论空间语义

现代社会已经进入空间生产的时代。空间生产主要体现为空间的语义生产,包括空间的分隔与连接、功能配置以及作为艺术符号的生产。空间生产一方面满足了城市生活的需要,另一方面也带来了空间的过分拥挤,而拥挤使空间的不断再生产成为可能。寻找生活意义所进行的抗争不仅需要面对空间中的物,而且更需要面对空间本身。

On the Semantics of Space

The modern society, as Henri Lefebvre said, has entered an era of the production of space. In this paper the author considers that production of space embodies primarily the production of space meaning, including the separation and connection of space, the installation of functional equipment and the production of art symbols. On the one hand the production of space meets the demand of city life, but on the other hand, it brings about the overcrowding in cities. Because of overcrowding, there is a possibility of spatial reproduction continuously. When we struggle for the meaning of life, we not only face the things in space, but also the space itself.
