Abstract

ABSTRACT Scholarship has recently sprouted up around the notion of “platform urbanism.” In this article, I outline an approach to the specifically communicative politics emerging through, and in relation to, platform infrastructures by drawing on research and observations in London, UK. Defending a phenomenological perspective, which sidesteps an a priori definition of platforms or infrastructures, I put forward a way of thinking about the experiential duality of platforms for urban politics. Here, platform infrastructures can appear as both: emergent objects of urban political concern; and withdrawn media, shaping spatial experience and the political meanings that are made of those spaces.

平台作为城市政治基础设施的双重性

摘要奖学金最近围绕着“平台城市主义”的概念兴起。在这篇文章中，我通过借鉴英国伦敦的研究和观察，概述了一种通过平台基础设施出现的以及与平台基础设施相关的特定交流政治的方法，避开了平台或基础设施的先验定义，我提出了一种思考城市政治平台经验二元性的方法。在这里，平台基础设施可以同时表现为：城市政治关注的突发对象；以及退缩的媒体，塑造空间体验和由这些空间构成的政治意义。
