Urban Political Ecology 城市的政治生态 Abstract: As urban environments transform across the globe, debates over urban nature and its future forms have introduced important critical questions. How, for instance, do we study emergent, dynamic configurations of nature and culture in cities? How do we conceptualize the city as a field site when urbanization encompasses the full spatial continuum from city to countryside? How do we understand the place of history in an environmental era often categorized as unprecedented? This article traces political ecology from its noncity origins to its present engagements with urban life and forms. It argues that ethnographic work both enriches and complicates recent debates about the urban past, present, and future, and it calls for more vigorous and refined anthropological engagement with the biophysical sciences, the theoretical and methodological challenges of scale, and the work of historical contextualization in the history-evasive era now widely known as the Anthropocene. 摘要:随着全球范围内城市环境的变化,对城市自然及其未来形式的争论引出了重要而关键的问题。例如,我们如何研究城市中自然和文化的突发的、动态的形态与构造?当城市化包含了从城市到农村完整的空间连续体时,我们如何将城市概念化为一个现场点?在一个经常被归类为前所未有的环境时代,我们如何理解历史的地位?本文从非城市的起源到城市生活和形式的现在约定形式来追溯政治生态。本文认为,民族志工作丰富和复杂化了的关于城市的过去、现在和未来的近期辩论,本文呼吁,在现在被称为“人类世”的回避历史的时代,更多的动态的和精致的人类学,以及生物物理科学、度量的理论和方法上的挑战和历史语境中的工作的参与。 作者: Rademacher, Anne 编者: Brenneis, D; Strier, KB 来源:ANNUAL REVIEW OF ANTHROPOLOGY, VOL 44 丛书: Annual Review of Anthropology 卷: 44 页: 137-152 出版年: 2015 (责任编辑:admin) |
