摘要: 空间转化为场所的条件之一是居住其间的人们可以自己设立和维护边界。然而,美国社会“排他性地理”空间意识形态剥夺了黑人将空间转换为场所的条件,“生产”了黑人的洞穴体验,引发了黑人强烈的心理焦虑。作为这种社会制度的“土生子”,黑人青年别格深陷字面意义和隐喻意义的“洞穴”中,导致罹患了幽闭恐惧症,诉诸暴力是他释放恐惧的途径。因此,别格是美国社会空间意识形态的牺牲品。

Abstract: The condition for the transformation of space into place is that the person in that space has the rights to establish and protect this boundary. However, geographies of exclusion typical of American space ideology deprives Afro-American people of this possibility of transformation. Bigger, the native son born of this American ideology, is suffering a kind of virtual and metaphorical hole experience, which finds full expression in the cramp dwelling room and the micro-power network weaved by such value signs as the billboard with a white man, the helicopter hovering overhead and these fancy cars owned by the white. This hole experience brings about a deep-seated fear and horror in Bigger. For him, the only way to relieve himself of the misery is through violence.
