Learning About Wrecksites
The shipwreck is a figure that performs the presence of the agential apparatus of (inter)national science-based polar bear conservation, management and monitoring- which the Bearwatch project is entangled within. The difference between what can exist, and what can not exist as part of a phenomena, are produced within phenomena by the im/material agencies of the (inquiring) apparatus-in encounter that constantly make and remake such determining agential cuts. ‘Our inquiries, in other words, do not simply generate knowledge, they generate realities’ (Rosiek, in Leavy, 2017 p. 638). Here and there, the shipwrecks of the larger settler-colonial state apparatus reveal themselves as materially constitutive agents in the KLS.
