米歇尔·德·契尔图对现代城市的描述强调了居民们所做的和所做的事情，试图让一座城市更好地适应一种抵抗的艺术。然而，在关注这种行为和创造的过程中，德·瑟托在很大程度上忽视了城市生活中跌倒和情感的维度。爱德华·凯西提供了一种令人信服的方式来探究这些情感维度，区分日常生活中的“厚”和“薄”。厚厚的地方是在情感、习惯和实践的覆盖中精心设计的，提供了个人充实和深化情感体验的机会。凯西的工作恢复了地方的情感繁殖力，即使它未能提供一个清晰的感觉，可以识别出多厚的地方。本文提出了这一挑战，试图阐明情感和实践在场所的产生中的作用。本文首先回顾了这个地方的实际和情感层面，然后转向最近在加拿大温哥华完成的关于年轻人、地方和城市生活的民族志记述。本研究探讨了年轻人协商和改变场所的方式，以及这些做法对自我和归属感特征取向的影响。地点的体验被发现涉及一系列情感的接力，在私人地点的培育和指定空间的谈判之间。在这些交流中创造的情感氛围帮助参与者将狭小的或指定的空间转变为动态的厚实地方。文章最后讨论了密集场所在城市环境下创新青年发展努力的设计中可能发挥的作用。
Michel de Certeau's account of the modern city emphasises the 'doing' and 'making' residents undertake in an attempt to render a city more amenable to an 'art' of resistance. Yet, in attending to this doing and making, de Certeau has largely ignored the fell and affective dimensions of city life. Edward Casey provides a compelling means of interrogating these affective dimensions, distinguishing 'thick' and 'thin' places in everyday life. Thick places are contrived in the imbrications of affect, habit, and practice, presenting opportunities for personal enrichment and a deepening of affective experience. Casey's work restores the affective fecundity of place, even if it fails to provide a clear sense of how thick places might be identified. This paper takes up this challenge in an attempt to clarify the role of affect and practice in the production of place. The paper first reviews the practical and affective dimensions of this place-making before turning to an ethnographic account of young people, place, and urban life recently completed in Vancouver, Canada. This study explored the ways young people negotiate and transform place and the impact these practices have on the characteristic orientations of self and belonging. The experience of place was found to involve a series of affective relays between the cultivation of private places and the negotiation of designated spaces. The affective atmospheres created in these exchanges helped participants transform thin or designated spaces into dynamic thick places. The paper closes with a discussion of the role thick places might play in the design of innovative youth development efforts in urban settings.
