根据拉图尔的观点,将粗糙的分类体系强加于复杂的实体有两个主要的影响:第一,分类导致社会行为者将世界筛选到体系的简单类别中;第二,潜在的关系不断颠覆体系的功能,导致越界的“杂交体”的产生。因此,分类和实体相互作用,这种相互作用塑造了分类的实践和被分类的世界。在本文中,我们研究了一个计划的空间分类和注册的计划内的空间之间的相互作用。我们发现,在战后的英格兰,为了保护“vu lnerable”农村性质的城市前进,城市和农村地区之间的分工。然而,这种划分一经实行,就被复杂的社会经济进程所超越。我们通过考虑英格兰农村保护理事会(CPRE)的活动来评估对这一违法行为的反应,CPRE是一个环境组织,在构建城乡分界线方面发挥了一定的作用。我们表明,C PRE已经回应了“悖论的生态关系的背景下,城乡分工的。”我们说明了这种“生态化”的现代主义的划分使用的例子,住房,我们认为,CPRE的生态逻辑的方法说明了如何一个新的对齐之间的“城市”和“农村”可能是一个新的和更复杂的形式的空间分类。
According to Latour, the imposition of crude classi ficatory schemes onto complex entities has two main effects: firstly, the classif ications lead social actors to sift the world into the schemes’ simple categories; secondly , underlying relations constantly subvert the schemes’ functioning, resulting in the production of transgressive ‘hybrids’. Thus, classification and entity interact and this interaction shapes both the practice of classification and the world that is cl assified. In this paper we examine the interaction between a scheme of spatial classificat ion and the spaces that are enrolled within the scheme. We show that a division between urban and rural areas was put in place in post-war England in order to protect a ‘vu lnerable’ rural nature from urban advance. However, as soon as it was imposed this di v ion was transgressed by complex socio-economic processes. We assess the res ponse to this transgression by considering the activities of the Council for the P rotection of Rural England [CPRE], an environmental group that played some considerabl part in constructing the urbanrural divide in the first place. We show that the C PRE has responded to the ‘paradox of preservationism’ by placing urban-rural division s in the context of ecological relationships. We illustrate this ‘ecologisation’ o f the modernist divide using the example of housing and we argue that the CPRE’s eco logi al approach illustrates how a new alignment between ‘urban’ and ‘rural’ may her ald a new and more sophisticated form of spatial classification.
