通过亚北极地区的民族志故事引入生态意义建构概念,并重新分析曼恩峡谷火灾数据,指出生态嵌入性有助于意义建构,而无法理解细微生态线索会带来隐藏的脆弱性。

Abstract

Karl Weick's classic study of “sensemaking” showed that there is much to be learned from a wildland fire. In this tradition, we present an ethnographic tale from the subarctic to introduce the concept of ecological sensemaking—the process used to make sense of material landscapes and ecological processes. We then reanalyze data from the Mann Gulch fire and conclude that ecological sensemaking and ecological materiality were underappreciated dimensions of this historic tragedy. Comparisons of incidents and actors suggest that ecological embeddedness enables sensemaking and that inability to make sense of subtle ecological cues introduces hidden vulnerability.
