The relational turn in the academic literature on environmental values explores ontologies that rethink the dualistic, hierarchical separations of humans from nature. In particular, the consideration of a plurality of values and ways in which humans connect to nature has brought new insights on the dynamic interconnections between people, place and environmental processes, all highly relevant for the world's sustainability challenges. However, many conceptualizations of economic practices and values are still predominantly dualistic and anthropocentric. To overcome this human-nature divide we propose a conceptual integration of relational values with assemblages of more-than-human relations, illustrated with examples from the literature and ongoing empirical research. These concepts offer a way of representing meaningful and dynamic interrelationships, including humans, physical elements, materials (e.g. technologies, tools), immaterial entities (e.g. sounds, lights, colors), and other non-human beings. We argue that such conceptual integration provides a useful framework to rethink diverse economies as the processes through which humans and non-humans co-constitute their interrelated livelihoods. With this, we extend the relational turn to research on economic human-nature connections, following the call of many scholars in the field of ecological economics to unveil non-utilitarian values and consider multiple economic agencies.

重新思考经济实践和价值观作为超越人类关系的组合

关于环境价值的学术文献中的关系转向探索重新思考人类与自然的二元、等级分离的本体论。特别是,考虑到人类与自然联系的多种价值观和方式,为人们、地方和环境过程之间的动态相互联系带来了新的见解,所有这些都与世界的可持续性挑战高度相关。然而,许多经济实践和价值观的概念化仍然主要是二元论的和以人类为中心的。为了克服这种人与自然的鸿沟,我们提出了关系价值与超人关系组合的概念整合,并通过文献和正在进行的实证研究中的例子进行了说明。这些概念提供了一种表示有意义和动态相互关系的方式,包括人类、物理元素、材料(例如技术、工具)、非物质实体(例如声音、光、颜色)和其他非人类。我们认为,这种概念整合提供了一个有用的框架来重新思考多样化的经济,将其视为人类和非人类共同构成其相互关联的生计的过程。以此,我们响应生态经济学领域的许多学者提出的揭示非功利价值和考虑多重经济主体的呼吁,将关系转向扩展到经济人与自然联系的研究。我们认为,这种概念整合提供了一个有用的框架来重新思考多样化的经济,将其视为人类和非人类共同构成其相互关联的生计的过程。以此,我们响应生态经济学领域的许多学者提出的揭示非功利价值和考虑多重经济主体的呼吁,将关系转向扩展到经济人与自然联系的研究。我们认为,这种概念整合提供了一个有用的框架来重新思考多样化的经济,将其视为人类和非人类共同构成其相互关联的生计的过程。以此,我们响应生态经济学领域的许多学者提出的揭示非功利价值和考虑多重经济主体的呼吁,将关系转向扩展到经济人与自然联系的研究。
