英文摘要 |
The article aims to explore the relationship between humans and animals in open spaces. The authors proposed experimental analytical views based on the ideas of territorialization, texture, and folding. Southern Taipei, including the campus of National Taiwan University, the street blocks and parks adjacent to it, and the waterfront of Xindian River were our main fields of interest. Through field observations and interviews, the article depicts the textures of different kinds of space, and the interactive patterns between human and animals occurring on those sites. Structural configurations, methods of spatial use and management, human expectations and sensations, as well as the animal habits of appropriating the space all contribute to textures which, though constantly changing, nevertheless bear distinctive features and then affect humans. The authors assert that the notion of territorialization can be used to portray the logic of spatial configurations dominated by human beings, while folding can be applied to the explication of how animal behavior might disturb the urban open spaces. The relationship between human and animals then spans between territorialization and folding; it is embedded in varied local textures while possibly facilitating new ones. |
