西方人文地理学文献中的“家”

Home in Literatures of Western Human Geography

为了探讨具有"中国特色"的流动人口与城镇化的相互影响,对1998年以来国际人文地理学期刊所刊载相关论文进行分析,归纳出西方人文地理学中有关"家"研究的两个层面:一是家的两重性,即作为物质与想象的家,包括跨界移民和家的重构、特定家屋空间和家的互动、家庭物质文化和家的内在联系;二是家、身份与权力,包括家和身份、家和权力之间的内在联系。基于国内地理学对"家"的研究现状,认为国内需借鉴西方已有成果。西方文献的立足点和研究的起点基本上是个体的家,而在中国,个人隐藏于家中,家成为个人身份外在化的符号,家内的人与物都被视为一个有机的整体。这种家本位意识必然导致对个体的忽视。因而,未来在国内开展的研究应格外重视不同尺度上家的涵义,并以此为起点和立足点开展相应的工作。

In order to explore the interrelationship between the floating population and the urbanization in China,this paper analysis related articles which published on major international human geography journals since1998,and summarizes two aspects related to"home"studies: The first and foremost is the material and imaginative home,including the refactored home,the particular space and the material culture in home; The second is the intertwining of home,identify and power,including the relationship between home and identify,home and power.Learning from the Western is necessary while considering the current research situation of geographies of home in China. The foothold and the starting point of the studies of the Western literatures are basically the individual home,however in China,individuals are hidden in home,home is a personal identity of the external symbols,the family of people and things are regarded as an organic whole. This "family standard"consciousness will inevitably lead to the neglect of the individual. Therefore,the future researches carried out in China should pay special attention to home on multi-scalar,and take it as a starting point and foothold to carry out the corresponding work.
