title = "Emancipating nature: What the Flood Apprentice Learned from a Modelling Tutorial",
abstract = "The issue of riverine flooding in the UK is closely tied up with computer simulations. Arguably, these modelling practices are ripe with the anticipation of nature. They aspire to pre-empt it, hence expect it to be {\textquoteleft}out there{\textquoteright}, and ultimately work through formalized distillations of it – hydrodynamic equations – which have their own anticipations and place their own demands on their modellers. Through the experience of a flood modelling apprenticeship I argue that the taking-place of such anticipations paradoxically relies on the birth of a hybrid, the model-modeller, and thus on a nature which is generative rather than anticipative and wholly freed from ontological confines.
