低碳农业——中国农业发展的必然选择

进入新世纪新阶段,我国在社会经济领域取得了长足的发展,工业化、城镇化进程不断向前推进,相对而言,农业问题却日益突出。通过对农业重要性的认识,以及对农业发展制约因素的分析,得出在工业化、城镇化趋势不可扭转,温室气体的过量排放带来的全球气候变暖的情况下,发展低碳农业是农业可持续发展的必然选择。     

天津市建设低碳型城市的思考与建议

城市作为人类经济、社会活动的集中地,是低碳发展理念的实践主体。天津市是一座人口密集、一次能源资源稀缺、环境容量有限的特大型城市。随着天津经济的快速增长,碳排放强度虽然降低,但碳排放总量和规模持续增大,天津面临的减排困难很大。天津要建设低碳型城市,应当发展低碳能源与低碳型消费,倡导低碳生活方式,营造低碳社会氛围,实施低碳城市发展战略是天津经济发展的战略选择。     

在地而新：地方营造视角下的乡村新生活方式建构

在传统、单一的生产效益比较视野下,乡村与城市通常被视为现代化发展的两端。实质上,城乡二者作为两种异质的聚落空间形态,最终服务的是人之生活本身。在这一意义上,乡村可被化约为人在世敞开的经验场域,城乡进而呈现为“一体两面”的关系。引鉴地方营造这一理论视角加以深入分析,乡村振兴最为根本的目的是要通过乡村社群主体的建构,对乡村集体场域进行再标识,藉由文化发展等更新塑造出乡村新生活方式,进而在体现美好生活新要求、完成乡村建设新使命、塑造乡村新业态、化育乡村文化新母体等四“新”方面上加以再造,最终基于乡村这一地域实现人与人、人与地的在地化平衡与自洽更新。     

Negotiating an agentive identity in a British lifestyle migration context: A narrative positioning analysis

This paper presents an analysis of agency and positioning in a context of British migration in the Ariège département of south‐west France. A narrative positioning framework is used to explore the relationship between local discursive positioning and broader social obligations, specifically by integrating data from an online forum for British residents with an interview carried out with two forum users. Although there is thematic coherence across the datasets, particularly in relation to the social obligation to be the ‘right kind’ of migrant, the two speakers in the joint interview represent their actions using conflicting approaches. The analysis of agentive positioning shows the strategic use of both agentive and inagentive language where the narrated actions did not align with those of the ‘right kind’ of migrant constructed by forum members. The study shows how attempts at positive self‐representation can reflect awareness of the ideological context but can nevertheless be interpreted in very different ways. The paper concludes that we should not restrict ourselves to seeking recurrent and stable patterns when exploring indexical links between micro contexts and wider social reality, particularly when the interactional context is overshadowed by a broader moral landscape.     

Rooted in relative privilege: US ‘expats’ in Granada,Nicaragua

This article investigates how US citizens living in Granada, Nicaragua, negotiate transnational belonging. Best known for a revolution and covert US intervention, Nicaragua, and in particular, the colonial town of Granada, has become a popular site for settlers from the Global North. Similar to other cases of ‘lifestyle migration’, these migrants enjoy spacious homes, maids, and upscale restaurants in a country ranked second poorest in Latin America, and governed by none other than El Comandante Ortega himself. They do not sever ties with their homeland, and form strong attachments in their new land. Fieldwork conducted in 2016 reveals that despite their international mobility, cosmopolitanism does not characterize how these migrants belong in the world. Instead, they practice privileged transnationalism in which their economic, political, and cultural power relative to that of their hosts facilitates both their mobility and their comfortable sense of rootedness in their sites of origin and settlement.     

‘Not that kind of atheist’: scepticism as a lifestyle movement

This article examines atheist activists from a lifestyle movement perspective. I focus on how atheist activists adopt the term ‘sceptic’ as a distinct identity marker to represent their growing interest in other types of activism beyond atheist community building and criticism of religious beliefs. My data come from thirty-five interviews with Canadian atheist activists and participant observation in the province of Alberta. In contrast to previous social movement approaches to atheist activism, I deemphasize the importance of collective identity and instead attend to personal identity as the site of social change. My findings show that being a sceptic is a personally meaningful identity in the context of a relatively weak secularist collective identity. Moreover, atheist activists who also identify as sceptics wish to expand the boundaries of the atheist movement to include individualistic projects of personal affirmation based on science and critical thinking. This work contributes to our understanding of the everyday activities of activists who engage in individual action in the absence of a strong collective identity. In particular, this article expands our understanding of lifestyle movements beyond the current focus on socially conscious consumption. Instead, I return to the roots of lifestyle movement theory, that is, how one’s everyday choices serve as a form of protest. Finally, this work contributes to atheism scholarship, which has neglected the diversity of individual identities within atheist organisations and among atheist activists.     

‘The endless winter’: transnational mobilities of skilled snow sport workers

This article takes up Newman and Falcous’ (2012) challenge to move sport migration studies beyond the career-based travels of the sporting elite and to ‘cultivate new accounts of the affects of global sport mobility on the experiences’ of a wide range of people involved in sporting cultures and industries (48). Working at the intersection of sport migration and lifestyle mobilities scholarship, this paper focuses on the seasonal migration experiences of passionate skiers and snowboarders who have dedicated many years to working in ski resorts as instructors, terrain park-crew, and managers. Drawing primarily upon in-depth interviews with six long-term snow sport workers, the author examines the opportunities, constraints and negotiations of those following the winter between the hemispheres for work and leisure, as well as those who have transitioned out of this highly mobile career. She concludes by examining how snow sport participants’ transnational experiences influence their emotional connections to place and understandings of ‘home’ well after their careers in the snow sport industry have come to an end.     

Swinging high or low? Measuring self-esteem in swingers

This study sought to examine the self-esteem of individuals involved in a consensually non-monogamous relationship, the swinging lifestyle. Utilizing the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, the self-esteem of swingers was quantified and compared to a general sample. The results reveal that swingers have higher self-esteem. However, gender differences emerged in post hoc analyses whereby men who engage in swinging have higher self-esteem, but women who engage in swinging have self-esteem comparable to others. Results are discussed in terms of evolutionary and clinical importance. Limitations and future directions are also discussed.
