As the twentieth century drew to a close, the rich were getting richer; power was concentrating within huge corporations; vast tracts of the earth were being laid waste; and, three quarters of the earth's population had no control over its destiny and no claim to basic rights. There was nothing new in this. What was new was the virtual absence of any political will to do anything about it. "Spaces of Hope" takes issue with this. David Harvey brings an exciting perspective to two of the principal themes of contemporary social discourse: globalization and the body. Exploring the uneven geographical development of late-twentieth-century capitalism, and placing the working body in relation to this new geography, he finds in Marx's writings a wealth of relevant analysis and theoretical insight. In order to make much-needed changes, Harvey maintains, we need to become the architects of a different living and working environment and to learn to bridge the micro-scale of the body and the personal and the macro-scale of global political economy. Utopian movements have for centuries tried to construct a just society. Harvey looks at their history to ask why they failed and what the ideas behind them might still have to offer. His devastating description of the existing urban environment (Baltimore is his case study) fuels his argument that we can and must use the force of utopian imagining against all who say 'there is no alternative'. He outlines a new kind of utopian thought, which he calls dialectical utopianism, and refocuses our attention on possible designs for a more equitable world of work and living with nature. If any political ideology or plan is to work, he argues, it must take account of our human qualities. Finally, Harvey dares to sketch a very personal utopian vision in an appendix, one that leaves no doubt about his own geography of hope.

在全球規模上把身體和政治人確立為當下普遍訴求的基礎,以人的尊嚴的普遍權利為中心來設計烏托邦想象的基礎,試圖從資本生産的過程來解決烏托邦和歹托邦雙重後果的對立—前者是以開放性和可能性為中心的人類解放前景,後者是以物化和等級製為核心的資本主義統治現實。 城市是一...
評分關於曆史地理學的一些研究的閱讀在生活中偶爾可以小試三兩,比如在經過城市裏的隧道時,迴憶一下戴維·哈維在《希望的空間》裏關於城市烏托邦的描繪,難免就會將心思落到隧道本有的快感裏。這種快速消逝然而迴神時極具張力的經曆,帶有烏托邦的審美,又作為城市公共投資,不可...
評分梁捷:烏托邦、歹托邦與異托邦 大衛•哈維這個名字,我是早先讀商務名著《地理學中的解釋》時知道的,具備瞭新左派,後現代地理學者,極端馬剋思主義者等標簽。當然這本《希望的空間》則是憑藉駭人聽聞的定價給我留下最初的印象。 哈維七十年代初成名,和羅爾斯差不多,1973...
評分一個友人的推薦,不由的說幾句。 資本的概念這裏認為是“金錢”“有形”資本,其實如果把“勞動力人力資本和無形資本、社會資本”還有“環境資本”考慮之後,那麼我們就不會那麼悲觀瞭。主要的問題是“社會、人力、知識資本和環境資本”我們在金融會計理論上還沒有成熟,無法...

Dialectic Utopianism.將烏托邦從孤立空間和時間的終點性上解放齣來,變成一種可變的,與具體時空(即曆史和地理)交涉的Alternative.其意義不在於把烏托邦變成現實而在於替代可能的呈現。討論大都很宏觀,雖提到瞭身體政治但似乎沒有把個體意識的能動力體現齣來。
