摘要

本文超越社会建构论的“地点制造”概念,以“地点织造”为理论框架,探讨数字平台条件下的社区团购对邻里空间的纹理化生成机制。通过对武汉市三个居民小区历时四年的田野调查,研究发现,社区团购中的邻里与平台在不同的媒介实践中产生动态多元的耦合,催生出复数的社区团购和叠加的邻里空间。大厂商业团的单一自动化装置和平织编码将邻里空间生产为类似平纹织布的均质化网格纹理;居民团的协作自动化装置和提花编码则涌现出如织锦般文质彬彬且独具特色的提花纹理。本研究从空间的角度发展平台批判研究,指出平台的大规模技术理性在转化成小范围的具体劳动和日常生活过程中会发生意想不到的质变,产生属于小范围的秩序,数字时代的邻里空间仍然存在附近实践的可能。

Abstract

This study transcends the social constructivist notion of “place-making” by adopting the theoretical framework of “place-weaving” to investigate the mechanisms that texture neighborhood space under digital platform-enabled community group buying. Through a four years of ethnographic fieldwork in three residential communities in Wuhan, the research reveals that dynamic and pluralistic couplings emerge between neighborhoods and platforms across diverse media practices, giving rise to multiple forms of community group buying and superimposed neighborhood spaces. Commercial platform-led groups, characterized by singular automated infrastructures and plain-weave coding, produce neighborhood spaces with homogeneous grid-like textures akin to plain-woven fabric. In contrast, resident-led groups employ collaborative automation and jacquard-style coding, generating refined and distinctive jacquard textures reminiscent of brocade through emergent processes. The study advances critical platform scholarship from a spatial perspective, demonstrating that the large-scale technical rationality of platforms undergoes unexpected qualitative transformations when translated into localized labor practices and everyday routines. This process generates micro-scale orders, affirming the persistent possibilities of “nearby practices” within digital-era neighborhood spaces.

Media and communication are attracting increasing amounts of attention from geographers but the work remains disorganized and lacks a unifying paradigm. This progress report suggests a new paradigm for geographical studies of media and communication and indicates how recent research fits under this umbrella. The report presents recent studies of literature, film and television, digital media, photography, comics, stamps and banknotes. The range of theoretical concerns in this body of work includes performance, agency, materiality, immateriality, networks, politics, emotions and affect. Collectively, these concerns point to communications not merely as transmissions through infrastructure, space and time, but rather as encounters between various human and nonhuman agents. The metaphysical question is exactly what such encounters do to participants – how agents are transformed by other agents’ communications. This leads to synthesis in a new paradigm for media/communication geography: the metaphysics of encounter.

Online content providers such as YouTube are carefully positioning themselves to users, clients, advertisers and policymakers, making strategic claims for what they do and do not do, and how their place in the information landscape should be understood. One term in particular, ‘platform’, reveals the contours of this discursive work. The term has been deployed in both their populist appeals and their marketing pitches, sometimes as technical ‘platforms’, sometimes as ‘platforms’ from which to speak, sometimes as ‘platforms’ of opportunity. Whatever tensions exist in serving all of these constituencies are carefully elided. The term also fits their efforts to shape information policy, where they seek protection for facilitating user expression, yet also seek limited liability for what those users say. As these providers become the curators of public discourse, we must examine the roles they aim to play, and the terms by which they hope to be judged.

The article outlines the contours of an emerging sub-field within media and cultural studies — communication geography. It is argued that post-industrial society nurtures a regime of hyperspace-biased communication, which generates spatial ambiguities tied to mobility, convergence and interactivity. These ambiguities call for a spatial turn within media studies — a turn which implies a problematization of the space—communication nexus, through which communication can be understood as the production and becoming of space. Following Henri Lefebvre, the term `texture is advanced as a potential cornerstone for the geography of communication. The concept refers to the communicative fabric that mediates between the structural properties of space and the spatial or communicative practices that (re)produce space. Textural analysis holds the potential to go beyond the duality of transmission and ritual views of communication, as well as to take the material geographies of communication into closer consideration.

We propose a network analytic approach to the community question in order to separate the study of communities from the study of neighborhoods. Three arguments about the community question-that \"community\" has been \"lost,\" \"saved,\" or \"liberated\"-are reviewed for their development, network depictions, imagery, policy implications, and current status. The lost argument contends that communal ties have become attenuated in industrial bureaucratic societies; the saved argument contends that neighborhood communities remain as important sources of sociability, support and mediation with formal institutions; the liberated argument maintains that while communal ties still flourish, they have dispersed beyond the neighborhood and are no longer clustered in solidary communities. Our review finds that both the saved and liberated arguments proposed viable network patterns under appropriate conditions, for social systems as well as individuals.

The world during the COVID-19 pandemic became more divided than united, both between states and among individuals. Opinions are polarized partly because, as I have observed in urban China, the public is simultaneously preoccupied by the very near (the self) and the very far (the imagined ‘world’), but neglect the space in between, and as a result fail to recognize how the social world is concretely constituted through interconnected differences. This article advocates a way of perceiving the world by taking ‘the nearby’ (fujin in Chinese) as a central scope. The nearby is a lived space where one encounters people with diverse backgrounds on a regular basis. The nearby brings different positions into one view, thus constituting a ‘scope’ of seeing. Such a scope enables nuanced understandings of reality and facilitates new social relations and actions. The nearby could form a line of resistance against the power of the state, capital and technology, that is turning local communities into units of administrative control and value extraction. This article calls for a ‘First Mile Movement’, in which artists, researchers and activists work together to help facilitate citizens with the construction of their nearby as a basis for reflecting upon life experiences, testing grand ideologies and engaging in public discussion.
