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的人群，这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气候变化影响的观察(感知)上，但很少有人进行研究来理解气候变化的主要解释和当地对气候变化自然主义概念的接受。该项目将侧重于非洲裔古巴宗教对气候变化的解释和接受，以及他们对生活和环境的看法。被科学检测为气候变化影响的自然现象，被宗教牧师及其追随者以不同的方式视为神的或精神力量的能量。自然科学的气候话语和宗教概念在古巴相遇的动态是该项目的核心，将提供关于当地对气候变化的态度的新的经验数据，并对不同的世界概念及其本体论公理的交集进行理论推导。

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.
