This article probes the crucial role of the body, embodiment, and sensation in the way people encounter large-scale processes of climate change in the city of Rotterdam, the Netherlands. Exploring how urban denizens in one of the more temperate regions of the world come to know, speak, and conceptualize climate change in their everyday life, we aim to revitalize a conceptual engagement with embodiment and sensation as meaningful modes of knowing and situating the large-scale realities of climate change. Drawing on a series of group conversations with diverse urban dwellers, we empirically (1) highlight moments, settings, and practices within which climate change is sensed as a local and material reality; (2) trace recurring epistemological questions and anxieties that arise around the register of sense-able experience; and (3) show how moments, settings, and practices within which climate change appears as a sense-able reality generate novel forms of what we coin climatic care practices, in which people try to modulate and manage their exposure to changing climatic conditions in the city. In our conclusion, we underscore the multiple and fragmented character of climate change in the everyday lives, knowledges, and practices of these city dwellers; reflect on methodological possibilities to further address climate change as an everyday reality in Western urban settings; and emphasize the urgency of attuning to climate change as a sensed, in addition to a cognitively known or contested, reality at the level of social theory as well as policy-making.

感知和理解西欧城市环境中的气候变化：身体暴露、不确定的认识论和气候护理实践


本文探讨了身体、体现和感觉在荷兰鹿特丹市人们遭遇大规模气候变化过程中的关键作用。探索世界上较为温和的地区之一的城市居民如何在日常生活中了解、谈论和概念化气候变化，我们的目标是振兴与体现和感觉的概念接触，作为了解和定位大气候的有意义的模式。气候变化的规模现实。通过与不同城市居民的一系列小组对话，我们凭经验（1）强调气候变化被视为当地和物质现实的时刻、环境和实践； （2）追踪可感知经验记录中反复出现的认识论问题和焦虑； （3）展示气候变化作为可感知现实出现的时刻、环境和实践如何产生我们所说的气候护理实践的新形式，在这些实践中，人们试图调节和管理他们在环境中不断变化的气候条件的暴露。城市。在我们的结论中，我们强调气候变化在这些城市居民的日常生活、知识和实践中的多重性和碎片化特征；反思进一步应对西方城市环境中的日常现实气候变化的方法可能性；并强调在社会理论和政策制定层面上，除了认知上已知或有争议的现实之外，将气候变化视为一种可感知的现实的紧迫性。
