摘要自21世纪初以来，乌拉圭西南部的农村社区对转基因作物产量增加所带来的农业环境挑战做出了不同的反应。复原力文献强调了社区认同对当地应对措施的重要性，但很少有人探讨社区认同的经济和政治方面如何影响社区治理，以应对当地的环境挑战。基于历史文本，采访的关键线人，参与观察和分析报告的公共会议在乌拉圭西南部的两个社区，本文探讨了社区身份是如何与是否和/或如何社区回应。这项比较研究的结果突出了影响社区身份的经济和政治方面如何限制或促进社区治理和复原力。
ABSTRACT Since the beginning of the 21st century, rural communities in southwestern Uruguay have responded differently to agri-environmental challenges created by increases in the production of genetically modified crops. Resilience literature highlights the importance of community identity on local responses, but little has been explored about how economic and political aspects that characterize community identity influence community governance to address local environmental challenges. Based on historical texts, interviews with key informants, participant observation and analysis of reports from public meetings in two communities of southwestern Uruguay, this article explores how community identities were related to whether and/or how communities responded. Results from this comparative study highlight how economic and political aspects influencing community identity could either constraint or facilitate community governance and resilience.
