刍议城市传播研究的空间进路

On the Spatial Approach to Urban Communication Studies

社会科学的"空间转向",使得学者对于城市历史和时间、社会关系和结构的关注转移到空间上来,开始关注城市的空间性、社会诸过程与空间形式之间的相互作用以及建立社会—空间辩证法的多种可能性的问题,这引发对城市传播研究的空间进路的思考。空间进路引入城市传播研究的前提是把学者普遍忽视的城市实体空间作为研究对象,在此基础上对城市中人与人、人与物、物与物这三个层面传播关系和互动关系生成的城市传播影响力进行重新考量,有助于建立城市传播研究范式。

The spatial turn of social science has transferred the scholar' s attention on history,time and social relationship and structures of cities to that on the interaction between spatiality,the social process and spatial patterns as well as the multiple possibilities to establish the social-spatial dialectics,which gives rise to thinking about the spatial approach to urban communication studies. The premise to introduce spatial approach into urban communication is to take the physical space as research object,which used to be neglected by scholars. Based on the premise,the communicative relationship and interaction between the three levels,namely people-people,people-substance and substance-substance generate the urban communication powers,which should be reviewed. As a result,it will benefits the establishment of urban communication paradigm.
