Mega-damming, pollution and depletion endanger rivers worldwide. Meanwhile, modernist imaginaries of ordering 'unruly waters and humans' have become cornerstones of hydraulic-bureaucratic and capitalist development. They separate hydro/social worlds, sideline river-commons cultures, and deepen socio-environmental injustices. But myriad new water justice movements (NWJMs) proliferate: rooted, disruptive, transdisciplinary, multi-scalar coalitions that deploy alternative river-society ontologies, bridge South-North divides, and translate river-enlivening practices from local to global and vice-versa. This paper's framework conceptualizes 'riverhood' to engage with NWJMs and river commoning initiatives. We suggest four interrelated ontologies, situating river socionatures as arenas of material, social and symbolic co-production: 'river-as-ecosociety', 'river-as-territory', 'river-as-subject', and 'river-as-movement'.
大型水坝建设、污染和水资源枯竭危及全球河流。与此同时，将“不羁的水域和人类”进行有序管理的现代主义想象已成为水利官僚和资本主义发展的基石。它们将水文/社会世界分隔开来，使河流公共文化边缘化，并加深了社会环境的不公正。但无数新的水正义运动（NWJMs）不断涌现：这些运动扎根基层、具有颠覆性、跨学科且多尺度，它们构建了替代性的河流与社会本体论，弥合南北分歧，并将激活河流的实践从地方推广至全球，反之亦然。本文的框架将“河流性”概念化，以与新的水正义运动和河流公共化倡议相结合。我们提出了四种相互关联的本体论，将河流社会自然定位为物质、社会和象征共同生产的场所：“河流即生态社会”、“河流即领土”、“河流即主体”以及“河流即运动”。
