中文摘要 |
近來由於人類世(anthropocene)地質時代的出現,突顯了人類(拉丁語為「智者」之意)這種獨特生物在地球的主導地位。在這個脈絡下,有個問題經常被提出:全球南方的城市生態要素,與全球北方的城市生態要素有何不同?作者提出一個看似奇異的概念:我們應該對都市生態抱持著多樣化的觀點,尤其在這個號稱「人類世」的廣闊紀元中,世界各地的都市區域,卻展現出相似的特性時。本文章指出,城市生態學的觀點在任何地方都應該是相似的,儘管並非完全相同。根據作者的說法,全球南方和全球北方之間的差異是文化視角的差異,而不是城市生態視角的差異。為了特別強調亞洲背景下的文化觀點差異,作者討論了印度(Hindu)和佛教傳統中強調的「合一(梵文:Ekatmata)」,或「不二(梵文:Advaita)」、以及「世界一家(梵文:Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam)」與「不害(梵文:Ahimsa)」以及「依緣起源」(梵文:Pratītyasamutpāda;巴利文:Paticcasamuppāda)。作者得出的結論是,無論是南方或北方的城市,以及人類和所有形式的生命,若想要繼續生存在地球上,就必須重拾尊重和關懷自然的文化。 |
英文摘要 |
The recent advent of the widely accepted geological era, which we call the anthropocene, underlines the dominance of a single living species on planet Earth-that is of Homo sapiens (Latin for "wise man"). In this context, a question is often asked: How the elements of urban ecology in the Global South are different from that of the Global North? In response, the author argues that it is seemingly a strange notion that there should be different perspectives on urban ecology, especially when urban areas worldwide exhibit similar characteristics in the anthropocene. The article emphasizes that the perspectives on urban ecology should be similar-if not outrightly the same- everywhere. The difference between the Global South and Global North, according to the author, is that of cultural perspectives, and not that of urban ecological perspectives. To underscore the difference of cultural perspectives, especially in the Asian context, the author discusses examples from the Indian (Hindu) and Buddhist Traditions that emphasize "oneness" (Sanskrit: Ekatmata), "non-duality" (Sanskrit: Advaita), "the world is one family" (Sanskrit: Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam), "non-violence" (Sanskrit: Ahimsa), and "dependent origination" (Sanskrit: Pratītyasamutpāda; Pali: Paticcasamuppāda). The author concludes that the culture of respect and care for nature will have to be brought back if the cities of the South, as well as those of the North-and, for that matter, humanity and all forms of life-have a chance of survival on planet Earth. |
