文化、青年生活与异托邦——智慧山生活街区建构的文化路径分析

Culture,Youth Life and Heterotopia——Analysis of the Cultural Roadmap of the Construction of the Neighborhood of Wisdom Hills

天津智慧山是由地域、时代和文化共同构成的城市空间,也是一种特殊的青年文化现象。作为一个正在不断生长的街区,智慧山将人工式的自然氛围与青年象征融合在一起,并在日常生活和节庆活动中凸显青年的主流表达。但实际上,智慧山所呈现出来的更多是作为共同体的幻觉,通过消费所带来的趣味性聚集和分割着人群,是由消费、浪漫和乌托邦想象共同构筑起来的空洞编码。智慧山所带有的乌托邦理想并不是对美好生活的全景式观照,而是片段式、孤岛式的异托邦实践。

Tianjin Wisdom Hills is an urban space,combining the neighborhood,times and culture altogether.It is also a special phenomenon of youth culture.As a growing neighborhood,Wisdom Hills combines artificial natural atmosphere with youth symbol,and highlights the mainstream expression of youth in daily life and festival activities.But in fact,what Wisdom Hills presents is more an illusion of community.The gathering and division of residents can be attained through the fun brought by consumption.It is a hollow code jointly constructed by consumption,romance and utopian mentality.The utopian ideal carried by Wisdom Hills is not a panoramic view of a better life,but a fragmented and isolated practice of Utopia.
