2. 首問:
什麼是空間?
‘It is there but we don’t talk about it. And if we do, we
certainly are not expected to get technical or serious
about it’
…Edward Hall, once compared space to sex
14. 社會科學的空間轉向
Nigel Thrift 提到空間是什麼…
‘Space arises out of the hard and continuous work of
building up and maintaining collectives by bringing
different things (bodies, animals and plants,
manufactured objects, landscapes) into alignment. All
kinds of different spaces can and therefore do exist
which may or may not relate to each other.’
「空間是個持續被建立的過程,過程中可能十分複雜;
空間也是各種不同人事物的集合體;
空間與空間之間可能獨立存在也可能帶有某種關係。」
15. 四種空間?
Empirical space refers to the process whereby the
mundane fabric of daily life is constructed.
經驗的空間 →空間就是生活
Block space refers to the process whereby routine
pathways of interaction are set up around which
boundaries are often drawn.
受限的空間 →空間中有例行的互動,空間也存在既定的邊界
Image space refers to the process whereby the
proliferation of images has produced new apprehensions
of space.
想像的空間 →心中想抓住的空間
Place refers to the process whereby spaces are ordered
in ways that open up affective and other embodied
potentials.
地方 →能夠開啟情感依靠的空間
