本文通过对2010年夏天在Ebbw Vale举行的音频步行项目的考虑，探讨了公众参与的空间实践。在当前的政治气候下，公众参与往往被视为一种普遍的利益，一种展示“专家”与其多方面公众之间存在的富有成效的对话的方式。然而，正如科学传播研究所表明的那样，这有点误导，因为“公众参与”一词掩盖了各种各样的项目和倡议，这些项目和倡议在参与的程度、方法和有效性上各不相同。在本文中，我们认为，这些批评中缺少的是对我们的公众参与实践的“放置”和“间隔”的关注：我们在哪里工作，我们与谁合作以及我们如何工作都会影响公众参与的性质，意义和有效性。借鉴空间实践的理念，本文探讨了Ebbw Vale音频步行项目的情景化实践。
This paper explores the spatial practices of public engagement through the consideration of an audio walk project that took place in Ebbw Vale in the summer of 2010. In the current political climate public engagement is often seen as a universal good, a way of demonstrating the productive dialogues that exist between ‘experts’ and their manifold publics. As studies in science communication have shown, however, this is a little misleading, for the term ‘public engagement’ masks a great diversity of projects and initiatives, which vary in the degree, methods and effectiveness of their engagement. In this paper, we argue that what is missing from many of these critiques is an attentiveness to the ‘placing’ and ‘spacing’ of our public engagement practices: where we work, who we work with and how we work all affect the nature, meaning and effectiveness of public engagement. Drawing on the idea of spatial practices, this paper explores the situated doing of the Ebbw Vale audio walk project.
