本文借鉴了2016至2017年间在英格兰德比郡Shirebrook-一个相对孤立的去工业化煤矿小镇-进行的一项多方法人种学研究,考察了居民如何谈判生活在耻辱的领土上。在这样做的过程中,说明了疏远、回避和偏离的微空间策略,揭示了居民如何在被污名化的领土内的特定位置重新分配和加深污名。这突显了社会空间和物理空间之间的关系,尽管谈判的空间策略无法减轻耻辱,但它们确实(重新)在一个通过贬低叙事从外部同质化的地方(重新)产生了内部的社会等级。一项关键贡献揭示了空间的种族主义生产在塑造如何在这一独特的社会空间位置内谈判领土污名方面的重要意义。居民们使用策略,将污名重新定向到那些被视为格格不入的人身上,并将注意力从种族主义的城市污名的粘性地点转移到未受破坏的农村英国人的象征上。
This paper draws on a multimethod ethnographic study, conducted between 2016 and 2017 in Shirebrook, Derbyshire, England—a small and relatively isolated deindustrialising colliery town—examining how residents negotiate living in stigmatised territory. In doing so, microspatial strategies of distancing, avoidance, and deflection are illustrated, revealing how residents reassign and deepen stigma in particular locations within a stigmatised territory. This highlights the relationship between social and physical space, and while spatial strategies of negotiation do not mitigate stigma, they do (re)produce internal social hierarchies within a place that is homogenised from the outside through disparaging narratives. A key contribution reveals the significance of the racialised production of space in shaping how territorial stigma is negotiated within this distinct socio‐spatial location. Residents use strategies to redirect the stigma toward those seen as out of place and draw attention away from sticky sites of racialised urban stigma towards symbols of unspoilt rural Englishness.
