The spatial-conceptual basis of the construction of place across the social sciences, including in human geography (and particularly in the field of area studies), has long been questioned and criticised for its strong grip on territorial and container-like thinking on spatiality. Alternative spatial dimensions, such as scale, place and networks, have been put forward by a range of authors. Building on these critical perspectives, this article proposes rethinking ‘spatial bias’, or what we would call the ‘one-dimensional framing of space’, and combining the most promising perspectives on spatial construction in a multi-dimensional analytical framework, in order to synergise their individual strengths instead of playing off one against another. The framework, considered a heuristic tool for empirical analysis, combines the categories of space as place, territory, network, positionality and mobility from a relational, actor-centred and translocal perspective. Operationalised for the empirical analysis of socio-spatial dynamics and phenomena, it allows one to trace interconnections between different spatial dimensions and offers a range of different entry points for empirical inquiry. We demonstrate the utility and practical value of the suggested analytical framework through its application in one empirical case study in northern Pakistan.

空间的多维性——场所生产实证研究的分析框架

跨社会科学的地方建构的空间概念基础,包括人文地理学(特别是在区域研究领域),长期以来一直受到质疑和批评,因为它对空间性的领土和容器式思维的强烈控制。许多作者已经提出了替代空间维度,例如尺度、地点和网络。基于这些批判性观点,本文建议重新思考“空间偏见”,或者我们称之为“一维空间框架”,并在多维分析框架中结合最有前途的空间构建观点,以便发挥各自的优势,而不是相互竞争。该框架被认为是经验分析的启发式工具,从关系、以行动者为中心和跨地域的角度,将空间类别结合为地点、领土、网络、位置和流动性。用于社会空间动态和现象的实证分析,它允许人们追踪不同空间维度之间的相互联系,并为实证研究提供一系列不同的切入点。我们通过在巴基斯坦北部的一个实证案例研究中的应用,证明了所建议的分析框架的实用性和实用价值。它允许人们追踪不同空间维度之间的相互联系,并为实证研究提供了一系列不同的切入点。我们通过在巴基斯坦北部的一个实证案例研究中的应用来证明所建议的分析框架的实用性和实用价值。它允许人们追踪不同空间维度之间的相互联系,并为实证研究提供了一系列不同的切入点。我们通过在巴基斯坦北部的一个实证案例研究中的应用,证明了所建议的分析框架的实用性和实用价值。
