现代化、全球化和城市化催生了当代的怀旧现象,城市怀旧已成为一种极其普遍的社会文化景观,并成为国内外学界关注的重要话题。通过对国内外文献的分析,总结了国内外城市怀旧现象的研究状况,以及文化地理学视角的研究进展。研究表明,城市怀旧研究已经渗透至诸多学科领域,国外文化地理学者从多个角度开展了城市怀旧的研究,但该研究在国内还十分鲜见。文章指出可以结合文化地理学及相关理论,从人地关系角度,分析城市怀旧文化的形成发展及其与城市文化生态环境的互动作用,探讨城市怀旧空间的生成、类型、特征、时空演变及其动力机制,解读城市怀旧文化景观对于城市怀旧空间的诠释以及地方认同的影响,以揭示在城市怀旧空间形成和演变过程中,城市记忆、地理想象、地方认同和建构的互动作用机理。认为城市怀旧的地理学研究将拓展我国城市文化地理学的研究视野,并对城市更新、历史街区的保护和复兴提供重要的理论支撑和决策依据。
Modernity,globalization and urbanization have worked together in gendering contemporary nostalgic phenomena as urban nostalgia becomes a prevalent socio-cultural landscape and an important topic which has drawn scholarly attention both at home and abroad.The paper reviews domestic and foreign literature,comments on and summarizes the current situation of researches on urban nostalgia both at home and abroad as well as progresses made in them from the perspective of cultural geographical studies.Previous researches indicate that studies of urban nostalgia have penetrated into many fields as researches taken on urban nostalgia from multiple perspectives by overseas scholars of cultural geographical studies include the forming and working mechanism of urban nostalgia space in nations going through their post-colonial and post-communist periods.However,geographical researches on urban nostalgia are relatively rare nationwide.The paper points out that against the background of globalization and rapid urbanization in contemporary Chinese cities,social cultures have been undergoing tremendous changes and a re-surge of urban nostalgic power has just begun to envelope many of these cities,which offers an excellent perspective to urban cultural geographical researches.We propose that researches should integrate cultural geographical studies with relevant theories and by adopting the perspective of man-land relationship,analyze the forming,classifying,characterizing,temporal-spatial evolving mechanisms and dynamics of urban nostalgia space and interpret the reading of urban nostalgia space through urban nostalgic cultural landscape and the influences of place identity,so as to uncover the interrelationship among urban memory,geographical imagination,place identity and its construction in the forming and evolving processes of urban nostalgia space.
