The starting point of this paper is to elaborate the marginal urban commercial entertainment space and culture in small cities including F city. It focuses on the evolution of sexual consumption of youth in F City and the transformation of bars’stigma. Through the analysis of the youth’s sexual consumption behavior, the problem of violent conflict in bars, their entanglement with drugs, the shill bars and the bars with erotic stigma, this paper outlines the general evolution process of sexual consumption places/ spaces in F City since 2000 and the basically synchronous change process of sexual consumption, and the corresponding change process of the stigma cognition of bars. As bars, replacing bath centers, nightclubs and disco halls, have increasingly become the main sexual consumption space, the main type of sex consumption in these spaces has gradually shifted from direct sexual consumption into indirect sexual consumption. In a significant portion of urban residents’perceptions, the stigma attached to bars has shifted from causing violence and drug abuse to causing eroticization. In addition, this paper argues that the marginal spaces as such function to stabilize the urban conventional life in those small cities. |
