城市公园一直是有争议和矛盾的空间:高度有序和精英,但作为民主的地方和公共设施的价值。在一个新自由主义紧缩的时代,公园有更大的压力来支付自己和相关的商业化往往加剧公园用户和管理当局之间的冲突。本文重点探讨了城市公园作为商业活动场所的使用对城市公园公共性的影响。这个问题是通过伦敦的巴特西公园的案例来探讨的,该公园在2015年和2016年被用作电动方程式赛车比赛的场地。这些事件在比赛周末中断了公园的访问,但在场地组装/拆卸期间也中断了公园的访问。这些事件遭到了一个社区行动组织的抵制,该组织的竞选活动最终导致E级方程式决定停止在巴特西公园举行比赛。本文分析了如何电动方程式事件的合理性和反对使用形式的修辞分析的启发工作迈克尔Billig。与参与此案的主要利益攸关方进行了访谈,并对他们的论点进行了分析,以揭示对公园的不同思考方式。这场争论被理解为对公园是为了谁和什么的不同解释,以及对中断日常生活的影响的不同看法。电动方程式赛事减少了公众进入的机会,但围绕这些赛事的争议可以说通过引发辩论和激发当地活动家捍卫他们的公园,使巴特西公园更加公开。
Urban parks have always been contested and contradictory spaces: highly ordered and elitist, yet valued as democratic places and public amenities. In an era of neoliberal austerity there are greater pressures for parks to pay for themselves and the associated commercialisation often exacerbates conflicts between park users and managing authorities. This paper focuses on how their increased use as venues for commercial events affects the publicness of urban parks. This issue is explored via the case of Battersea Park in London, which was used as a venue for Formula E motor races in 2015 and 2016. These events disrupted park access during race weekends, but also in the periods when the venue was assembled/disassembled. The events were resisted by a community action group whose campaigning eventually resulted in the decision by Formula E to cease racing in Battersea Park. The paper analyses how Formula E events were justified and opposed using a form of rhetorical analysis inspired by the work of Michael Billig. Interviews were undertaken with key stakeholders involved in the case and their arguments were analysed to reveal different ways of thinking about public parks. The dispute is understood as one underpinned by different interpretations of who and what a park is for, and by contrasting views on the impact of interruptions to everyday routines. The Formula E events reduced public access, but the dispute surrounding the events arguably made Battersea Park more public by generating debate and by provoking local activists to defend their park.
