Abstract: The findings of environmental history are in the service of ecology and represent an important contribution to the understanding of the sustainable management of land. The aim of this article is to shed light on the relations between the local population and the authorities regarding the afforestation of common land in Komen in the second half of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, placing them in a broader Mediterranean context. The local population was not opposed to afforestation per se, but to the prohibition of usufruct on afforested land, which had major economic consequences for the local population. Authorities did not always take into consideration the annual agricultural processes, local customs, and natural resource needs in their afforestation decisions. The prohibition of usufruct was followed by a shortage of fodder and firewood, which led to forest violations to satisfy demands. Thus, afforestation has undermined the basis of agriculture. In addition, already afforested land remained under common ownership for a relatively long time.

Abstract: An ongoing collaborative project between art and science, Taming the Forest (2022) was implemented by a team of students, artists and researchers charting an interdisciplinary project among bioeconomics, environmental history, policy and artistic practice. In this article, the project acts as a case study for researching the conflicting narratives of history and economics about biodiversity in general, and specifically about forests. It shows how different blends of methodologies in artistic-cum-scientific research can become relevant for both realms, opening new creative pathways and pedagogical registers while repeatedly returning to a specific forest’s microhistory. Moreover, the article stresses the need for a new sensibility and complex knowledge, moving beyond an objective study and becoming attentive to different dimensions of research and its outputs that emerge through the introduction of artistic thinking and methodologies. This kind of transdisciplinary approach becomes necessary in order to tackle the manifold large-scale problems such as the climate and biodiversity crises, which call for both acting decisively and transforming radically, above all with regard to how humans perceive, relate to and manage nature.

Abstract: Rdečo nit prispevka predstavlja interpretacija dejavnikov, ki so vplivali na gospodarski razvoj, vrhunec in propad trga. Trg Senožeče se je razvil poleg istoimenske vasi. Krivulji gospodarske rasti trga in vasi Senožeče se opazno razlikujeta ter sta v nekaterih časovnih intervalih celo obratno sorazmerni. Ker je skozi trg vodila pomembna trgovska pot, je to ugodno vplivalo na njegov razvoj. Nastanek trga postavljamo v obdobje od sredine 14. do sredine 15. st. V drugi polovici 16. in v prvih desetletjih 17. st. je doživljal gospodarski vrhunec, ki mu je v prvi polovici 18. st. sledilo postopno ugašanje tržišča. V 18. st. je vodilno mesto v gospodarski sferi prevzela vas, v katero se je prenesla pomembna prometnica, ki je prej potekala skozi trg
