Abstract

As scholars from the fields of history, anthropology and animal studies, as well as landscape planning and management, we discuss various forms of urban and urbanising infrastructures and their political entanglements. Questioning and illuminating how various actors and their practices build and shape urban environments, we address topics ranging from the black soldier fly - used as biotechnological infrastructure to manage waste - to other nonhumans, like macaques -developing and negotiating their own urbanisms; from plants and community gardens - used as green infrastructures to provide shade and food, and social infrastructures to endure and resist - to the transportation infrastructures that humans have built to both segregate and divide, as well as to live and unite. In case studies situated across the world, we present different conceptualisations of infrastructures as complex human-nonhuman co-productions that shape the modern city.

制造城市环境:权力、抵抗与协商的基础设施

作为历史、人类学、动物研究以及景观规划和管理领域的学者，我们讨论了各种形式的城市和城市化基础设施及其政治纠葛。我们质疑并阐释了不同的参与者及其实践是如何构建和塑造城市环境的，我们讨论的主题包括黑人士兵苍蝇——被用作管理废物的生物技术基础设施——到其他非人类动物，如猕猴——发展和协商它们自己的城市化;从植物和社区花园——用作提供阴凉和食物的绿色基础设施，以及用于忍受和抵抗的社会基础设施——到人类建造的既隔离又分裂，又生活和团结的交通基础设施。在世界各地的案例研究中，我们提出了不同的基础设施概念，将其视为塑造现代城市的复杂的人类-非人类共同产物。

期刊介绍： The half-yearly journal Global Environment: A Journal of History and Natural and Social Sciences acts as a forum and echo chamber for ongoing studies on the environment and world history, with special focus on modern and contemporary topics. Our intent is to gather and stimulate scholarship that, despite a diversity of approaches and themes, shares an environmental perspective on world history in its various facets, including economic development, social relations, production government, and international relations. One of the journal’s main commitments is to bring together different areas of expertise in both the natural and the social sciences to facilitate a common language and a common perspective in the study of history. This commitment is fulfilled by way of peer-reviewed research articles and also by interviews and other special features. Global Environment strives to transcend the western-centric and ‘developist’ bias that has dominated international environmental historiography so far and to favour the emergence of spatially and culturally diversified points of view. It seeks to replace the notion of ‘hierarchy’ with those of ‘relationship’ and ‘exchange’ – between continents, states, regions, cities, central zones and peripheral areas – in studying the construction or destruction of environments and ecosystems.
