Alessandra Baltodano, MA of Anthropology of Tallinn University - "A Matter of Time: Things, Rhythms and Ethics in the Ballena Marine National Park"
This project is the outcome of an audiovisual ethnography carried out between June and August 2016, in the South Pacific coast of Costa Rica, at the Ballena Marine National Park.
During my fieldwork I realised that, although the institution of the national park is based on the spatial logic of bounding a specific area for protection, its implementation also has important temporal implications. In my presentation I will argue that the national park as institution operates under the clock-rhythm of modernity, and thus, under implicit notions of non-humans as static and without agency. Instead, I want to suggest that sensorial attentiveness to the rhythms of the materiality of the place can bring forward the agency of it.
I take this shift of perspective as an essential step towards a shift of ethics towards the nonhuman. Finally, this project also explores how the sensorial and time-based qualities of film enhance this attentiveness to rhythms and corporeality beyond the human.
The project also involved the making of the film Ballena: a portrait of a place in 3 acts, which, taking into consideration the analysis described above, seeks to re-narrate the place in a way that emphasises the agency of the sea in the constitution of the landscape.
