Abstract

Consider the following: the neighbourhood where you live is derided in the public debate. Newspapers write about violent incidents occurring in the area, its grey architecture, and the tight living conditions of many of your neighbours. They ignore writing about the neighbourhood’s varied and rich cultural traditions, the ambitious youth, and the active associational life. The negative image of your neighbourhood builds on selected facts. And although you do not recognise your neighbourhood in the dominant image of it, although you know there is more talent and capacity in the neighbourhood than what the general gaze seems to acknowledge, you see that decisions concerning the area are based on that limited, and limiting, knowledge—limited because it excludes residents’ knowledge of their place; limiting because, through the decisions dominant actors make concerning the neighbourhood, dominant knowledge shapes the lives and future of the people living in it. The limited gaze so limits residents’ life possibilities that, for fear of dismissive reactions, you do not include your home address in your CV, nor do you say where you live at party introductions. This is what sociologist Loïc Wacquant (2007) calls “territorial stigmatisation”: the tainted collective and dominant representation fastened on a particular place. Territorial stigma not only conveys negative stories of a place and its residents; it often also has adverse consequences on the social and economic possibilities of the people looked upon through the stigmatising gaze. AsWacquant puts it, “whether or not these areas are in fact dilapidated and dangerous, and their population composed essentially of poor people, minorities and foreigners, matters little in the end: the prejudicial belief that they are suffices to set off socially noxious consequences” (68). Acknowledging the effects of a place’s general image on the social dynamics of the place highlights three dimensions of space: first, physical space, the geographical area describable through directional vectors and cartographic coordinates; second, symbolic space, the images and stories associated to a given geography and those who inhabit it and the general representation in the public debate of a place and its residents; and third, social space, the status or social position inscribed in sites and reproduced through stories. As the spatial turn in the social sciences has shown, the
参与式城市艺术与职场民主:对话调侃者
考虑以下几点:你居住的社区在公开辩论中遭到嘲笑。报纸报道了该地区发生的暴力事件、灰色建筑以及许多邻居的紧张生活条件。他们忽视了对附近丰富多样的文化传统、雄心勃勃的年轻人和活跃的结社生活的书写。你的邻居的负面形象建立在选定的事实之上。尽管你没有从你的社区的主导形象中认识到你的社区,尽管你知道这个社区的人才和能力比一般人所承认的要多,但你会看到,关于这个地区的决定是基于有限的、有限的知识——有限的,因为它排除了居民对自己所在地的了解;限制是因为,通过占主导地位的行动者对社区做出的决定,占主导地位知识塑造了居住在社区中的人的生活和未来。有限的凝视限制了居民的生活可能性,因为担心遭到轻蔑的反应,你不会在简历中包括你的家庭住址,也不会在聚会介绍会上说你住在哪里。这就是社会学家Loïc Wacqunt(2007)所说的“领土污名化”:被玷污的集体和主导代表权被固定在一个特定的地方。地域污名不仅传达了一个地方及其居民的负面故事;它还经常对那些被污名化凝视的人的社会和经济可能性产生不利影响。AsWacquant认为,“这些地区是否真的破旧和危险,其人口主要由穷人、少数民族和外国人组成,最终无关紧要:认为这些地区足以引发社会有害后果的偏见”(68)。承认一个地方的总体形象对该地社会动态的影响突出了空间的三个维度:第一,物理空间,通过方向矢量和地图坐标可描述的地理区域;第二,象征空间,与特定地理和居住在其中的人相关的图像和故事,以及一个地方及其居民在公共辩论中的普遍表现;第三,社会空间,记录在网站上并通过故事再现的地位或社会地位。正如社会科学的空间转向所表明的那样

期刊介绍: Business Ethics Quarterly (BEQ) is a peer-reviewed scholarly journal that publishes theoretical and empirical research relevant to the ethics of business. Since 1991 this multidisciplinary journal has published articles and reviews on a broad range of topics, including the internal ethics of business organizations, the role of business organizations in larger social, political and cultural frameworks, and the ethical quality of market-based societies and market-based relationships. It recognizes that contributions to the better understanding of business ethics can come from any quarter and therefore publishes scholarship rooted in the humanities, social sciences, and professional fields.
