Plural Ecologies in Conflict

人与环境的关系是东南亚最紧迫的研究领域之一。这一人类学家网络在三年内举办的六次讲习班上探讨如何综合关于该区域人类与环境关系的各种理论和数据，以便立即用于实际用途，并用于更大的后续项目。这些关系的转变是通过六个摩擦领域来实现的：1。地方、科学和国家渠道的环境知识之间的摩擦，以及战略上的无知;2.法律多元化，使人们能够有区别地获得资源;3.空间改造及其在城市和农村环境中的使用;4.地方和全球两级可持续性和环境影响的相互冲突的概念;5.地方宇宙论和全球化宗教中的环境概念之间的摩擦;6.所有这些摩擦领域都有助于产生多元生态，这种生态以有区别而且往往是相互矛盾的方式将各种人类和非人类融合在一起。

Human-environment relations are among the most urgent fields of research in Southeast Asia. This network of anthropologists inquires, in six workshops spread over three years, how the heterogeneous theories and data on human-environment relations in the region can be synthesized, in regard to at once for practical use and in respect to a larger follow-up project. The transformations of these relationships are approached by six areas of friction:1. friction between local, scientific and state-channeled knowledge on the environment, also in regard to strategic ignorance;2. diverging pluralisms of law which enable differentiated access to resources;3. transformations of space and its use in urban and rural contexts;4. conflicting concepts of sustainability and environmental effects on local and global levels;5. frictions between concepts of the environment in local cosmologies and in globalized religions;6. the connections between changes in environmental and gender relationships.All these fields of friction contribute to the production of plural ecologies, which integrate diverse human and non-human beings in a differentiated and often contradictory manner.
