Abstract

A spatial perspective on microtoponyms, informal non-standardized names of small objects and places known to the locals, is an often-neglected segment of urban political toponymic theory and practice. Though critically-oriented thinkers have acknowledged the role of vernacular place names in the spatial organization of symbolic cultural landscapes, place-making processes, and the everyday life of people and their communities, conceptual spatial-political theorizations on this subject have been relatively rare. Driven upon the critical toponymic theory, this paper aims to delineate a conceptual framework for studying urban microtoponyms as spatial phenomena by integrating the toponymic plurality notion. Based on examples primarily from non-Western geographical contexts, this paper offers a fresh perspective on urban place naming practices and related spatial processes providing some analytical pathways for critical scholars in urban toponymy and guiding potential empirical investigations in this field.

城市微型地名的问题化
微型地名是当地人熟知的小物件和小地方的非正式非标准化名称,从空间角度看微型地名是城市政治地名理论和实践中经常被忽视的部分。尽管以批判为导向的思想家们已经认识到乡土地名在象征性文化景观的空间组织、地方营造过程以及人们及其社区的日常生活中的作用,但有关这一主题的概念性空间政治理论却相对罕见。在批判地名理论的推动下,本文旨在结合地名多元性概念,为研究作为空间现象的城市微型地名勾勒出一个概念框架。本文主要以非西方地理环境中的实例为基础,为城市地名命名实践和相关空间过程提供了一个全新的视角,为城市地名学批判学者提供了一些分析途径,并为该领域潜在的实证研究提供了指导。
