Abstract
This paper discusses the current relevance of Anssi Paasi's 2002 paper Bounded Spaces in the Mobile World: Deconstructing ‘Regional Identity’. Using Paasi's conceptual tools to analyse the cultivation of a thin regional identity discourse of the metropolitan region Amsterdam, it is shown how the construction of a large upmarket housing estate in the small town of Muiden near Amsterdam is legitimised. Paasi's conceptual tools also help to analyse the use of a traditional thick local identity discourse by the local population. This illustrates the growing importance of thickening resistance identities in reaction to the neoliberal policies promoting globalisation. When Paasi wrote this paper at the turn of the century, the world was opening up, which challenged established identities. Today, we see a revival of thickening identities again.
本文讨论了安西-帕西(Anssi Paasi)2002 年发表的论文《移动世界中的边界空间》(Bounded Spaces in the Mobile World)的现实意义:解构 "地区认同"》一文的现实意义。本文利用 Paasi 的概念工具分析了阿姆斯特丹大都会地区薄层区域身份话语的形成,说明了在阿姆斯特丹附近的小镇 Muiden 建造大型高档住宅区是如何合法化的。帕西的概念工具还有助于分析当地居民对传统的厚重地方认同话语的使用。这说明,针对促进全球化的新自由主义政策,加厚抵制身份认同的重要性与日俱增。帕西在世纪之交撰写这篇论文时,世界正在开放,这对既有的身份认同提出了挑战。今天,我们再次看到加厚身份认同的复兴。
