消费空间研究关注点的转变及其意义——兼论西方消费地理研究动态

针对现实中消费现象和消费研究日益显著现象，小文从传统消费地理研究思维定势和方法着手，疏理西方消费空间研究关注点的转变趋势：①包罗万象的消费研究对象和内容；②传统与现代新型多种消费空间类型的探讨；③对消费空间主体性与社会性的关注；④跨尺度空间与商品移动轨迹的新视角；⑤消费内涵的延伸。西方地理学家对消费的研究方法体现为传统地学区域和空间研究视角优势的发挥，以及批判性地继承大量的社会学理论和方法。西方地理学家对社会科学做出的贡献主要如下：①揭示消费空间不平衡关系和社会意义；②强调消费、消费者与消费空间的非均一、异质、流动特征，指出以消费者类型开展研究的弊端，质疑历史分析研究和消费阶段划分方法；③采用情景方法对主体与空间关系研究，揭示出多种消费空间存在的社会政治意义；④继承马克思政治经济学将生产和消费空间联系起来的研究方法，同时指出阶级视角对消费者多种差异性的忽视；⑤基于商品链、供给系统、商品循环和行动者网络等方法和学说的差异性视角及其政治立场，强调学说，尤其道德因素对社会实践的影响。
