城市正义的文化危机与资本生产的空间限度

The Cultural Crisis on the Justice of the Urban and the Spacial Limits on the Production of the Capital

作为资本空间生产的结果与载体,现代城市结构及其日常生活景观面临正义失范与文化剥削的双重危机。一方面,个体日常交往的全部内容,被纳入资本主义生产关系的空间性再生产当中。后者凭借地域性的劳动分工以及不均衡的资源分配,使城市格局碎片化的同时,加剧了不同区间内隶属各经济部类的居民,彼此之间已然存在的正义失衡。另一方面,以"物"为尺度的异化空间,催生了更为隐蔽的文化欺骗功能。在价值多元与文化工业的杂糅中,资本主义制度以商品消费为媒介,通过对各种城市亚文化和边缘群体的塑造与利用,成功实现了自身空间组织形式的重构。因此,城市化的实质,就是资本借助文化—政治策略对日常生活进行的空间性剥削。此外,城市空间的有限性又构成资本逻辑的外在限度。一旦商品的过度消费或财富的盲目积累突破阈值,以城市解体为征兆的政治困境,必然在空间层面以文化危机的形式表现出来。鉴于此,对资本逻辑与日常生活文化图景间关系的批判性反思,可视为回应城市空间正义问题的必要路径。

As the result and carrier of the production of capital space, the modern urban structure and its daily life landscape are confronted with the double crisis of the loss of justice and the exploitation of culture. On the one hand, all the contents of the daily communication of individuals are included in the spatial reproduction of capitalist production relations. On the other hand, the alienation space on the basis of ＂object＂ has created a more subtle cultural cheating function. Therefore, the essence of urbanization is the exploitation of capital by means of cultural political strategy. In addition, the finiteness of urban space constitutes the external limit of capital logic. Once the excessive consumption of goods or the blind accumula- tion of wealth to break through the threshold, to the city as a sign of disintegration of the political dilemma, is bound to show in the form of cultural crisis in the space level. In view of this, the critical reflection on the relationship between the capital logic and the cultural landscape of daily life can be regarded as the necessary path to respond to the problem of urban spatial justice.
