基于空间生产理论,采取实地景观考察、问卷调查、访谈等研究方法,对北京前门—大栅栏地区的节事活动与地方文化空间生产的关系进行研究,分析地方政府在空间生产中发挥的特殊作用,以及节事文化空间的"第三空间"性质。研究表明:第一,政府在节事活动中占绝对的权力地位,以行政和财政手段投入节事活动,从而赋予实体空间新的文化符号意义,进而实现空间的再生产。第二,政府努力创造非排他的消费条件,从而使得人们公平地享受节事活动这一公共物品,在一定程度上克服了资本主义机制下空间再生产中的不公平性。第三,该区域的节事活动努力营造观念与实践、自我与他者融合的"第三空间",使空间具有自下而上的再生产活力。第四,与历史密切联系的节事活动增强了历史街区独特的文化形象和文化资本。从结论延伸出两个建议:第一,区域性节事活动的策划组织人应将节事活动与本区域的历史植根联系起来,从而赋予地区实体空间恒久且独特的文化软资产。第二,强化个体日常社会实践和抽象文化符号的联系,加强个体对本区文化形象的理解,从而达到认同。
Using the concept of "production of space", this paper analyses the relation between festivals and local cultural spaces by a case of Qianmen-Dashila District in Beijing. The methodologies are survey of landscape, questionnaire and interview. In this case study, we analyse the role of the local government in the process of space production, who has the allocation power of public resources to produce space than the ordinary people. The study also shows the nature of "third space" in this area. The conclusions of this paper are as follows.Firstly, the local government can use administrative and financial approaches to organize local festivals. It has absolute power to symbolize a physical space with new cultural meanings, then reproduce a space. Secondly, the local government tried to create non-exclusive consumption conditions of festivals, which are public goods. So the citizens could have access to festivals events freely and equally. It is an opposite case of space reproduction in capitalism system under some situations. The aim of the space reproduction in this case is not spatial exploitation.Thirdly, the festivals constructed a kind of "third space", which integrate "idea and practice", "self and others", where people can reproduce space of festivals as agents. Fourthly, the festival events root in the history of this area endowed a unique cultural image. They also increased the cultural capital by giving the replicated events in any other places. Two suggestions are extended from the conclusions. The first one is that organizers and designers of such kind of festivals should root festivals in local history, to accumulate unique and sustainable cultural capital for physical space. The second suggestion is that organizers should lead individual participants to strengthen ties between their daily practices and abstract symbols, lead them to understand the image of an area in a city, to form an integrated identity.
