The Two-Tiered Construction of Mediated Space by Geographic Information Presentation——Based on the Theoretical Perspective of Spatial Production
In current spatial research,space is no longer a mere social container,but a multifaceted existence that encompasses society,region,and culture.The Internet,as a typical spatial category,not only produces new spatial relations in the process of technological innovation,but also disciplining people's social and media practices.In this paper,we analyze the construction of e-space by media technology based on the spatial production theory of Levers.It is found that the full-volume display of IP location constructs a first-level mediated space based on topical discussions,and at the same time gives rise to a second-level reproducible space based on subjective geographic perceptions.The e-space is not a simple copy of real geography,but a complex appropriation based on social relations.It has the same function of linking people,geography and society.At this time,geolocation not only affects people's sense of place,but also intervenes in the two-tiered construction of e-space and reshapes communication patterns.
