“地方”的生与死:路灯媒介、都市空间与现代性经验
The Generation and Death of Place: Street Lamp Media, Urban Space and the Experience of Modernity
【摘要】 在都市现代性的背景下,路灯被视为一种“后勤型媒介”。路灯重塑街道的时空秩序、引导人们对于都市的感知和体验,以及创造出各种现代性经验的方式,由此展示出现代都市的经验谱系。路灯的媒介性不能被简单地还原为某种建立关系和联结的功能或手段,更重要的是一种“转换”和“揭示”,也即重构人的感知结构并形塑新的经验对象的“生成性”。通过物阵和光焰的运作,路灯使街道从城市规划理论中的物质技术构造,转换为一种亲历性的经验对象,即现象学意义上的“地方”,并成为都市生活世界的基本结构。街道作为地方,与人们的情感、行动、记忆、认同、根性及其他经验范畴相勾连,表达了本真的地方态度和丰富的感官经验,“路”与“灯”也被人的意向性组织成为一个有意义的整体。而现代性的扩张加剧了街道的“无地方化”趋势,路灯也逐渐成为服务于理性主义和效率原则的技术工具,它连同被拓宽的道路和扩建的城区,引入了一种陌生的街道地理,破坏了人与人、人与地方的经验关系。透过路灯的分析,有助于重新发现那些日常生活实践中惯常化的、背景化的各种物与装置,理解其介入和影响人的生活世界的过程,并揭示现代性经验的两面性。
【Abstract】 In the context of urban modernity, by regarding street lamps as a kind of “logistical media, ” this paper analyzes the ways in which street lamps reshape the spatial-temporal order of streets, guide people’s perception and experience of the city, and create various modern experiences, thereby outlining the experience spectrum of modern cities.The medium nature of street lamps cannot be simply reduced to a certain function or means of establishing relationships and connections; more importantly, it is a kind of “transformation” and “revelation”, that is, the “generativity” of reconstructing people’s perceptual structure and shaping new experience objects.Through the operation of the array of objects and the glow of light, street lamps transform streets from the material and technical construction in urban planning theory into an experiential object with a sense of presence, that is, a “place” in the phenomenological sense, and become the basic structure of the urban life world.As a place, the street is connected with people’s emotions, actions, memories, identities, roots, and other experience categories, expressing a genuine local attitude and rich sensory experiences.The “road” and the “lamp” are also organized into a meaningful whole by people’s intentionality.However, the expansion of modernity has intensified the trend of “de-locating” streets, and street lamps have gradually become technical tools serving rationalism and the principle of efficiency.Together with widened roads and expanded urban areas, they have introduced a strange street geography, destroying the experiential relationship between people and people, and between people and places.Through the analysis of street lamps, our intention is to rediscover the various objects and devices that are routinized and backgrounded in daily life practices, understand the process by which they intervene and influence people’s life worlds, and reveal the duality of modernity experience.
