The Spaces and Times of Globalization: Place, Scale, Networks, and Positionality
批判性地审视地方、尺度和网络作为全球化空间性隐喻的局限性，提出位置性概念，认为空间/时间仍然重要，并影响地方在全球经济中的可能性条件。
Abstract: Discussions of the spatiality of globalization have largely focused on place-based attributes that fix globalization locally, on globalization as the construction of scale, and on networks as a distinctive feature of contemporary globalization. By contrast, position within the global economy is frequently regarded as anachro-nistic in a shrinking, networked world. A critical review of how place, scale, and networks are used as metaphors for the spatiality of globalization suggests that space/time still matters. Positionality (position in relational space/time within the global economy) is conceptualized as both shaping and shaped by the trajectories of globalization and as influencing the conditions of possibility of places in a glob-alizing world. The wormhole is invoked as a way of describing the concrete geogra-phies of positionality and their non-Euclidean relationship to the Earth’s surface. The inclusion of positionality challenges the simplicity of pro- and antiglobalization narratives and can change how we think about globalization and devise strategies to alter its trajectory.
