……那是种树的公共牧场。在尼日利亚的两个项目中，村民把种下的非果树全砍了当柴烧，却把结好果子的树保护得好好的。推荐读物：James Scott 的《国家的视角》（Seeing Like A State）。第一部分关于“科学林业”的论述可以直接对号入座，全书其他部分在概念层面上也是如此。简而言之，国家试图让其资源和人口变得“清晰可见”（legible），因为……

Another essential piece of reading for names in the database context, and the idea of social "legibility", is Seeing like a State (see long review at https://crookedtimber.org/2007/10/31/delong-scott-and-hayek/ ). Also thinking of a certain South African industrialist who has recently given his child a name that is not only unpronounceable…
