| Abstract (English): |
This paper explores the more-than-human politics of a community garden in Rotterdam, as an expression of sustainable and resilient city making. Challenging the anthropocentrism underlying most research on the politics of urban sustainability/resilience and urban gardening, the paper proposes a more-than-human assemblage approach to urban gardening politics. I argue that urban gardens can be understood as more-than-human configurations and conceptualised as urban garden assemblages. Such assemblages are processes with different temporalities and types of agencies (insects, plants, soil and fences) and can be analytically understood as more-than-human: (1) relations and performances; (2) power hierarchies/resistances; and (3) ethical co-becomings. Building on participatory ethnography, interviews and (online) documents, the paper then presents an empirical account of the Gandhi-garden, a community garden in Rotterdam, embedded in the global Transition Towns movement. The empirical case shows how mundane acts of pulling weeds and using permacultural planting methods are more-than-human place-making practices. It also highlights how, for example, human–soil, human–seed and human–bee entanglements challenge urban neoliberalism while gardeners experiment with sustainable food and a non-violent economy. The paper illustrates the ethico-political expressions of more-than-human community gardening through solidarity bonds with Palestine via olive trees and non-violence thinking, as well as some human/non-human ambivalences when dealing with dog waste and potentially harvest-stealing birds. Finally, the paper presents some reflections and contributions regarding scholarship in the fields of urban gardening, and sustainable/resilient city making. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |

本文对荷兰鹿特丹市的一个社区田园超越人类的政治进行了探讨，将其作为可持续的、有复原力的城市建设的表达。大多数关于城市可持续性/复原力以及城市田园的政治研究，都是以人类中心主义为基础的，本文对那些研究中隐含的人类中心主义提出了质疑，并针对城市田园政治提出了一种超越人类的集聚方法。本文认为我们可以将城市田园理解为超越人类的配置，并将其概念化为城市田园集聚体。这种集聚是具有不同时间性、有不同类型的主体（昆虫、植物、土壤和栅栏）参与的过程，可以通过分析理解为超越人类的：（1）关系和表现； (2) 权力等级/阻力； (3) 道德共生。然后，本文以参与式民族志、访谈和（在线）文件为基础，对甘地田园（鹿特丹市的一个社区田园，该田园被纳入了全球"转型城镇"运动）进行了实证分析。本文通过该实证案例展示了拔草、使用永久栽培种植方法等平凡行为是如何成为超越人类的场所营造实践的。本文还强调了人类与土壤、人类与种子和人类与蜜蜂之类的复杂关系如何挑战城市新自由主义，而田园工作者则是可持续食品和非暴力经济的实验者。本文阐述了通过橄榄树和非暴力思维与巴勒斯坦建立团结纽带来实现超越人类的社区田园的伦理政治表达，以及在处理狗排泄物和可能会偷窃人类劳动成果的鸟类时，表现出的一些人道/非人道的矛盾心理。 最后，针对城市田园和可持续的/有复原力的城市建设领域的学术研究，本文提出了一些思考和贡献。 [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
