“边缘关怀”的思想逻辑与理论表达——拾掇索亚《寻求空间正义》文本中的一个思想碎片

在西方激进理论"空间转向"的脉络下,正义等概念显著地空间化了。正义的空间性既要注重作为表象的空间分配平等,也要关注生产不正义结果的空间化过程。追寻空间正义就是要培育一种空间敏感性,激发社会运动来消除植根于空间生产实践中的非正义现象,实质上指向的是一种反抗空间霸权的努力。在此语境下,索亚回归本体论的假设以实现空间正义的理论化,并通过城市权概念中介,构建形形色色的洛杉矶"劳工—社群—学院"正义行动联盟,从而超越解释学的宿命,迈向一种激进的空间实践。但索亚有关区域、地方以及"移民穷忙族"的话语,表达了他对边缘立场与微观地形的偏好。在确切的意义上,这是在商品和生产之外寻找革命的落脚点,是一种以激进为姿态的撤退与逃离。它喻示着整个西方左派从宏大革命叙事到社群行动主体的退守,边缘解放与微观政治最终替代了作为集体行动的阶级政治。

The Thought Logic and Theoretical Express of "Edge Caring": A Fragment of Edward W.Soja's Seeking Spatial Justice

In the context of ＂spatial turn＂, many concepts like justice significantly are spatialized. Spatiality of justice not only requires attention to spatial distribution equality, but also needs attention to the spatialized process which produces injustice results. Seeking spatial justice is to foster a spatial sensitivity and stimulate the social spatial campaign to eliminate the injustice which roots in space and in the process of spatial production. Its essence is pointing to an effort to rebel spatial hegemony. In this context, Soja returned to ontological assumptions to achieve spatial justice theorization, and built Los Angeles＇ ＂Labour-Community-College＂justice action coalition through the intermediary concept of＂the right to the city＂, thereby transcended destiny of hermeneutics and went toward a radical spatial practice. But Soja＇s words about regional, local and the immigration ＂working poor＂expressed his preference for edge position and topography, which, in the exact sense, is looking for revolutionary standpoint outside the goods and production and is a kind of retreat and escape with radical attitude. It means the whole western retreat from the great revolution narration to community mainstay, and edge liberation and micro politics eventually replace the class politics.
