From Object to Perspective: A Shift of Significance in Space Production and Space Criticism — The Issue of Space in Conceptualizing Contemporary Chinese Urban Construction

物质性的空间一是指自然物理空间，二是指社会空间即社会关系。空间生产包括 空间中的生产和空间本身的生产两个向度的内涵。这两个向度内涵之间的关系和物理 空间生产与社会空间生产之间的关系构成了空间生产中两大基本关系。这两大基本关 系的辩证内涵表明，空间生产根本上可以归结为社会关系再生产。由此，关于空间生 产问题的讨论就发生了一个根本性的意义转换，即从对象到视阈的意义转换。以此来 审视，当代中国城市建构理念尚存在某些偏差，即对象与视阈的意义断裂与分离，由 此造成了当代中国城市化进程中一些不必要的风险和代价。 关键词: 对象 视阈 空间生产 空间批判 意义转换 Physical space refers to both natural space and social space, that is, social relations. Space production includes production in space and of space. Relations between these two dimensions and between physical space production and social space production constitute two basic relations in space production. The dialectical connotation of these two basic relations manifests the truth that space production can basically be summed up as reproduction of social relations. Therefore, arguments about space production can be seen as involving a fundamental shift of importance from object to perspective. Seen in this way, there remain some errors in ideas about today's Chinese urban construction, that is, the rupture and separation of object and perspective, resulting in unnecessary risks and costs in the progress of modern Chinese urbanization.
