女性主义地理学视角下的基础设施研究进展

Progress of infrastructure research from the perspective of feminist geography

随着人类基础设施活动越来越频繁,有关基础设施对人地关系和人类社会空间结构产生的影响引发了人文地理学及其他相关学科的广泛讨论。论文系统地讨论了女性主义基础设施地理学的研究脉络及其核心议题。首先,对地理学中有关基础设施的研究文献进行了梳理,发现地理学对基础设施的研究呈现出“社会文化转向”的趋势,强调了基础设施在其功能属性之外,同时也兼具社会和文化等多重属性。其次,从女性主义地理学视角出发,强调了以性别为代表的社会核心—边缘视角在基础设施研究中的“社会文化转向”的重要价值,指出女性主义可以为分析基础设施的空间效应提供兼具微观与宏观的绝佳视角。再次,基于女性主义视角所体现出来的人类社会异质性对于其利用基础设施改造和利用环境的不同影响和路径,从基础设施生产端的性别差异以及基础设施使用端的性别差异等两个不同场域勾勒出基于性别视角的基础设施研究的主要内容。基于上述文献,论文最后搭建了一个女性主义基础设施地理学的核心概念框架以及分析思路。论文所提出的女性主义基础设施地理研究的核心框架也可为其他广泛关注女性主义话题的学者提供在更大、更宽和更广范围内进行跨学科对话的机会。

As human infrastructure activities are becoming increasingly frequent,the impact of infrastructure activities on human-land relationship and human social-spatial structure has triggered extensive discussions in human geography and other related disciplines.This study systematically discussed the research context and core issues of the feminist infrastructure geography studies.First,this study categorized the research literature on infrastructure in geography and found that the research on infrastructure in geography showed a trend of"socialcultural turn"that emphasizes that infrastructure is not only about its functional attribute,but also has multiple attributes,such as social and cultural ones.Second,from the perspective of feminist geography,this study emphasized the important value of gender and the related core-periphery perspective in the social-cultural turn in infrastructure research and pointed out that feminism can provide an excellent perspective with both micro and macro perspectives for analyzing the spatial effects of infrastructure.Third,based on the different impacts and paths of the heterogeneity of human society reflected in the gender perspective on the transformation and utilization of the environment by using infrastructure,this study outlined the main content of feminist infrastructure research based on the gender perspective from two different fields,namely,the gender difference at the producing end of infrastructure as well as at the using end of infrastructure.Based on such literature,this study finally built a core conceptual framework and analytical framework for feminist infrastructure geography studies.In the end,the developments of feminist infrastructure geography studies presented in this article also provide a good opportunity for an interdisciplinary dialogue on a larger and broader scale by other scholars broadly concerned with feminist topics.
