Refugees are figures whose identities are socially and politically perceived and constructed. However, the mechanisms by which this construction persists in digital space are inadequately explored. This study aims to investigate the process of knowledge production about refugees in the digital social space, Instagram. A digital ethnography was conducted on an Instagram news aggregator, combining discourse analysis, visual analysis of 121 posts, and an interview with the account administrator to explore how the Rohingya are represented and how knowledge about them is constructed on the platform. Findings highlight that knowledge production builds upon the mechanism of platformisation of news and networked knowledge-sharing, which is also influenced by platform affordances. Rather than playing as a passive medium, Instagram acts actively by being involved in the socio-political processes of framing narratives about refugees by recommending or limiting specific narratives. A socio-technical process emerges through this interaction between the platform and human agencies, shaping refugee identities in a way that fosters decentralised knowledge production yet lacks accuracy. This study provokes further exploration of digital geography, particularly in the context of digital meaning-making of vulnerable groups and its implications for public attitudes toward refugees in real life.

难民的身份是社会和政治认知和建构出来的。然而，这种结构在数字空间中持续存在的机制尚未得到充分探讨。本研究旨在探讨难民在数字社交空间Instagram中的知识生产过程。在Instagram新闻聚合器上进行了一项数字民族志研究，结合话语分析、121篇帖子的视觉分析以及对账户管理员的采访，探索罗兴亚人是如何被代表的，以及关于他们的知识是如何在平台上构建的。研究结果强调，知识生产建立在新闻平台化和网络知识共享机制的基础上，这一机制也受到平台可视性的影响。Instagram不是被动的媒介，而是通过推荐或限制特定的叙事，积极参与构建难民叙事的社会政治过程。通过平台和人类机构之间的这种互动，出现了一个社会技术过程，以一种促进分散知识生产但缺乏准确性的方式塑造了难民身份。这项研究引发了对数字地理学的进一步探索，特别是在弱势群体的数字意义构建及其对现实生活中公众对难民态度的影响的背景下。

The digital mundane and the experiential production of public space 数字世俗和公共空间的体验生产

The role that our engagements with digital technology play in producing urban public space are often and easily taken for granted. Seeking to remedy this, there has been a groundswell of scholarship in digital geography that explores how various digital technologies are experienced as part of everyday life in public space. In this article I extend this scholarship by arguing that digital technology is not only an important experiential phenomenon, but that, through our mundane engagements, it also configures together with the urban bodies, mass, and matter to produce public space. To account for the spatially productive role of digital technology I develop an understanding of public space as contingent and dynamic, and show how this allows us to understand space as becoming public when it is experienced as such, by locating the everyday material and affective engagements with digital technology that contribute to those experiences. This orientation towards everyday life offers an important counterpoint to narratives that relate the production of public space to top-down engagements with digital technologies, as in smart and platform cities. It also contributes to the critical evaluation of public space by showing how digital technology is part of the ongoing configuration of that space, through the everyday life that takes place there.

我们与数字技术的接触在创造城市公共空间中所起的作用往往很容易被视为理所当然。为了解决这一问题，数字地理学领域出现了一股学术热潮，探索各种数字技术如何成为公共空间日常生活的一部分。在这篇文章中，我通过论证数字技术不仅是一种重要的体验现象，而且通过我们的世俗参与，它还与城市主体、大众和物质一起配置，以产生公共空间，从而扩展了这一学术研究。为了解释数字技术在空间上的生产性作用，我将公共空间理解为偶然的和动态的，并通过定位有助于这些体验的日常材料和与数字技术的情感接触，展示这如何使我们理解空间在经历这种体验时变得公共。这种对日常生活的取向为公共空间的生产与自上而下的数字技术（如智能和平台城市）联系起来的叙述提供了一个重要的对比。它还通过展示数字技术如何成为公共空间持续配置的一部分，通过在那里发生的日常生活，有助于对公共空间进行批判性评估。

This article contributes to literature on digital platforms as place-makers by developing the concept of the “platform as contact zone”. Envisaging platforms as variously layered “contact zones”, we show how platforms today play a pivotal role in the organization of exchanges and transactions between local actors and visitors, both on-line and on site. Drawing on a case study in Palermo, Sicily, we show that reviews on digital platforms have become important “scripts” for the production of urban space in touristified cities. Analysing mundane, often invisible, urban interventions conducted by hosts – such as evicting squatters or adding street lighting – the article reflects on how reviews as scripts contribute to produce an urban landscape shaped by a neo-colonial aesthetic. We conclude with a cautionary note regarding the temptation to over-emphasize platform power and a call for further nuanced studies of the non-linear urban effects of platforms as contact zones.

本文通过提出“平台作为接触区”的概念，为数字平台作为场所制造者的文献做出了贡献。我们将平台设想为不同层次的“接触区域”，展示了今天的平台如何在组织当地参与者和游客之间的交流和交易中发挥关键作用，无论是在线还是现场。通过对西西里岛巴勒莫的案例研究，我们发现数字平台上的评论已经成为旅游城市中城市空间生产的重要“脚本”。这篇文章分析了房东进行的世俗的、往往是无形的城市干预——比如驱逐占有者或增加街道照明——反思了作为剧本的评论如何有助于产生新殖民主义美学塑造的城市景观。最后，我们对过度强调平台力量的诱惑提出了警告，并呼吁对平台作为接触区域的非线性城市效应进行进一步细致的研究。

The objective of this study is to investigate how transnational and translocal migrant networks contribute to knowledge acquisition, resource sharing, and collaborations related to environmental change adaptation. By using a combination of qualitative interviews and novel visual mapping techniques, this study seeks to understand how and by whom remittances are shared, including digital mobilities (e.g., social media and other forms of digital communication). By doing so, more insights can be gained in how and which kind of knowledge is shared among migrant networks, and which actors and knowledge exchanges yield specific impacts on environmental change. Using data obtained from 19 Moroccan migrants living in Tenerife, the research aims to elucidate patterns, clusters, and relationships within migrant networks to facilitate a comprehensive understanding of their role in addressing environmental change challenges. Our findings reveal that community networks not only foster collective awareness and action on environmental change through shared experiences and mutual support but also emphasize the significance of decentralized, community-led approaches due to personal narratives within social networks. Moreover, digital mobilities, especially social media, play a crucial role in disseminating knowledge and mobilizing support for environmental change.

本研究的目的是探讨跨国和跨地方移民网络如何促进与环境变化适应相关的知识获取、资源共享和合作。本研究结合定性访谈和新颖的视觉绘图技术，试图了解如何以及由谁分享汇款，包括数字流动（例如，社交媒体和其他形式的数字通信）。通过这样做，可以更深入地了解移民网络之间如何以及哪种知识共享，以及哪些行为者和知识交流对环境变化产生具体影响。该研究利用从居住在特内里费岛的19名摩洛哥移民中获得的数据，旨在阐明移民网络中的模式、集群和关系，以促进对他们在应对环境变化挑战方面的作用的全面理解。我们的研究结果表明，社区网络不仅通过分享经验和相互支持来促进对环境变化的集体意识和行动，而且还强调了由于社会网络中的个人叙述而分散的、社区主导的方法的重要性。此外，数字移动，特别是社交媒体，在传播知识和动员支持环境变化方面发挥着至关重要的作用。

Genealogy of a data ecosystem: The digitalisation of planning development and control in Ireland, 2000–2024 一个数据生态系统的谱系：规划发展和控制的数字化在爱尔兰，2000-2024

In this paper, we document how a data ecosystem emerges and evolves as a socio-technical assemblage over a 25 year period charting its digitalisation as it transfers from a paper-based endeavour to one that is digitally mediated. Our case study is the development and control function (the management of the planning and construction pipeline from planning application, to appeals process, to building control) of the Irish planning system. We propose that how a data ecosystem is constructed and unfolds in practice is through the processes of visioning, articulation, scaffolding, and overwriting. Using this framing, we document the adoption of a set of related IT management systems by planning actors at local and national scale and how they have been stitched together to form a functioning, multi-scalar data ecosystem. Our longitudinal analysis reveals the contingent, relational nature of technology adoption and the construction and evolution of data ecosystems, and the social, political and technical work that continually reconfigures their relations and practices.

在本文中，我们记录了一个数据生态系统是如何在25年的时间里作为一个社会技术组合出现和发展的，并描绘了它从基于纸张的努力向数字媒介的转变过程中的数字化。我们的案例研究是爱尔兰规划系统的开发和控制功能（从规划申请到上诉程序到建筑控制的规划和建设管道的管理）。我们建议，数据生态系统是如何在实践中构建和展开的，是通过设想、衔接、搭建和覆盖的过程。使用这个框架，我们记录了通过规划地方和国家规模的参与者来采用一组相关的IT管理系统，以及它们如何被拼接在一起形成一个功能齐全的多标量数据生态系统。我们的纵向分析揭示了技术采用和数据生态系统的构建和演变的偶然性和关联性，以及不断重新配置其关系和实践的社会、政治和技术工作。

Provincialising platform citizenship: Citizen participation in and through civic platforms 平台公民的省区化：公民参与和通过公民平台

Commercial digital platforms possess a universal design and interface regardless of cities or particular political-cultural traditions. This is also the case for corporately owned platforms designed to facilitate citizen engagement in civic issues. In contrast, civic platforms rooted in a FOSS approach are configurable and can be adapted in context to produce tailored interactions. In this paper, we examine what this adaptability means for citizenship when citizens can be involved in the making and running of platforms, and can take an active role in city governance using civic platforms. We revisit the analytical framework developed by Cardullo and Kitchin (2019a) – the scaffold of smart citizen participation – to consider the platformisation of urban living designed to empower citizens to take an active role in management and governance processes and decision-making. In particular, we focus on the scaffold's least explored rungs, ‘citizen power’, providing a comparative analysis of instances of Decidim, a civic platform designed to engender collaborative governance, along with its associated soft infrastructure, in Barcelona, New York and Brazil. We highlight how different instances of the same platform can confer different citizenship relations depending on how it is framed, configured and used. In other words, platform citizenship is provincialized, enabling alternative futures to emerge from mainstream knowledge claims about citizens' role in platform urbanisation.

商业数字平台拥有通用的设计和界面，而不受城市或特定政治文化传统的影响。对于旨在促进公民参与公民问题的企业平台来说，情况也是如此。相比之下，基于自由/开源软件方法的公民平台是可配置的，可以在上下文中进行调整以产生定制的交互。在本文中，我们研究了当公民可以参与平台的制作和运行，并可以在城市治理中发挥积极作用时，这种适应性对公民意味着什么。我们重新审视了Cardullo和Kitchin （2019a）开发的分析框架——智能公民参与的框架——以考虑城市生活的平台化，旨在使公民能够在管理和治理过程以及决策中发挥积极作用。我们特别关注脚手架上最不被探索的阶梯，“公民权力”，提供Decidim实例的比较分析，Decidim是一个旨在产生协作治理的公民平台，以及巴塞罗那、纽约和巴西的相关软基础设施。我们强调了同一平台的不同实例如何根据其框架、配置和使用方式赋予不同的公民关系。换句话说，平台公民身份被地方化了，使得关于公民在平台城市化中的作用的主流知识主张中出现了另一种未来。

The coming of the post-digital workplace? A survey of how white-collar workers experience and cope with digital media reliance.

New media technology can both hamper and amplify workers' agency. Much research shows that the ambiguities of digital reliance are accentuated among office workers, especially knowledge workers, who spend most of their working time handling different types of information and data. Thus, in times of constant connectivity, people might feel compelled to create time-spaces for disconnection, or find spatial and temporal routines for restricting their use of digital tools. This article provides a quantitative analysis, based on a survey, of how private and public officials (“white-collar workers”) in Sweden experience and handle digital media reliance at work, with a special focus on whether they think communicative and territorial agency are enhanced or constrained under digitalized working conditions. Based on a principal component analysis (PCA), five dispositions toward (the handling of) digital media reliance are identified: the skepctical, the embracing, the captivated, the reluctant and the disciplined. These dispositions are further analyzed in relation to demographic and contextual variables, pointing especially to the significance of employment sector. While digital media reliance is appreciated and associated with extended agency by many informants, the study also reveals different facets of post-digital sentiments and tactics. These are particularly constitutive of the skeptical disposition, reflecting inclinations to avoid certain media and find alternatives to digital tools, but also in the disciplined disposition which encompasses internalized routines for media use. The study also shows that the normalization of digitalized work processes is entwined with, and necessitates, different forms of territorial micro-politics extending beyond the workplace per se.

后数字化工作场所的到来？一项关于白领如何体验和应对数字媒体依赖的调查。新媒体技术既会阻碍也会扩大工人的能动性。许多研究表明，在办公室工作人员中，尤其是知识型工作人员，他们的大部分工作时间都在处理不同类型的信息和数据，因此数字依赖的模糊性更加突出。因此，在持续连接的时代，人们可能会感到被迫创造时空来断开连接，或者找到空间和时间惯例来限制他们使用数字工具。本文基于一项调查，对瑞典的私人和公共官员（“白领”）如何在工作中体验和处理数字媒体依赖进行了定量分析，特别关注他们是否认为在数字化工作条件下沟通和领土代理得到了增强或限制。基于主成分分析（PCA），确定了对数字媒体依赖（处理）的五种倾向：怀疑型、拥抱型、着迷型、不情愿型和自律型。进一步分析了这些倾向与人口和环境变量的关系，特别指出了就业部门的重要性。虽然数字媒体依赖得到了许多线人的认可，并与扩展代理联系在一起，但该研究也揭示了后数字情绪和策略的不同方面。这些特别构成了怀疑倾向，反映了避免某些媒体和寻找数字工具替代品的倾向，但也包含了媒体使用的内化程序的纪律倾向。该研究还表明，数字化工作流程的正常化与工作场所之外的不同形式的地域微观政治交织在一起，并且需要这种政治。

(En) coding care into digital urbanism: Vignettes of collective practices 将护理编码到数字城市主义：集体实践的小片段

The tech-entrepreneurial model behind the computation of urban processes is (re) producing what has already been identified as a technocratic, solutionist, and commodifying model of urban planning. Within this model, not only is caring not a prerequisite of urban production, but decade(s)in of smartification and platformization practices shows diminishing the spaces, infrastructure, and socio-economic relations that were co-produced to generate care.

Through the lens of feminist geography, care is examined as a multidimensional concept encompassing socio-spatial dynamics, power relations, and ethical urban practices. Using empirical data from three research projects, the study showcases alternative digital urbanism practices, categorized into three vignettes: refusal, commoning, and reappropriation. These categories are illustrated with cases such as grassroots food cooperatives, feminist hack-spaces, digital sovereignty initiatives, platform-based welfare experiments and civil society initiatives such as Code for Germany.

By situating care within the spatial and social fabric of urban life, the paper argues for its potential as a politic, practice, and epistemology that challenges the exploitative logic of contemporary digital infrastructures. The findings reveal the embeddedness of care practices within local contexts, highlighting the dual need for trans-local networks and territorial embeddedness. This study contributes to the discourse on caring digital urbanism, advancing a feminist theorisation of everyday digital urbanism.

城市过程计算背后的技术创业模式正在（重新）产生已经被确定为技术官僚、解决方案主义者和商品化的城市规划模式。在这种模式下，不仅关怀不是城市生产的先决条件，而且几十年来的智能化和平台化实践表明，为产生关怀而共同生产的空间、基础设施和社会经济关系正在减少。通过女权主义地理学的镜头，关怀被视为一个多维的概念，包括社会空间动态，权力关系和伦理城市实践。该研究利用来自三个研究项目的经验数据，展示了可选择的数字城市主义实践，分为三个小片段：拒绝、共用和重新占用。这些类别的例子包括基层食品合作社、女权主义黑客空间、数字主权倡议、基于平台的福利实验和公民社会倡议，如“德国代码”。通过将关怀置于城市生活的空间和社会结构中，本文论证了其作为一种政治、实践和认识论的潜力，挑战了当代数字基础设施的剥削逻辑。研究结果揭示了护理实践在当地背景下的嵌入性，突出了跨地区网络和地域嵌入性的双重需求。本研究为关怀数字城市主义的论述做出了贡献，提出了日常数字城市主义的女性主义理论。

The rapid integration of digital platforms into urban life has given rise to the concept of platform urbanism, highlighting the co-constitutive relationship between cities and platforms. While platform urbanism has emerged as an important approach for understanding contemporary cities, the field lacks a robust comparative perspective. To address this gap, we synthesize comparative approaches from platform studies and urban studies to outline a typology of comparative lenses for examining the co-constitution of platforms and cities. We identify three key broad comparative approaches: cross-city comparison of platforms, cross-platform comparison within cities, and simultaneous comparison across both platforms and cities. For each dimension, we propose four analytical approaches: genetic, generative, connective, and integrative comparisons. This yields a 12-cell matrix of comparative strategies, each illuminating different aspects of how platforms and cities shape one another. We illustrate these approaches with examples from short-term rental platforms. The framework highlights understudied areas, particularly the need for more cross-platform comparisons within cities and comparisons across both platforms and cities simultaneously. The proposed comparative lens enables a more nuanced understanding of how diverse platforms interact with varied urban contexts to produce distinct socio-spatial outcomes. This framework lays the groundwork for future comparative research to unpack the complex dynamics of platform urbanism across contexts.

数字平台与城市生活的快速融合催生了平台都市主义的概念，凸显了城市与平台的共构关系。虽然平台城市主义已经成为理解当代城市的一种重要方法，但该领域缺乏强有力的比较视角。为了解决这一差距，我们综合了平台研究和城市研究的比较方法，概述了一种用于检查平台和城市共同构成的比较镜头类型。我们确定了三种主要的比较方法：跨城市的平台比较，城市内的跨平台比较，以及跨平台和城市的同时比较。对于每个维度，我们提出了四种分析方法：遗传比较、生成比较、关联比较和综合比较。这产生了一个12单元格的比较策略矩阵，每个矩阵都阐明了平台和城市如何相互塑造的不同方面。我们用短期租赁平台的例子来说明这些方法。该框架强调了研究不足的领域，特别是需要在城市内进行更多的跨平台比较，以及同时进行跨平台和城市的比较。所提出的比较视角能够更细致地理解不同的平台如何与不同的城市环境相互作用，从而产生不同的社会空间结果。这个框架为未来的比较研究奠定了基础，以揭示平台城市主义在不同背景下的复杂动态。
