人类地理学家已经产生了一个多样化的,不断增长的,文献记录的存在和空间的后果。然而,评论解释和评估地理学家如何概念化和经验验证空间的相似性,沿着该领域的紧张局势和潜在的方向,是缺乏的。本文通过评估地理学的空间想象文学来解决这一差距。我确定了文献中的共同特征,而地理学家认为,事实上,验证了三种不同的空间空间结构:空间结构的地方,理想化的空间和空间转换。本文建议研究者更好地解释这三个,他们的区别和联系。我还解释和评价了地理学的四个相互竞争的概念的空间概念的本体论。一些地理学家认为它们是符号学的秩序,其他地理学家认为它们是世界观,但空间概念主要被视为表征话语。然而,最近,一些地理学家认为它们是施为话语。本文主张将空间行为视为表演性的;认为这种观点-除其他外-澄清了空间行为与物质实践之间的联系,同时为该领域提供了新的研究方向。
Human geographers have produced a diverse, and growing, body of literature documenting the existence and consequence of spatial imaginaries. However, reviews explaining and evaluating how geographers conceptualize and empirically verify spatial imaginaries, along with the field's tensions and potential directions, are lacking. This article addresses this gap by assessing geography's spatial imaginary literature. I identify shared features across the literature, while arguing geographers have, in fact, verified three different kinds of spatial imaginaries: imaginaries of places, idealized spaces, and spatial transformations. The article recommends researchers better account for these three, both their differences and relationalities. I also explain and evaluate geography's four competing conceptions of spatial imaginaries' ontology. Some geographers see them as semiotic orders, other geographers believe them to be worldviews, yet spatial imaginaries are predominantly viewed as representational discourse. Recently, however, some geographers have argued them to be performative discourses. This article advocates viewing spatial imaginaries as performative; arguing this view – among other things – clarifies the association between spatial imaginaries and material practices while offering new research directions for the field.
