在全球化对社会产生深刻影响的当下,流动获得了内涵和外延的立体化与多面性,各种类型的流动正表征并重塑地方、社会结构和价值观念。如何认识流动、分析流动对理解当前世界多重空间尺度的各类社会文化现象、理解空间及附加其上的意义具有重要影响。一方面,流动性是流动实践空前增强的过程,这个过程既发生在全球与区域的尺度上,也发生在城市内部日常生活与通勤的尺度上。另一方面,流动性对于人文社会科学中基本概念的阐释具有革命性的作用,例如地方,认同这些话题都需要从流动性的视角进行重新思考。以时间和空间作为刻画流动性的基础尺标,在新流动性范式下,从地方、城市、移民、旅游、身份认同、政策与管制等方面探讨流动性多层次的社会文化意义,期于在流动性这一场域进行跨学科的对话,并促使国内学界对流动现象的关注上升为对流动性理论本身的解读。
With the profound impact of globalization on society, the connotation and denotation of mobility have become three-dimensional and multi-faceted today. Various types of mobilities are representing and reshaping our social structure and values. How to analyze and understand mobility has important implications on our cognition of social culture, local structure and contextual significance, as well as all kinds of socio-cultural phenomena which are currently measured by multiple spatial scales. On the one hand, mobility is an unprecedented enhancement of movement. This process not only occurs in the global and regional scales, but also in the scale of daily life and commuting within the urban areas. On the other hand, mobility overturns our understanding of the basic conceptions in humanities and social sciences in a revolutionary way. For example we need to rethink these crucial issues like space and identity with a perspective of mobility. Under the new paradigm--taking time and space as a basic judgement of mobility, the multi-layered and three-dimensional sociocultural meaning of mobility is thus to be discussed in terms of regions, cities, immigration, tourism, identity, policy, regulation and so on. This practice offers a field for interdisciplinary dialogue and communication which carries the expectation of providing references and prospects for lifting the discussion on movement to mobility.
