从历史性到实践性:滇缅公路空间生产与转向

From Historic to Practical: Spatial Production and Turn of Burma Road

道路空间生产与资源互通、人口流动、社会交往等因素相关联已是不争的事实。滇缅公路空间生产中边疆地区国家化勾连的重要历史虽然被凸显,也丝毫不能遮蔽其物理性空间实体背后的社会性。若想打破传统研究视滇缅公路为通行载体的刻板印象,得从社会学角度讨论滇缅公路道路空间生产。这既是对以往研究的丰富,也延伸了时间视域之外道路空间生产的实践性讨论。如何在趋于复杂的社会互动背景下研究一条具体道路的空间生产是揭示与反思社会发展与文化建构的重要视角。用偏于社会学的方式研究滇缅公路,结论也多与道路空间生产形塑力和路域社会实践性相关。

It is an indisputable fact that road space production is related to resource exchange,population mobility and social interaction. Although the important history of the nationalization of the border areas in the space production of Burma Road has been highlighted,it can not hide the sociality behind its physical space entity. To break the stereotype which previous studies took Burma Road as a means of transport,discussion on the road space production of Burma Road should be conducted from the perspective of sociology. This not only enriches the previous researches,but also extends the practical discussion of road space production beyond time horizon. How to study the spatial production of a specific road in the context of complex social interaction is an important perspective to reveal and reflect on social development and cultural construction. Sociological study on The Burma Road will arrive at a conclusion that molding force of road space lives on characteristic of practice.
