他者的身体实践与城市公共空间融入研究——以“麦宿者”为例

“身体”是管窥和解读社会文化现象的重要视角。基于身体地理学，探讨他者身体与城市空间之关系，可为理解边缘群体与城市公共空间融入提供有益视角。文章以长期夜宿于麦当劳餐厅的“麦宿者”为例，探讨其身体实践与城市公共空间之相互作用，以剖析边缘群体对城市公共空间融入的过程机制。研究发现：麦宿者身体特征具有鲜明的他者性，并主要通过物质性和非物质性的身体实践来与饮食空间开展协商，通过在特定时空下的弱化他者性，来实现饮食空间的融入。文章建立了他者身体与城市公共空间相互作用的理论框架，在身体实践方面对身体地理学的相关理论进行了补充。

OTHER'S BODILY PRACTICES AND INTEGRATION OF URBAN PUBLIC SPACE:A CASE STUDY OF MCSLEEPERS

Body is an important lens to observe and interpret social cultural phenomena. Based on the geography of body, to explore the relationship between the other bodies and urban spaces can provide a useful perspective for understanding the integration of marginalized groups and urban public spaces. As a kind of Other who are discrepant with dominant cultures, many homelessness spend the night at McDonald's and are called McSleepers. Based on the contradictory social phenomenon, this paper takes certain McDonald's in Zhuhai as an example, through observation and interview, from the perspective of geography of body, discusses otherness of the physical characteristics of McSleepers, and how they negotiate with and integrate into the food spaces through physical practice, so as to analyze the process mechanism of marginalized groups' integration into urban public spaces. This study argues that 1) The physical characteristics of McSleepers are distinctly otherness, which is embodied in both physical body and practical body; 2) McSleepers negotiate with the food spaces through physical bodily practice (temporal and spatial segregation) and non-physical bodily practice (the construction of self-identity, management and constraints within the group, build emotional connections with dominant groups), so as to achieve de-otherness and integration into food spaces in particular time and space. This article establishes a theoretical analysis framework of the interaction between the other bodies and the urban public spaces, and complements the theories of the geography of body in terms of bodily practices.
