适应气候变化是一项政策目标，其重要性在全球南方的发展规划中迅速增长。本文基于后殖民理论的视角，对围绕这一术语的话语政治进行了探讨。通过采用植根于想象地理和话语暴力的概念的理论框架，这一贡献旨在解构如何适应正在想象和促进全球南方背景下的发展行为体。基础研究采用多站点的机构人种学，批判性地分析了由联合国开发计划署（UNDP）和国家政府联合实施的圣多美和普林西比（STP）适应项目。文章提出的证据如何代理的发展（重新）产生一个富有想象力的地理国家的脆弱性，并参与一个话语暴力，使项目受益人一方面容易受到影响，并试图将他们转化为适应模式的科目。它讨论了当地居民如何被有效地排除在项目的基础上，他们认为自己的脆弱性和点的关键政治理论和“富有想象力的反地理”的方式，其中全球南方的弱势和话语的暴力侵害其居民的权力代表可以抵消。
Adaptation to climate change is a policy objective of rapidly growing importance for development programming across the Global South. This article offers an interrogation of the discursive politics surrounding the term based on insights from postcolonial theory. By employing a theoretical framework rooted in the concepts of imaginative geographies and discursive violence, this contribution seeks to deconstruct how adaptation is being imagined and promoted by development actors in a Global South context. The underlying study adopts a multisited, institutional ethnography to critically analyze an adaptation project in São Tomé and Príncipe (STP) implemented jointly by the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) and the national government. The article presents evidence for how agents of development (re)produce an imaginative geography of the country’s vulnerability and engage in a discursive violence that renders project beneficiaries vulnerable on the one hand, and seeks to transform them into model adaptation subjects on the other. It discusses how local residents have been effectively excluded from the project based on their perceived vulnerabilities and points to critical political theory and “imaginative countergeographies” as ways in which the disempowering representations of the Global South as vulnerable and the discursive violence committed against its residents can be counteracted.
