people from “town” and are concerned primarily with events in their own community. ” These communities are “inextricably tied to the state, the region, and the nation. If Cronan’s words are a formula for understanding connections thus knowing what to make of a place, I would have an input for every piece of the formula based on what I’ve found in the Acheson Intro. With this knowledge is it possible to understand what defines the place of the Maine lobster fisherman?
