随着城市环境在地球仪上的转变，关于城市性质及其未来形式的辩论提出了重要的关键问题。例如，我们如何研究城市中自然和文化的新兴动态配置？当城市化涵盖了从城市到乡村的完整空间连续体时，我们如何将城市概念化为一个实地？我们如何理解历史在一个经常被归类为前所未有的环境时代中的地位？本文追溯了政治生态学从非城市起源到现在与城市生活和形式的接触。它认为，民族志工作丰富和复杂化最近的辩论城市的过去，现在和未来，它要求更有力和更精细的人类学参与生物物理科学，规模的理论和方法的挑战，以及在历史回避的时代，现在被广泛称为人类世的历史语境化的工作。
As urban environments transform across the globe, debates over urban nature and its future forms have introduced important critical questions. How, for instance, do we study emergent, dynamic configurations of nature and culture in cities? How do we conceptualize the city as a field site when urbanization encompasses the full spatial continuum from city to countryside? How do we understand the place of history in an environmental era often categorized as unprecedented? This article traces political ecology from its noncity origins to its present engagements with urban life and forms. It argues that ethnographic work both enriches and complicates recent debates about the urban past, present, and future, and it calls for more vigorous and refined anthropological engagement with the biophysical sciences, the theoretical and methodological challenges of scale, and the work of historical contextualization in the history-evasive era now widely known as the Anthropocene.
