风险社会的环境异议--以广州市民反对垃圾焚烧厂建设为例

Environmental Dissent in Risk Society:A Survey of the Anti-incinerator Action in Guangzhou

通过描述和分析广州市民反对垃圾焚烧厂建设事件,文章试图解释邻避冲突中民众的环境异议如何可能。环境异议因循风险累积、感知到社会爆发的轨迹。其间,民众规避风险的"反推断"和更为主动的"风险戏剧化"策略(包括经由互联网扩散的"风险图像"和语言"引用")使得国家风险管理的话语和行动失灵,"风险"成为公共主张。广州案例表明风险社会的环境异议成为城市问题的重要面向,开放的政治是消解异议的可能选择。

Based on a narrative and analysis of the anti-incinerator case happened in Guangzhou,the paper tries to explain the possibility of the citizens' environmental dissent in the NIMBY conflicts.It argues that the environmental dissent follows the path from risk accumulate,perceived to erupt.In this process,the citizens show their'counter-discursive'spontaneously and utilize the strategy'exhibit the risk theatrically',including the'risk image'and the discourse citation which spread on the internet,to make the risk-management discourses and actions from the state useless.Therefore,'risk'is becoming the public claim.The case suggests that environmental dissent in risk society has been an important urban question.As a result,the open politic may be the possible choice to reconcile the dissent.
