摘要

本文认为,社会亲密关系的产生对于环境保护行为的实现至关重要。通过询问一群在致力于碳减排的乡村社区长大的年轻人的亲密社会,我理清了日常亲密关系对日常(非)可持续性的影响,特别是与年轻人作为“可持续性救世主”的流行但不加批判的定位有关。我通过强调亲密关系的流动性和整个青年期的相关信任感,对年轻人的社会亲密关系是生活方式改变的直接促成因素的假设提出了质疑。我进一步认为,如果年轻人能够在信任和支持的网络空间之间轻松移动,利用这种流动性实际上可能会放大自下而上的环境关怀。根据关于友谊、家庭和社区亲密关系的学术研究,以及关于家庭是更可持续生活的关键因素的大量文献,我建议在个人层面上需要进行大量的和解工作,以便在致力于个人环境行动的同时,在社会生活的日常亲密关系中舒适地生活。这些观点推动了围绕更可持续生活方式的最佳社会驱动因素的辩论,同时也对太容易将推动变革的责任推给年轻人发出了警告。

The intimate socialities of going carbon neutral
This paper argues that the generation of social intimacy is critical to enabling acts of environmental care. By interrogating the intimate socialities of a group of young people who grew up in a village community committed to carbon reduction, I untangle the influence of everyday intimacies on everyday (un)sustainabilities, particularly in relation to the popular but uncritical positioning of young people as ‘sustainability saviours’. I problematise assumptions that young people's social intimacies are a straightforward enabler of lifestyle change aligned with sustainability by highlighting the fluidity of intimacies and associated senses of trust throughout young adulthood. I argue further that capitalising on this fluidity might in fact amplify bottom-up environmental care if young people can move readily between networked spaces of trust and support. Drawing from scholarship on friendship, family and community intimacies and the substantial literature on households as crucibles for more sustainable living, I suggest there is considerable reconciliation work demanded at a personal level in order to live comfortably within the everyday intimacies of social life at the same time as committing to individual environmental action. These arguments advance debates around the optimal social drivers of more sustainable lifestyles, at the same time as sounding a cautionary note in relation to the too easy emplacement of responsibility for driving change at the feet of young people.
