Nature; pure, separate, external
Spectacle; a strategic ontology that arranges biopolitical relations regarding the separation of Nature and Human.

Greenwashing of military land and the conversion into nature refuges, is an example of spectacle used as a biopolitical technique - ‘warfare to wildlife’ (Krupar, 2016). The “post military nature refuge has been used to...bury public criticism or annex environmental critique to military goals, and to foster ignorance of the biophysical socialization of risk and exposure” (Krupar 2016, 124). Nuclear landscapes such as Weldon Spring Ordinance Works “propagate the idea that such lands are now demilitarized and safe for public recreation and observation of nature” (Krupar 2016, 122). The result; consumption of nature, such that it becomes spectacle, and removes the political context of these landscapes. Concealment of site contaminants is further generated through offices of regulation and observation that create an economy of decontamination projects. In the frame of this investigation spectacle can be understood as the biopolitical separation between human and waste, as a method of rationalizing disposal through a denial of the grace condition. Warfare to Wildlife tactics generate landscapes displaced in place.
