无论种族隔离产生了什么样的变化，它总是会导致空间和地点的重新组织，这一事实的影响，心理学文献对这一过程的普遍忽视。本文将着手解决这一差距。借鉴对地方认同过程的研究，我们认为，取消种族隔离不仅可以改变自我和他人之间的关系，而且自我和地方之间的关系。因此，它可能被体验为一种错位：一种破坏共同的场所结构及其所维持的定位主体性形式的事件。为了发展这一想法，我们分析了一系列的采访进行了一个以前的白色，但现在多种族的海滩在南非的海滩。分析表明，如何白色受访者的故事，废除种族隔离表明一个持久的关注与损失的地方，表现在侵蚀的地方归属感，依恋和熟悉和破坏的海滩的能力，作为一个恢复性的环境的自我。这些帐户的影响，了解个人和意识形态的阻力废除种族隔离进行了探讨。本文最后认为，这个问题提供了一个机会，结合环境和社会心理学工作。(c)2004爱思唯尔有限公司保留所有权利。
Whatever other changes it engenders, desegregation invariably produces a re-organization of space and place, a fact whose implications the psychological literature on the process has generally disregarded. The present article begins to address this gap. Drawing on research on place-identity processes, we argue that desegregation may alter not only the relationship between self and other, but also the relationship between self and place. As such, it may be experienced as a form of dislocation: an event that undermines shared constructions of place and the forms of located subjectivity they sustain. In order to develop this idea, we analyse a series of interviews conducted with holiday-makers on a formerly white but now multiracial beach in South Africa. The analysis demonstrates how white respondents' stories of desegregation evince an abiding concern with the loss of place, manifest in terms of an erosion of a sense of place belonging, attachment and familiarity and an undermining of the beach's capacity to act as a restorative environment of the self. The implications of such accounts for understanding personal and ideological resistance to desegregation are explored. The paper concludes by arguing that this problem provides an opportunity to conjoin environmental and social psychological work. (c) 2004 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
