现代性、全球化和城市化催生了当代的怀旧现象并使其成为国内外学界关注的重要话题。涵盖人们衣食住行和精神文化消费领域的怀旧消费风靡全球,以城市怀旧为主题的特殊消费空间和文化空间作为怀旧消费实践过程中的时空综合体,其地方建构的过程及社会文化意义值得文化地理学者进行探讨。文章以广州百年老字号西餐厅太平馆为案例,通过参与式观察和半结构式访谈等质性研究方法,并收集相关媒体报道作为资料来源。从怀旧餐厅的物质空间建构和情感空间建构2个维度对其地方建构的过程,以及此空间与消费者之间的互动关系进行探究。研究表明,太平馆作为怀旧消费空间,经营者通过对物质空间的主体性建构再现地方记忆,使得地方感得以再生产;而与此同时消费者则通过在怀旧空间中的消费实践获得归属和认同等情感体验,并成为了情感空间建构的积极主体,通过对太平馆的地方依恋与地方认同积极推动怀旧地方的持续建构。
