摘要本文探讨了气候变化的想法如何传播到密克罗尼西亚群岛，以及话语如何在当地生活世界中以完全不同的方式翻译。建立在长期的实地工作在楚克，本文首先将气候变化概念化为一个“旅行的想法”，它需要出发到大洋洲的islandscape在“西方”岛屿概念的“岛屿”和饲料的“脆弱性轨迹”，把岛屿变成世界的金丝雀的气候变化的影响。第二，报告审查了为什么气候变化问题对许多岛民来说仍然是一个非主题或次要方面，而他们同时又被置于全球防止全球变暖运动的前线。
Abstract This paper explores how the idea of climate change travels to the islands of Micronesia and how discourses are translated in radically different ways in local life-worlds. Building on long-term fieldwork in Chuuk, the paper first conceptualizes climate change as a ‘travelling idea’ which takes its departure to the islandscape of Oceania in ‘Western’ island conceptions of ‘insularity’ and feed the ‘vulnerability trajectories’ that turned the islands into the world’s canary for the impact of climate change. It secondly examines why the issue of climate change remains a non-topic or a secondary aspect to many of the islanders, who are simultaneously put at the frontline in the global campaign against global warming.
