传播地理学视角下的城市空间生产研究——以City Walk为例
Research on the Production of Urban Space from the Perspective of Communication Geography—A Case Study of City Walk

近年来传播学界聚焦传播与空间的互动，关注到了城市空间生产等主题。传播地理学通过探究空间、地方与传播的互动关系，突破传统媒介中心论，将地域文化及移动实践纳入研究视野，揭示媒介如何重构社会空间并形塑地方认同。基于传播地理学跨学科研究的概念框架，分析City Walk参与者在城市中行走移动过程中，与城市空间、地方的双重相遇，发现City Walk中呈现的地方符号、地方纹理的交织、地域化区隔与虚拟空间的打造，缓解社会加速理论视域下的时空压缩焦虑，实现媒介化空间实践与城市的协商互动。
In recent years, communication studies have increasingly focused on the interplay between communication and space, particularly themes such as the production of urban space. Communication geography, by investigating the dynamic relationships among space, place, and communication, transcends traditional media-centric approaches to incorporate local cultures and mobile practices into its analytical framework. This interdisciplinary field reveals how media reconfigure social spaces and shape place-based identities. Drawing on the conceptual framework of communication geography, this study analyzes how City Walk participants engage in dual encounters with urban spaces and places during their walking practices. Findings demonstrate that City Walk fosters the interweaving of local symbols and spatial textures, territorial demarcation, and the creation of virtual spaces. These processes alleviate time-space compression anxiety under the lens of social acceleration theory, enabling mediated spatial practices to negotiate and interact dynamically with urban environments.
