在本章中，我们将多尺度运作的气候科学、政策和政治的更正式空间与“日常”空间联系起来。气候变化是一个高风险、引人注目和高度政治化的问题，通常以混乱、非线性和分散的方式与人们的日常生活、生活方式和生计相关。它不再仅仅被视为科学问题；而是被视为科学问题。相反，“气候问题”现在被认为比以往任何时候都更加渗透到我们个人以及共同的经济、政治、文化和社会生活中。通过对这些相互作用的简要说明，我们探索了一些有趣且值得注意的空间，包括我们所认为的气候变化的新兴文化政治，其范围包括日常话语、表征和致力于社会参与的“流行”文化。我们所说的文化政治是指那些经常引起争议和政治化的过程，通过这些过程，意义可以在空间、地点和不同尺度上被构建和协商。这不仅涉及在话语中获得关注的表述和信息，还涉及那些缺席或沉默的表述和信息（Derrida 1978；Dalby 2007）。在这些空间中，话语与立场、物质现实和社会实践联系在一起（Hall 1997）。正如大卫·哈维（David Harvey）评论的那样，“代表权的斗争与砖块和灰浆一样是场所建设活动的基础”（1990, 422，强调部分是后加的）。通过将这些特征视为正在进行的和有争议的过程的表现，我们可以考虑有关权力如何流经我们共同的社会、文化和政治机构的毛细血管，构建知识、规范、惯例、真理和谎言的问题（Foucault 1980）。这种动态的互动形成了权力与知识的联系，塑造了我们如何理解事物“真理”和“现实”，进而有助于管理我们社会生活的条件和策略（de Certeau 1984）。然而，我们不是鲁莽地强加法律或直接的纪律手段，而是考虑艺术、体育和名人等领域中更微妙的权力知识制度如何渗透并创造出日常话语、实践和制度过程中“允许的”、“正常的”以及“期望的”的东西（Foucault 1977）。
In this chapter, we connect the more formal spaces of climate science, policy and politics operating at multiple scales to those of the spaces of the ‘everyday’. Climate change is a high-stakes, high-profile and highly politicized issue that relates—often in messy, non-linear and diffuse ways—to people’s everyday lives, lifestyles and livelihoods. It is no longer thought of merely as scientific issue; rather, the ‘climate question’ is considered one that now, more than ever, permeates our individual, as well as shared, economic, political, cultural and social lives. Through a brief accounting of these interactions, we explore some interesting and notable spaces comprising what we see as the emerging cultural politics of climate change at the scale of the everyday discourses, representations and ‘popular’ cultures that work to engage society. By cultural politics we mean those oft-contested and politicized processes by which meaning is constructed and negotiated across space, place and at various scales. This involves not only the representations and messages that gain traction in discourses, but also those that are absent from them or silenced (Derrida 1978; Dalby 2007). In these spaces, discourses are tethered to positionalities, material realities and social practices (Hall 1997). As David Harvey has commented, ‘struggles over representation are as fundamental to the activities of place construction as bricks and mortar’ (1990, 422, emphasis added). By examining these features as manifestations of ongoing and contested processes, we can consider questions regarding how power flows through the capillaries of our shared social, cultural and political body, constructing knowledge, norms, conventions, truths and untruths (Foucault 1980). Such dynamic interactions form nexuses of power-knowledge that shape how we come to understand things as ‘truth’ and ‘reality’ and, in turn, contribute to managing the conditions and tactics of our social lives (de Certeau 1984). However, rather than brash imposition of law or direct disciplinary techniques, we consider how more subtle power-knowledge regimes in, for example, the likes of the arts, sports and celebrities, permeate and create what becomes ‘permissible’ and ‘normal’ as well as ‘desired’ in everyday discourses, practices and institutional processes (Foucault 1977).
