Abstract
ABSTRACT This paper investigates a horticultural community's approaches to developing new farming practices to mitigate climate change induced food insecurity. Drawing on the concept of the Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD) from cultural-historical activity theory, the paper illustrates how the strong cultural and historical attachment to existing practices plays as significant a role as the intractability and unpredictability of the changing rainfalls in mediating community members' investment in new practices. The study suggests that what is perceived as 'safe,' materially and socially, is playing a central role in setting the boundary of their ZPD.
摘要:本文研究了园艺社区开发新农业实践的方法，以减轻气候变化引起的粮食不安全。本文借鉴了文化历史活动理论中的“近距离发展区”(Zone of Proximal Development, ZPD)概念，阐述了对现有实践的强烈文化和历史依恋如何与降雨量变化的难定性和不可预测性一样，在调节社区成员对新实践的投资方面发挥着重要作用。研究表明，物质和社会上的“安全”在设定他们的ZPD界限方面起着核心作用。
期刊介绍：
Mind, Culture, and Activity (MCA) is an interdisciplinary, international journal devoted to the study of the human mind in its cultural and historical contexts. Articles appearing in MCA draw upon research and theory in a variety of disciplines, including anthropology, cognitive science, education, linguistics, psychology, and sociology.
