The Practical Logic of"City Walk"Among Contemporary Youths in the Context of Subculture
Under the constant squeeze of accelerating society,contemporary youths try to seek self-settlement and complete self-construction in the tourism space.From"Special Forces-style Tourism"to"City Walk",the flow of youth travel provides a unique perspective for the study of youth subculture.Focusing on the contemporary youths who are keen on city walk,through methods such as participatory observation and semi-structured interviews,this paper deeply explores the behavioral logic and deep cultural motivations of contemporary youths participating in city walk.The study indicates that under the stimulation of media rituals,spatially embedded body perception,the daily lives of time imprisonment,the anxiety of modernity,and the rational needs of consumer society have become the main driving forces for contemporary youths to participate in city walk.From fast-paced to slow-paced tourism,the subculture shift of contemporary youths is a rational expression of escaping from complex reality and returning to authentic lives.
