    The theoretical essence of interculturality and its enlightenments on social & cultural geography study
    2018, 27(02): 118-130. 
    Abstract ( )   PDF (755KB) ( )  
    Intercultural theory has always been a paradigm to reflect on cultural diversity and a strategy and wisdom to cope with cultural differences during the process of glocalizationa nd lobaization. Based on the theoretical review of interculturality, this article argues that intercultural phenomenon is the cognitive object of intercultuality. And it reveals the essence of intercultural relations and advocates intercultrualism in cultural and political practice. Intercultural, interculturality and interculturalism are three key terms to recognize the intercultural relations and are the core essences of intercultural theory which adopts a dialectical view on cultural diversity. On the one hand, intercultural theory acknowledges and accepts the fact that cultural diversity prevalently since it is a common heritage and precious wealth of humankind; one the other hand, intercultural theory takes cultural diversity as cultural barrier that need to overcome and deal with the intercultural paradox of how to live with differences in the context of coexistence in a multi-cultural world. Intercultural theory reveals the intrinsic inter-characteristics of diversity including otherness and sameness, relationality and interactivity, and helps to establish the formula for how to live with differences in hyper-diverse areas. Interculturality serves as a prerequisite for recognizing the diversity, respecting otherness, seeking sameness that whether culture can coexist with the same meaning of the intercultural characteristics, and revealing the inter-relatedness in the context in which intercultural encounter commits to strengthen the interaction between the heterogeneous cultures in the premise of mutual subjectivity. The enlightenment of intercultural theory on social & cultural geography can be applied in the research on intercultural situation, space (place) thinking, race and ethnic geography, indigenous geographies, geographies of identity and intercultural city. Intercultural theory pioneers a more academic space, offers a broad field of vision and new dimension of intercultural relations to the research on social & cultural geography.

    2018, 27(02): 143-155. 
    Abstract ( )   PDF (929KB) ( )  
    In recent years, transnational ethnics play increasingly crucial roles in contemporary Chinese metropolis. As past studies have underscored the ethnic economic enclave, these reaches ignored the importance of landscapes of consumption in micro level. By the means of semi-structured interview, participant observation, documents, and semantic differential, the paper investigates how the transnational ethnics negotiate with other social groups and socioeconomic context of place in the Jianshe 6 Road, Guangzhou. The research finds that not only is food consumption the important resource for transnational ethnics to contest and maintain identity, but it is also possible to be transformed as unique cultural symbols by some translocal and local operators. Meanwhile, by perceiving and imagining the physical environments and the culture of products of such consumption space, the local consumers have accepted these cultural spaces. There are also cross-border interactions engaged by pluralist communities, especially in the crisis period. Furthermore, the paper employs the means of cultural distance measurement and semantic differential to examine that, although shaped by the cultural logics of different actors, transnational consumption space in the Jianshe 6 Road is able to be accepted by different social groups simultaneously.

    Abstract ( )   PDF (1029KB) ( )  
    Under the background of economic and cultural globalization, the interaction between globalization and localization has become more and more frequent. As a result, the local consumption space in the city is increasing day by day. Under this background, this paper based on the theory of place and place construction, we take the Chengdu Shunxing teahouse which is the most representative of the local place as research object, research on the place construction and consumers’ perception of the tea house from the two perspectives of operators and consumers by qualitative research methods. It is found that the place construction of teahouse is actually a process of the representation of local cultural symbols, and the achievement of representation of local culture are mainly through the building of material space and performance stage controlled by operators. Firstly, the operators create a strong local cultural consumption space through the use of a variety of local symbols for space and its environment to design. Then, the operators arrange a stage for Sichuan performance which make the local culture more poetry. Finally, in the operator's meticulous planning, the teahouse has become a Grand View Garden of local culture. While consumers who as the space users, their perception and experience of the tea house are mainly from the physical space, local culture and functional value of the three dimensions, and in the three dimensions, the consumers have a high degree perception on the physical space and the local culture, and give a positive evaluation in these two dimensions, but consumers’ evaluation of the functional value of the teahouse is low. The perception and experience of the teahouse to meet the consumer's imagination and expectations of local culture, and the consumers through the interpretation of cultural symbols in the tea house to complete the gaze and consumption of the other culture, and the consumers' perception and experience of the teahouse show a strong symbol consumption characteristics, which means that consumption is no longer a simple function of value, but to meet people’s social psychological and cultural needs. The process of consumers’ interpretation of various cultural symbols and cultural performances in the tea house is also the process of the consumption of the tea house space. Finally, under the negotiation of business operators and consumers, the tea house which as the daily life space is shaped as a modern cultural consumption space, it also promotes the modernization of the traditional daily life space and the transformation of globalization. At the end of this paper, a critical reflection on the construction and consumption of this kind of space is presented.
