基于西方学生化理论建构的中国本土研究进展及思考

近20年来,学生化现象呈全球化趋势,与城市空间交互密切。西方城市地理学界最早关注学生化现象,并系统建构学生化理论。约10年前,该理论被引入中国,开始了本土化研究。鉴于助推学生化理论中国本土化建构的研究仍较少,本文首先介绍了中西方学生化现象及其理论建构的时代背景,阐释了针对学生化理论本土化思考的必要性及意义。随后,通过梳理西方学生化理论建构及其本土化研究,思考了中西方共同关注的理论焦点和研究理论框架,以及对研究中国学生化可能有益的研究方法。最后,文章探讨了基于中国国情的学生化概念界定思考的重要性。

RESEARCH REVIEW AND REFLECTIONS ON THE INDIGENIZATION OF WESTERN STUDENTIFICATION THEORY IN CHINESE CONTEXT

Over the last two decades, there has been a tendency toward studentification becoming a global issue and closely interacting with urban spaces. Western urban geographers were the first to pay attention to "studentification" as an urban phenomenon and start theoretical construction of it systematically. However, academic study on the indigenization process of the studentification theory in the Chinese context is still in its early stages. On account of this, this paper begins by illustrating the phenomena of studentification in the West and in China, and different historical backgrounds from which the theory of studentification has been constructed, and then goes on to demonstrate the necessity of thinking over the indigenization process of the studentification theory. By critically examining the Western and Chinese (unfledged) theoretical constructionism of studentification from the dimensions of conceptualizations, key questions, theories, and methodologies, this paper finds the theoretical emphasis that are common to both Chinese and Western research and suggests some prospective approaches and methods to study studentification in China. In particular, this paper recommends the following three theoretical focus to be worthy of attention, namely the distinct characters of transient studentification in China, the evolution of urban space towards social segregation or mix, and the future of Chinese studentification as influenced by a combination of economic, social, political, and cultural factors.
