摘要
Recent critical scholarship has brought attention to local resistance in the spaces of adaptation, with reported instances of local communities rejecting planned adaptation interventions around the world. As adaptation funding is only expected to grow, so should our understanding of this resistance. In this article, I investigate one such dispute where residents of a small village in S & atilde;o Tom & eacute; and Pr & iacute;ncipe refused to participate in an adaptation project implemented by the national government and the United Nations Development Programme. I ground my analysis in the literature on post-politics and discuss the community's resistance as a Ranci & egrave;rian "political interruption" of the post-political adaptation configuration in the country. I also investigate the factors that arguably led to local resistance, including the residents' disillusion with what I term Big Development, and their political subjectivation through a local grassroots initiative. The paper concludes with reflections on countering the post-politics of adaptation as a prerequisite for more democratic and equitable local climate governance. Recentes estudos cr & iacute;ticos chamaram a aten & ccedil;& atilde;o para a resist & ecirc;ncia local nos espa & ccedil;os de adapta & ccedil;& atilde;o, com relatos de casos de comunidades locais que rejeitaram interven & ccedil;& otilde;es de adapta & ccedil;& atilde;o planeadas em todo o mundo. Como se espera que o financiamento da adapta & ccedil;& atilde;o s & oacute; aumente, o mesmo deve acontecer com a nossa compreens & atilde;o desta resist & ecirc;ncia. Neste artigo, investigo uma dessas disputas, na qual os residentes de uma pequena comunidade em S & atilde;o Tom & eacute; e Pr & iacute;ncipe se recusaram a participar num projeto de adapta & ccedil;& atilde;o implementado pelo governo nacional e pelo Programa das Na & ccedil;& otilde;es Unidas para o Desenvolvimento. Baseio a minha an & aacute;lise na literatura sobre p & oacute;s-pol & iacute;tica e discuto a resist & ecirc;ncia da comunidade como uma "interrup & ccedil;& atilde;o pol & iacute;tica" Ranci & egrave;riana da configura & ccedil;& atilde;o de adapta & ccedil;& atilde;o p & oacute;s-pol & iacute;tica no pa & iacute;s. Tamb & eacute;m investigo os factores que potencialmente levaram & agrave; resist & ecirc;ncia local, incluindo a desilus & atilde;o dos residentes com o que designo por Big Development, assim como a sua subjetiva & ccedil;& atilde;o pol & iacute;tica atrav & eacute;s de uma iniciativa local de base. O artigo conclui com reflex & otilde;es sobre como contrariar a p & oacute;s-pol & iacute;tica da adapta & ccedil;& atilde;o como um pr & eacute;-requisito para uma governa & ccedil;& atilde;o clim & aacute;tica local mais democr & aacute;tica e equitativa.
