呼吁社会科学参与能源基础设施和用户,以实现低碳转型,使全球南方的穷人受益,这是值得欢迎的,但其紧迫性可能导致认知扭曲。能源社会研究中的“社区”主题需要批判性的反思,消除歧义,并通过实证案例研究进行讯问。本文探讨了在局部尺度上假设的同质性的维度。在尼加拉瓜和尼泊尔案例研究比较的异同中,作者提出了一个理解利益和实践社区的框架,可以在对能源技术的选择性抵制和占有中找到,这些技术突出了新兴社会能源系统中的边缘地位和共同目的。
The call for social science to engage with energy infrastructures and users to enable low-carbon transitions that benefit the poor in the Global South is welcome, but its urgency risks epistemic distortion. The theme of “community” in the social studies of energy needs critical reflection, disambiguation, and interrogation with empirical case studies. This article explores dimensions of assumed homogeneity at local scales. In attending to similarities and difference in comparisons between case studies in Nicaragua and Nepal, the authors propose that a framework for understanding communities of interest and practice can be identified in selective resistance to and appropriation of energy technologies that highlight positions of marginality and common purpose in emerging social energy systems.
