This paper situates environmental subjectivities as a constituent part of the politics of identity, property, and authority, drawing on feminist theories of subjectivity and the framework of articulating identity. Through an ethnographic investigation of community forest management in central Senegal, the author examines how villagers constructed subject positions incorporating environmental discourses and their own identity-inflected experiences and interests.
