| الملخص: | This article shows that visual representations are valuable sources for investigating the cultural and social history of the humankind-nature relationship. It does so by considering visual representations of future acts of environing as technologies that, connoting the making of the environment, disclose societal sensibilities and actors’ agendas regarding technology, the environment and nature.
