在过去的十年里，“Pop-up”已经成为一个无处不在的表达方式，用来指代各种临时的、流动的场所和活动。虽然弹出窗口在地理文献中越来越多地被提及，但它们很少受到关注，通常与相关形式的临时城市主义一起被提及。然而，我认为，弹出式广告需要直接关注，因为零售商、政府、文化组织和慈善机构等不同群体对这个词的接受程度表明，它的逻辑在当代城市有特殊的吸引力。纵观有关弹出窗口地理学的新兴文献，我认为，弹出窗口是一个时空正在以越来越有影响力的方式重新想象的舞台。具体地说，我将灵活性、间隔性和沉浸性确定为弹出窗口的三个关键时空想象，并探索每个想象所暗示和实现的城市过程。我认为，这些想象和分配时空的方式在以衰退和紧缩为特征的城市中具有特殊的工具作用，但也有广泛的再开发和中产阶级化。在此背景下，我探索了弹出窗口时空想象的模糊政治，考虑到它们被广泛的城市参与者动员起来的方式往往是相互矛盾的。
'Pop-up' has become a ubiquitous expression over the past decade and is used to designate a diverse range of temporary and mobile places and events. While pop-ups are increasingly noted in geographical literature they are rarely given the spotlight, usually mentioned alongside related forms of temporary urbanism. However, I argue that pop-up demands direct attention as the readiness of diverse groups including retailers, governments, cultural organisations and charities to take up the term suggests its logics have a particular purchase in contemporary cities. Surveying the emerging literature on pop-up geographies, I propose that pop-up is an arena in which space-time is being reimagined in ways that are increasingly influential. Specifically, I identify flexibility, interstitiality and immersion as three of pop-up's key spatiotemporal imaginaries and explore the urban processes which each imaginary implies and enables. I argue that these ways of imagining and distributing space-time have a particular instrumentality in cities characterised by recession and austerity but also widespread redevelopment and gentrification. Against this backdrop, I explore the ambiguous politics of pop-up's spatiotemporal imaginaries, considering the often contradictory ways in which they are mobilized by a broad range of urban actors.
