摘要

在长期存在隐形环境危害的世界中,行动和机构的可能性有多大?当受影响社区对环境危害的认识存在矛盾或冲突时,环保社会运动如何应对危机?本研究通过广泛的参与观察和深入访谈,探讨了 2011 年 3 月福岛核事故后的这些问题。全国各地的相关公民和倡导者对此次事故做出反应的方式之一是组织休养所,旨在为仍生活在福岛县的儿童和家庭提供暂时缓解辐照威胁的机会。这些休养所主要是放松、玩耍和沉浸于大自然的场所。疗养地提供了 "第三空间",供人们就共同经历、持续关注的问题以及有关辐射风险的实用信息进行交流,其功能还包括使辐射污染非正常化,并在透明、信任和相互支持的基础上培养伦理关系。我认为,休养生息活动的组织以及参与行为代表了一种缓慢的行动主义形式,不属于抵抗与静止的二元对立。休养生息是公共卫生应对环境健康危机的一种潜在模式,尤其是在环境不确定和存在争议的情况下。

Slow activism in third places: De-normalizing radiation and rebuilding ethical relations after Fukushima.

What are the possibilities for action and agency in a world of chronic, invisible environmental harm? How can environmental social movements address crises wherein affected communities have ambivalent or conflicting perceptions of the environmental harm in question? Through extensive participant observation and in-depth interviews, this study explores these questions in the aftermath of the Fukushima nuclear accident of March 2011. One way in which concerned citizens and advocates across the country responded to this accident was to organize recuperation retreats, meant to provide temporary relief from the physical threat of radiation exposure for children and families still living in Fukushima prefecture. Such retreats are primarily sites of relaxation, play, and immersion in nature. In providing "third places" for conversation about shared experiences, ongoing concerns, and practical information about radiation risk, retreats also function to de-normalize radiation contamination and cultivate ethical relations based on transparency, trust, and mutual support. I argue that recuperation retreat organizing, as well as the act of participation, represents a form of slow activism that falls outside of the binary of resistance and quiescence. Recuperation retreats present a potential model for a public health response to environmental health crises, particularly in cases of environmental uncertainty and contestation.

期刊介绍: Environmental Sociology is dedicated to applying and advancing the sociological imagination in relation to a wide variety of environmental challenges, controversies and issues, at every level from the global to local, from ‘world culture’ to diverse local perspectives. As an international, peer-reviewed scholarly journal, Environmental Sociology aims to stretch the conceptual and theoretical boundaries of both environmental and mainstream sociology, to highlight the relevance of sociological research for environmental policy and management, to disseminate the results of sociological research, and to engage in productive dialogue and debate with other disciplines in the social, natural and ecological sciences. Contributions may utilize a variety of theoretical orientations including, but not restricted to: critical theory, cultural sociology, ecofeminism, ecological modernization, environmental justice, organizational sociology, political ecology, political economy, post-colonial studies, risk theory, social psychology, science and technology studies, globalization, world-systems analysis, and so on. Cross- and transdisciplinary contributions are welcome where they demonstrate a novel attempt to understand social-ecological relationships in a manner that engages with the core concerns of sociology in social relationships, institutions, practices and processes. All methodological approaches in the environmental social sciences – qualitative, quantitative, integrative, spatial, policy analysis, etc. – are welcomed. Environmental Sociology welcomes high-quality submissions from scholars around the world.
