This article discusses how Sicilian oliviculturalists imbue value into their olivicultural landscapes. I combine a political ecology framework, attending to the impact of global political economy on local socioecological systems, with feminist theorizations of care to argue that while participants articulated varied values about place, livelihood, and landscape, participants nonetheless rejected an economistic valuation of their labor, livelihood, and landscapes. Instead, they embraced what I call a praxis of care. In describing this praxis of care, I draw on recent work on global environmental ruination and devastation as a result of capitalist overextraction to illustrate how Sicilian oliviculturalists conceptualize and experience ruined landscapes, specifically in the context of abbandono, “abandonment,” and their positioning in relation to contemporary iterations of the historical Southern Question.

Amara e bella，苦涩而美丽：重视西西里橄榄油和风景的护理实践

本文讨论了西西里的橄榄种植者如何将价值融入他们的橄榄种植景观中。我结合了一个政治生态学框架，关注全球政治经济对当地社会生态系统的影响，与女性主义的关怀理论相结合，论证虽然参与者表达了关于地点、生计和景观的不同价值观，但参与者仍然拒绝对他们的劳动力进行经济估值、生计和风景。相反，他们接受了我所说的护理实践。在描述这种护理实践时，我借鉴了最近关于资本主义过度开采导致的全球环境破坏和破坏的工作，以说明西西里的橄榄文化主义者如何概念化和体验被破坏的景观，特别是在阿班多诺的背景下，“放弃”，以及它们与历史南方问题的当代迭代相关的定位。
