从异地空间到异质空间——90后中国女性旅游者身体的自我建构

旅游作为休闲活动为空间中的身体实践提供了特定情境,且伴随技术迭代,旅游者可“置身”于地理实体空间与数字虚拟空间。本文选取90后中国女性为研究对象,探究其身体于旅游异地空间和虚拟异质空间中的自我建构;采用深度访谈法并对访谈文本进行扎根理论分析,研究发现：①90后女性具身化模型由内外两个维度构成,身体唤醒、身体建构等构成内部维度,场域空间、自他认知等构成外部维度;②尽管90后女性逐步唤起身体的自我意识,打破女性身体在消费主义影响下产生的“商品化”“神话化”现象,但其身体仍受到日常审美标准与他者监视的压迫。

FROM OFFSITE SPACE TO HETEROGENEOUS SPACE: THE SELF-CONSTRUCTION OF THE POST-90S FEMALE TRAVELLER' S BODY

The body in different spaces is a hot topic in human geography, and tourism as a leisure activity provides specific contexts for the body and its practices. Along with the iteration of Internet technology, tourists can be "in" the geographical physical space and digital virtual space. Focusing on female travelers who share travel photos in different social media, this study analyzes how they use their bodies for self-construction in travel contexts, involving both offsite spaces-photos of the included body taken by travelers in other places of travel-and heterogeneous spaces-the included body photos shared by the tourist in the virtual space of social media. Considering that the case population needs to have the habit and skill of sharing travel photos on social media, this paper takes post-90s women as the research object and focuses on the following research questions:What kind of self-construction do post-90s women perform through their bodies in the travel heterogeneous space? What role do their bodies play in the travel context? How do their travel photos construct their bodies in the virtual heterogeneous space of social media? Using in-depth interview method and grounded theory analysis of the interview texts, 16 categories, 7 main categories and 1 core category are extracted through open coding, main axis coding and selective coding. The study found that:1) Women "awaken" their bodies in order to break free from the constraints and break away from the everyday; 2) although the post-90s women are gradually evoking their bodies' self-awareness and breaking the "commodification" and "mythologization" of women's bodies under the influence of consumerism, their bodies are still oppressed by daily aesthetic standards and the surveillance of the other to a certain extent.
