签到即记忆:移动媒介的空间实践与意义生产

To Check-in is to Remember: Spatial Practice and Meaning Production through Mobile Media

空间与记忆之间的实践和理论关联一直是现代社会中颇受瞩目的命题。移动媒介的出现,使空间与记忆趋于同构,为理解移动性、空间、记忆和媒介之间的理论关联提供了新的契机和可能性。文章致力于以移动媒介建构的传播空间为分析对象,考察了其中开展的以签到(check-ins)为代表的数字化记忆实践及其内涵,并以空间性、移动性、记忆实践和记忆动员等概念和理论体系为分析框架,讨论了移动媒介为空间与记忆的关系带来了何种新的理论与实践解释,以此增进对记忆的实践、传播及其空间和边界问题的理解。

The practical and theoretical association between space and memory has always been a highly discussed proposition in modern society. Meanwhile,the co-construction of space and memory facilitated by mobile media provides new occasions and possibilities to examine the theoretical associationsbetween mobility,space,memory and the media. Taking check-ins as an example,this paper attempts to analyze the digitalized memory practice in the communication sphere constructed by mobile media,discussing new theoretical and practical explanations between space and memory within the conceptual framework of spatiality,mobility,memory practice and memory mobilization,to deepen the answers to the questions raised by practice,communication,as well as the space and boundaries of memory.
