The Construction of Socialist Ecological Civilization from the Perspective of Spatial Justice Theory☉Huang Min

Spatial justice is essentially a social justice about the allocation and production of spatial resources and rights. It subverts the traditional metaphysical understanding of space and creates a new narrative paradigm of justice based on practical understanding of space. Since the 1960s， the theory of spatial justice has gone through three important historical stages of sprouting， formation and deepening development. The connotation of spatial justice has expanded from “territorial distributive justice” in the original European and American context to multiple dimensions including ecological justice， regional justice， racial equality， gender equality and so on. During the process， humanity， equality， diversity， and ecology have become four core values pursued. Spatial justice constitutes a critical reflection and alternative framework of the shaping mode of capital space. It has now become a left-wing discourse and a Marxist current transcending the European and American context and reflecting global urban injustice and imperialist hegemony. As common values of human society， the four core values in spatial justice theory are conducive to examining and promoting the construction of socialist ecological civilization. The socialist ecological civilization that conforms to spatial justice should be constructed at least in four aspects. Firstly， it should be centered on “peoples spatial power” and emphasizes the collective right to equally obtain opportunities for spatial production and development. Secondly， it should be built with equal class， spatial balance and intergenerational fairness. Thirdly， as an alternative future for industrial civilization and capitalist abstract space， it should promote differentiated spatial production characterized by localized and diverse regional economies. Fourthly， it should promote green changes in social production and lifestyle through an integrated “top-and-down” approach. If the theory of spatial justice is regarded as an academic critique of capitalist urbanization and modernity， then the construction of socialist ecological civilization may become a concrete plan to achieve the vision of spatial justice.

Exploring the High-Quality Development Path of Chinese-Style Ecological Civilization Education： Based on the Advanced International Experience in Environmental Education☉Xiang Juhu

Chinese-style ecological civilization education takes schools as the educational ground and aims to promote the harmonious coexistence between human beings and nature， which is of great significance and value for cultivating new eco-friendly individuals， improving Chinas high-quality education system， and enhancing students ecological literacy. In recent years， although Chinas ecological civilization education has made certain achievements， it still faces the development dilemma of formalization， simplification and superficiality due to insufficient attention， lack of systematic planning， inadequate understanding， etc. In the current context of ecological civilization construction， based on the analysis of foreign concepts and experiences of environmental education， China can make a strategic plan for high-quality development of ecological civilization education by improving top-level system design， establishing sound institutional mechanisms， inheriting traditional ecological wisdom， systematically planning the education system， enhancing the ecological literacy of teachers， building model schools of ecological civilization， and promoting international exchange and cooperation. This can provide important talent， knowledge and intellectual support for the construction of Chinese modernization in which man and nature live in harmony.

On Ecological Virtue☉Heng Xiaoqing & Ye Simeng

In many contexts of solving ecological problems， the emergence of ecological virtue has proposed a new path of thinking. The purpose of proposing the theory of ecological virtue is to emphasize the self transformation of human virtue based on its ecological generation and attributes. In terms of methodology， compared with the technical route of solving ecological problems with external norms， the intrinsic characteristics of ecological virtue theory can effectively avoid the dilemma of materialization caused by the externalization of ecological problems. From the perspective of logical development， the ecological dilemma awakens ecological consciousness， promotes ecological rationality， and ultimately becomes the internal basis for ecological virtue transformation. Therefore， the reconstruction of virtue on the way to ecological civilization can only be achieved by returning virtue to daily life， transforming ecological discourse， developing ecological communication practices， and redefining the scope of ecological significance.

How Can There Be a Nature for Us to Look at：A. N. Whiteheads Organic Concept of Nature and Ecological Aesthetic Construction☉Nie Chunhua

A. N. Whitehead regards nature as a collection of events that are prior to actual entities， rather than entities that exist in time and space. This organic concept of nature breaks through the formalist definition of natural beauty and promotes the understanding of natural beauty as a whole from the cosmological perspective. In Whiteheads organic philosophy， natural beauty is not just the magnificent appearance of various natural things， but the holistic correlation of nature that is presented in our experience. The essence of aesthetic pleasure is the satisfaction that human beings feel when they have mutual interaction with other beings in nature. Whitehead criticizes the approach of excluding aesthetic value from factual elements and regards aesthetic value as an attainment that is inherent in natural facts. This makes natural beauty the highest manifestation of the perfect combination of diversity and sustainability in natural ecology， thereby providing strong support for the association between natural beauty and ecology.

Beyond the Gaze： How Observation in the Nearby “Scope of ?Vision” Can Mitigate Resident-Wildlife Conflict： A Case Study of Human-Raccoon Dog Conflict in Community X of City S

☉Wu Di & Gu Jintu

As more and more wild animals live together with humans in cities， there are more frequent conflicts between them. This not only demands a higher level of urban biodiversity management， but also requires urban residents to observe and accept the wildlife in their nearby “scope of vision” and learn to coexist with their “new neighbors”. “Observation” is different from “gaze” in that the latter often suggests judgment and supervision. Moreover， observation does not confine itself to simple visual perception， but includes a living beings high sensitivity to the surroundings. This sensitivity can facilitate the flow of information and emotional connections， leading to changes in action. Therefore， it is essential to study peoples observational actions at the experiential level beyond the gaze. There are three specific dimensions of the observational action， namely behavioral perception， emotional involvement， and active practice， which differ greatly even when people observe the same species. Different observational actions have different impacts on the human-wildlife relationship. Among them， scientific and daily observations help to improve residents knowledge about wildlife and mitigate their conflicts with wildlife. This means that it is not “gaze” but a mutual observation with the other in the daily nearby scope of vision that we need to build a harmonious and friendly community where humans and other beings coexist harmoniously.

Cognitive Narrative as New Form of Analysis for Ecolinguistics☉Arran Stibbe， trans.， Wei Chen

The interdisciplinary attributes of Ecolinguistics integrate ecology， cognition， narrative and linguistics. This article aims at rediscovering and restructuring traditional stories， and rejecting the destructive narratives and promoting beneficial narratives. Firstly， the author unifies the terms related to “narrative” in the current literature， and reconsiders “narrative structure” and “narrative text” respectively from the perspective of ecology and cognition. The former is redefined as “stories in peoples minds which involve a sequence of logically connected events”， and the latter as “a specific oral telling， written work， or other expressive form， which recounts a series of temporally and logically connected events”. Secondly， the author expounds on the close relationship between “ego， ecology and origin narratives”， advocating that people should replace the pyramid-type “Anthropocentric” meme with the ecological interconnection meme， and human beings should take a more humble view of the ecological links between human beings and other species as well as the world environment. The author firmly believes that the stories retold by cognitive narrative and stored in peoples minds not only influence the way human beings think and talk， but also the way human beings behave; meanwhile， consideration of the relationships between human beings， other species， the world environment， and human behavior is not only related to the well-being of mankind and other species， but also should become one of the new form of analysis and the new research directions in ecolinguistics.

The Way out of the “Prisoners Dilemma” of ?International Environmental Cooperation：A Lesson from the Dispute over the Convention between the United States and Great Britain for the Protection of Migratory Birds in the Early 20th Century☉Zhang Yuehua

The signing of the Convention between the United States and Great Britain for the Protection of Migratory Birds in 1916 sparked great controversy among different groups in American society over international environmental cooperation， the relationship between federal contracting rights and states rights， and the conflict between citizen interests and global environmental interests. The dispute was ostensibly a debate between bird conservationists and anti-environmentalists， but it reflected a “prisoners dilemma” arising from the conflict between national interests and international environmental cooperation. Although the dispute eventually ended with the Supreme Courts decision in Missouri v. Holland， its impact has continued to this day. Learning from the controversy over the Convention between the United States and Great Britain for the Protection of Migratory Birds， governments of all countries need to change their unilateralism mentality of avoiding their international responsibilities and work together to get out of the “prisoners dilemma” of international environmental cooperation. Only by doing so can they finally make global environmental awareness take root in peoples hearts.

An Analysis of the Formation and Governance of ?Jackal Plague in the British Cape Colony in the 19th Century☉Zeng Wei

With the rapid development of sheep farming in the British Cape Colony in the 19th century， the balance among the local people， beasts and sheep was gradually broken， and the large-scale expansion of sheep farming and sheep farms finally led to the jackal plague.The governance of jackal plague underwent some adjustments as peoples understanding of the issue deepened. It went through three stages， from the governmental pest control operation to the non-governmental jackal extermination campaign and then to the movement led by government and actively supported by civilians. Although a series of measures of eliminating jackals in history laid the foundation for the disappearance of jackal plague during the South African Union period， there were also so many drawbacks that it was not until the mid-20th century that jackal plague was finally contained. Understanding the formation and governance of jackal plague in the British Cape Colony can not only deepen our understanding of globalization within the scope of the British Empire， but also inspire people to think about the interaction between humans and nature.

Green Lifestyle Research abroad in the Past 50 Years： Review and Prospects☉Wang Xiaonan

Since the 1970s， green lifestyle research has gradually become the focus and hotspot for international scholars. Foreign scholars have studied green lifestyle from different disciplinary perspectives with an inclusive scope， but it is difficult to reach a consensus due to the controversy caused by too many disciplines involved. By taking 1，702 papers related to green lifestyle on Web of Science（WOS）from 1973 to 2022 as samples， this article uses the CiteSpace software to analyze the keyword co-occurrence knowledge maps， keyword clusters， time-line views， and highlighted words in the literature based on the knowledge sociology， to review the development process of green lifestyle research vertically and compare the migration of research hotspots horizontally. It is found that the research abroad has gone through four stages of development， i.e.， embryonic， breakthrough， transitional， and developmental stages. It has also made significant contributions in five aspects： theoretical development and integration， enriched connotations， expanded scope， shifted hotspots， and improved methods. Meanwhile， it has exposed the difficulties and bottlenecks in the research. Currently， research on green lifestyle in China is just getting started and there are obvious deficiencies in both theoretical perspectives and research methods. Therefore， it is necessary to learn from and absorb the excellent research achievements made by foreign scholars， as well as to be firmly grounded on Chinese practice， and to use a multidisciplinary perspective to construct a sociological discourse system and theory with Chinese characteristics.
