Abstract

Abstract What can an “ethnographic sensibility” contribute to research on climate change governance? With its emphasis on meaning making and understanding what may lie beneath more obvious interactions and processes, ethnographic methodologies, particularly collaborative event ethnography, are increasingly deployed to address complex questions and achieve conceptual leverage on issues related to climate governance. Drawing on literature in climate anthropology, material geography, and political ethnography, and with examples from our own fieldwork experiences, we devise a heuristic typology underpinned by an ethnographic sensibility to help guide the fieldwork phase of a research project. Building on the well-established practice of hanging out, we introduce hanging around, which attends to spatiality and matter; hanging in, which addresses issues of access and trust; and hanging back to guide the practice of reflexivity. We articulate what fieldwork with an ethnographic sensibility entails and discuss its potential and implications for climate governance research.

运用民族志的敏感性来理解气候变化治理:外出、四处、进入和返回
摘要“民族志敏感性”对气候变化治理研究有什么贡献?民族志方法论,特别是合作事件民族志,强调意义的创造和理解更明显的互动和过程背后可能隐藏的东西,越来越多地被用来解决复杂的问题,并在与气候治理相关的问题上实现概念上的影响力。借鉴气候人类学、物质地理学和政治民族志的文献,并结合我们自己的实地考察经验,我们设计了一种以民族志情感为基础的启发式类型学,以帮助指导研究项目的实地考察阶段。在闲逛的既定实践基础上,我们引入了闲逛,它关注空间性和物质性;坚持,解决访问和信任问题;以及后仰以指导自反性的实践。我们阐明了具有民族志敏感性的实地调查需要什么,并讨论了其对气候治理研究的潜力和影响。
