人文主义地理学对城市空间文本的解读——以《北京文脉》插图为例

人文主义地理学是地理学的一种认识论,其特点是我向性、诉诸情感和感悟性。以往的人文主义地理学分析案例多关注地方感的主体性,而对认识与被认识的循环过程中的人文主义特点关注不够。本文以《北京文脉》一书的三幅插图为例,对比插图者自述和读者(本文作者）的读后感,分析北京城市空间认识过程中的人性提升。主要结论有二,一是在三幅插图的作者和读者的空间认识过程中,感悟性更重要;二是插图作者和读者均经历了“文本—基于文本的感悟—超越文本的提升”的认识循环,这个过程是人性提升的必然途径。因此,在每次修改城市规划时,人们一定要回答人性有何提升。

A humanistic geographical analysis of city space: A study of three maps in Beijing's Context

Humanistic geography is an epistemology of geography. It is characterized by its focus on self-ward thinking, affection, and consciousness. Existing studies of humanistic geography mainly discussed subjectivity of place. This study attempts to explore the humanistic features in the spiral of consciousness increment between subjects and objects. It is also a response to the opinion of Martin Heidegger-language and human are not binary oppositions. This article takes three maps in the book of Beijing's Context as examples. It compares the map illustration of the author and readers and analyzes the humanity improvement in the perceptions of Beijing's city space. The conclusions are as follows. First, the spatial cognitive process of the map drawer and readers were being conscious of the space meaning than perceiving them. Second, both the map drawer and the map readers have undergone a cognitive cycle, which is from text to text-based perception, then to thinking beyond text. This process is considered an indispensable way to improve humanity. Practically, the implication of this study is that planners should be clear about what show the progress of humanity in an updated urban planning.
