地方感的研究路径探索：心象运动论的方法

通过多理论思辨，本文认为地方感理论研究中，不同流派之间存在的三对矛盾：流动性与在地性的矛盾，历时性与即时性的矛盾，个体经验与集体意识的矛盾。为调和这三对矛盾，本文探索新的研究方法，即地方感的心象运动路径，主要包括以下内容：①心象与心象运动的概念；②心象运动的认识论；③心象运动论的研究方法。通过这些理论探索，提出地方感研究的新路径，为城市政府的社区管治、提升居民的归属感提供政策参考。     

跨国移民的地方感研究：以在穗非洲移民为例

本文从“地方感”这一核心概念出发，采用问卷调查、参与式观察和访谈等综合研究方法，系统地评估了在穗非洲移民对广州的城市感知特征及其内在机制。基于研究提出的五维地方感评价体系，本文得到主要结论如下：①在穗非洲移民对广州地方感的五个维度的评价中，呈现出“地方满意度>地方依赖>地方信任>地方依恋>地方认同”的总体特征；②在穗非洲移民的积极地方感主要是通过广州的物质和资源环境构建起来的；③在穗非洲移民的消极地方感则主要是通过地方信任、地方认同和地方依恋等精神维度的交流形成的；④在穗非洲移民地方感的形成路径有积极地方感和消极地方感的区别，但是它们之间的边界并不是很明显，有比较强的流变性。本文从研究对象、研究内容和研究方法上对中国的跨国移民及其地方感研究进行了拓展，为我国城市规划和建设提供一定的借鉴价值。     

环境心理学视角下中国跨境流动人口的国家感研究

随着人文地理学的“情感转向”，地缘环境也开始指向情感研究。中国的家国情怀使“国家”不仅具有政治属性，也成为一个饱含情感与地方认同的概念。本文从地缘环境的情感要素入手，援引环境心理学理论与方法，探究跨境流动背景下的国家感影响因素。结论发现：①中国海外移民国家感受到个体与社会因素制约，包括年龄、学历、公民身份、出国时长、移居国GDP和文化认同；②国家软实力提升和包容多元的地缘政策利于提升客族文化认同进而增强海外移民的国家感；③居住、网络媒体环境变化及国家间的话语博弈会引发跨境群体重新审视流动前后所处的地缘环境，直接或间接重构国家感。本文既为促进跨境流动群体与国家之间的双向接纳提供新路径，也在情感地理学方法论层面提供新思路。     

PUTTING MASSEY'S RELATIONAL SENSE OF PLACE TO PRACTICE: LABOUR AND THE CONSTITUTION OF JOLLY BEACH,ANTIGUA, WEST INDIES

Place is a central concept in geographical thought. Though places continue to play an important role as a scale and site of research, place is not widely used as a method of analysis. Doreen Massey's efforts to conceive of, first, a global and then a relational sense of place provide the foundation for such an analytic frame. However, she does not provide a research methodology. This study has two goals; the first is to provide a methodology for the application of a relational sense of place in field research. I develop that methodology through a review of Massey's epistemology of place. In accord with Massey's concerns with the imposition of more global perspectives, the proposed methodology prioritizes a weak theory perspective and balances deduction with induction. I then provide a case example of this methodology through research into labour relationships negotiated by people in a specific place, Jolly Beach in Antigua, West Indies. My second goal is to demonstrate that the particularistic findings produced through that research can contribute uniquely and critically to geographic knowledge and theory. The findings produced by this research bear importantly on a number of propositions in the current literature, including but not limited to what has been called new work, enclave economies, gendered performativity of labour, and tourist–worker dialectics in the Anglophone Caribbean. These specific findings are of interest, but are not limited to tourism studies.     

We don’t know that we don’t know what a body can do … , or Spinoza and some social lives of sonic material

ABSTRACT

This essay is about how artists, listeners and critics claim to hear life in a sound and how this suggestive, but hazily defined, provocation connects vast cultural circuits of production, technology and capital. I argue that claims to life in a sound also belie an anachronistic return to an early modern understanding of sound as particulate matter and suggest a technoscientific discourse in which sound and data are described in terms of one another. With a close engagement with microsounds – from Gilles Deleuze to computer music specialist Curtis Roads – this essay queries what sonic particulates are presumed to be when they are mapped onto Spinoza’s corpora simplicissima but processed through analogy synthesis or digital tools. In part, this essay tries to speak to a persistent separation of sonic materiality and auditory culture, in music and sound studies in which life in a sound cannot be thought apart from how life is subject to different kinds of extractions. With a return to Spinoza’s physics, this essay also retakes the often sloganized “no one knows what a body can do” to emphasize an ethical recomposition of the text in which to “know” must be as open-ended as “body” is typically emphasized to be.     

社区的邻里性本质：内涵、特征及其实践意义

社区作为社会与城市发展的践行单元,如何回归本质并形成可持续的驱动力,是社区发展的关键。基于相关研究总结,邻里性强调关系的联结、情感的认同与归属、内嵌着“我向”意识等,极具内化性特征,是社区本质的重要体现。为此,本研究结合广州15个社区的案例调研,通过因子分析法(EFA、CFA)来探究邻里性的因子结构,进而剖析现代城市语境下邻里性的深层内涵与特征,分析各类型社区的邻里性特征差异及可能的影响因素,回应相关的共同体本质理论,综合探讨邻里性的实践意义。研究总体认为,邻里性内含了“家园感”、“凝聚力”、“行动力”三大主因子,蕴含了丰富的内生驱动能量;社区应回归其邻里性本质,根据各类型社区的问题、特征与资源,培育社区自身的能量与资本,推动“内生驱动”式的良性发展。     

Engaging children to voice their sense of place through location-based story making with photo-story maps

ABSTRACT

Sense of place is neither linear nor rooted in time. One way for children to voice their sense of place is through location-based stories with plots structured in space, rather than time. Since mobile devices are already ingrained in the everyday lives of many children in the U.S., a mobile application offers a familiar medium to engage children in location-based story making. Here, we present photo-story maps, our approach to leveraging an existing story-map mobile application as a research tool to collect and analyze children’s stories about sense of place. We found that photo-story maps facilitate the organization of nonlinear location-based stories, promote an inclusive story-making process through a mobile application, support triangulation of varied digital story elements, and provide dynamic interview material. We suggest photo-story maps demonstrate the value of location-based story making and the potential of familiar mobile applications for reducing the barriers to including children in research.
