摘要

许多研究提出了评估建筑和权力的模型,如Dovey的框架场所:建筑形式中的调解权力和Njoh的权力形式,分析了建筑环境与各种形式的权力之间的关系。然而,这些模型主要处理西方和/或现代建筑环境。缺乏专门研究非洲社会的乡土建筑环境的研究。本研究评估了权力作为一种社会建构的话语,如何影响并通过非洲社会的乡土建筑环境进行调解。它关注的是尼日利亚扎里亚的城墙和宫殿。对与权力话语相关的建筑环境的研究是一个持续的过程,由于解释的主观性,我们的研究在评估社会建构的符号意义生成时采用了建构主义的认识论方法。考虑到建筑环境中权力的一般话语,开发了一个方法论框架,重点关注权力的形式。该框架也可能对其他(非洲本土)建筑环境的研究有用。在Zaria的本土建筑环境中,权力主要是基于社会建构的话语——这一事实当然也适用于其他传统的非洲建筑环境。它通过空间和物理特征,包括符号的使用,以可见和不可见的方式进行调解,并深深嵌入扎里亚的城市形态和建筑中,特别是它的宫殿,传达了传统皇家机构的身份和权威。

Assessment of African Vernacular Built Environment and Power: The Case of the Walled City of Zaria, Nigeria
Numerous studies proposed models for assessing architecture and power such as Dovey’s Framing places: Mediating power in built form and Njoh’s Forms of power over that analyse the built environment in relation to various forms of power. However, those models deal mainly with the western and/or modern built environment. There is a lack of studies that specifically deal with the vernacular built environment of African societies. This study assesses how power, as a socially constructed discourse, influences and is mediated through African societies’ vernacular built environment. It focuses on the walled city and palace of Zaria, Nigeria. Studies of the built environment in relation to power discourses are continuous processes, and due to the subjectivity of interpretations our research adopts the epistemological approach of constructivism when assessing the socially constructed generation of symbolic meaning. Considering the general discourse of power within built environment, a methodological framework was developed, which focuses on forms of power over. The framework might also be useful for studies of other (African vernacular) built environments. Power over within the vernacular built environment of Zaria is predominantly based on a socially constructed discourse – a fact that is certainly valid for other traditional African built environments as well. It is mediated, visibly and invisibly, through spatial and physical features, including the use of symbols, and deeply embedded in Zaria’s urban form and architecture, especially its palace which conveys the identity and authority of the traditional royal institution.

期刊介绍: The Journal of Asian and African Studies (JAAS) was founded in 1965 to further research and study on Asia and Africa. JAAS is a peer reviewed journal of area studies recognised for consistent scholarly contributions to cutting-edge issues and debates. The journal welcomes articles, research notes, and book reviews that focus on the dynamics of global change and development of Asian and African nations, societies, cultures, and the global community. Published articles cover: -development and change -technology and communication -globalization -public administration -politics -economy -education -health, wealth, and welfare -poverty and growth -humanities -sociology -political science -linguistics -economics JAAS adheres to a double-blind reviewing policy in which the identity of both the reviewer and author are always concealed from both parties. Decisions on manuscripts will be taken as rapidly as possible. However, while it is hoped that a decision can be made in 6-8 weeks, the refereeing process makes it impossible to predict the length of time that will be required to process any given manuscript.
