【副题名】媒介地理学视野下的空间想象力与城市景观

【摘要】 城市作为媒介与文化的集中生产地，一直是人们关注的对象。城市不仅是一个地理样本，也是文化样本，其中的种种景观充满了空间的隐喻。一般而言，人们对于城市的体验，除了通过触目可见的建筑、道路、区域等等现实的地理环境来实现之外，还得益于众多媒介所构筑的观念或者经验世界。于是，本研究将媒介地理学作为一种观察的视角去审视城市景观，希望能够对城市文化、城市人群、城市空间及其与媒介的关系进行解读。本研究认为，任何一种研究视野都会形成对外界的不同理解，媒介地理学只是其中之一。对于城市文化的研究涉及到许多方面，而经由媒介的中介，借助地理学的想象力，将会展现出不同的城市与文化形貌。城市与媒介相互交织而生成意义的地图。城市中的物质地理本身也是媒介的组成样式，道路、交通、建筑可以形成不同的人群与文化的空间。此外，媒介也具有双重身份，一方面是反映城市的镜子，另一方面也是城市的组成部分，构成了城市里阡陌纵横的网络。空间理论的引入，为本研究提供了重要的分析基础。借鉴列斐弗尔、福柯以及苏贾等人的空间观念，本研究将城市作为一个物质与经验交错的复杂综合体，从城市的空间层次、空间感、边界等方面进行了解读，并对于城市中的人群基于社会关系与文化身份等建立起来的群体归属空间予以关注。媒介地理学视野下的城市空间，并不排斥主观意识的影响。所以空间的想象力在本文中得到强调。在想象的地理中，城市版图中的“中心”与“边缘”、主流与“他者”、“东方”之城、异托邦等呈现出丰富的文化层理。此外，城市中的政治图景与性别、族群等社会空间也借助媒介与物质地理被构建起来，而且媒介可以视为社会群体为争夺城市地理空间的一种有效途径。全球化背景下的城市，在网络所构筑的伊托邦中，颠覆了传统的地理，模糊了原有的边界，又依托信息技术重建起新的城市面貌。这些想象的地理与地理的想象空间是本研究的重要内容。更多还原

【Abstract】 As a center of media and culture producing and expressing, city is always to be a focus in many ways. There are full of space metaphors in the description of cities. It is not only a geographic sample, but also a cultural sample. We can use our own eyes to watch and our hands to touch to get the city experiences. But now, the world that made of media gives us a new method to know more about the cities’ substantial and spiritual features. So, this research uses geography of media as a visual angle to observe the city landscape, expecting to explain the culture, space, society, and human beings in cities. There are so many aspects of city culture, and they will present all kinds of landscape and cultural maps through different media and imagination. Any kinds of research views are different ways to watch and describe the world, so they will form different points of view. Geography of media is one of them.City and media make up maps of meaning. The media includes mass media and geographic elements, such as streets, buildings, and roads. Each media has its own function in city culture. Media can shape landscape and change the appearances of cities, and it has double identities in the city. It is not only a mirror to reflect the city itself, but also a part of the city network.The introduction of Henri Lefebvre, Michel Foucault and Edward Soja’s space theories are very helpful for this research. City is a complicate space which has material and spiritual characters. Sense of space and boundaries keep a city in a perfect order. Men and women with different social relation and cultural background can find their own groups to identify themselves.In the view of geography of media, the formation of city space can not deny subjectivity. So the geographic imagination is emphasized in this dissertation. The center and margin, the mainstream and "others", east and west, Utopia and heterotopias are all mixtures of geography and culture in the lens of media. Besides, political and gender landscape are also built up. Moreover, in the background of globalization, internet subverts the traditional geography and rebuild city of "Etopia" to shape new geographic maps and develop new senses of place. These geographic imagination and imaginary geography are important contents of this dissertation.更多还原
