Osim što je biološka činjenica, šuma je društveno i kulturno konstruirana, dio je
kulturnih praksi, zapletena u proizvodne odnose, prostor konflikta, mapirana, razgraničena,
klasificirana, ozakonjena i regulirana. U nju se upisuje osobno iskustvo u obliku sjećanja na
prošle događaje, ali i svakodnevno iskustvo šume kao mjesta rada. U ovom se radu na temelju
etnografske građe operacionalizira koncept političke šume na primjeru sela Drežnice kod
Ogulina.Apart from being a biological fact, the forest is also socially and culturally constructed, part
of cultural practices, entangled in processes of production, a space of conflict, it is mapped,
delimited, classified, legislated and regulated. Personal experience in the form of memories of
past events is inscribed in it, as well as the everyday experience of forest as a place of work. This
paper operationalizes the concept of the political forest based on ethnographic material, on the
example of the village of Drežnica near Ogulin
