WALKING IN THE STUDY SPACE:THE REPRESENTATION AND THE NON-REPRESENTATION OF THE STUDY SPACE FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF HOME
From the micro-geographical perspective,the home,as a microcosm of society,constitutes a space where material and emotions intertwine.The geography of home has become a prominent topic in human ge-ography in recent years,in which many scholars pay attention to the exploration of specific domestic spaces.The study space,as a distinctive space in Chinese traditional culture,plays a significant role in the evolution and development of the home.This research,based on the collection of online textual data,adopts grounded theory and utilizes Nvivo 11 as a qualitative analysis tool.It takes the representation and non-representation as its perspective and delves into the study space of intellectuals in Chinese universities from the viewpoint of home.The findings of this research reveal a fascinating expansion process of the study space throughout the long-term urbanization process.From its humble beginnings as a'temporary space',the study space has evolved into a'semi-space',and an'independent space',and,in some cases,even culminating in the emer-gence of a'super space'.The study space is symbolically represented by'culture and feelings',showcasing the personalized self-order of university intellectuals.The non-representation of the study space is equally in-triguing and multifaceted,characterized by both practical and emotional dimensions.The practices of univer-sity intellectuals in the study space include work and daily practices as well as spatial production practices such as spatial conflicts.The representation and non-representation of the study space are interconnected and mutually influential.Intellectuals construct and represent the study space through imagination,while the per-sonalized environment of the study space enables them to practice more effectively.
