Beyond Naturalism: From perception to reception in the local population's understanding of climate change in Cuba

关于气候变化的科学论述遇到了具有非自然主义世界观念的人群，这些观念塑造了当地对这一全球环境问题的理解。虽然许多研究都集中在对气候变化影响的观察（感知）上，但很少有研究开展，以了解气候变化的整体解释和当地对气候变化自然主义概念的接受。该项目将侧重于非裔古巴宗教对气候变化的解释和接受，以及他们的生活和环境观念。自然现象，被科学发现为气候变化的影响，被宗教牧师和他们的追随者不同地理解为神圣的能量或精神力量。在古巴，自然科学的气候话语和宗教观念相遇的动态是这个项目的中心，它将为当地对气候变化的态度提供新的经验数据，并将不同的世界概念及其本体论公理的交集理论化。

The scientific discourse on climate change encounters populations with non-naturalistic world conceptions, which shape the local understanding of this global environmental problem. While much research has been focusing on the observation (perception) of climate change impacts, few studies have been undertaken to understand the emic interpretation of climate change and the local reception of naturalistic notions of climate change. This project will focus on interpretations and receptions of climate change by Afro-Cuban religions, their conceptions of life and the environment. Natural phenomena, which science detects as the effects of climatechange, are differently conceived as energies of divine or spiritual forces by religious priests and their followers. The dynamics of the encounter of the natural sciences' climate discourse and religious conceptions in Cuba are at the center of this project and will provide new emprical data on local attitudes to climate change and theorize the intersection of different conceptions of the world and their ontological axioms.
