The widespread adoption of digital technology has fundamentally reshaped the spatial organization of global economic activities, with platform influencers emerging as novel spatial intermediaries who actively reconfigure regional economic relationships through sophisticated coordination mechanisms that transcend traditional geographical constraints. Whilst existing research predominantly focuses on platform influencers’ marketing communication functions and consumer culture characteristics, systematic investigation of their role in restructuring regional economies from a spatial intermediation perspective remains limited. This paper examines how different types of platform influencer reshape regional economic relationships through distinctive spatial intermediation practices, specifically investigating how top streamers, niche streamers, and micro-streamers establish differentiated spatial connections, configure supply chains and value networks, and generate economic value across regions. We employ a sequential mixed-methods approach combining web-scraped platform data analysis of over 60 million live-streaming sessions from 140,000 streamers, systematic ethnographic observation of 50 representative streamers, and 62 in-depth interviews with stakeholders across four strategically selected Chinese cities. Our findings reveal three distinct types of agency with complementary spatial intermediation capabilities: top streamers demonstrate systematic agency through polycentric networks and comprehensive supply chain management; niche streamers exhibit specialized agency through expertise deployment and manufacturing integration; micro-streamers operate through mediated agency characterized by algorithmic dependence yet combined they generate significant collective impact. We develop a conceptual framework identifying “inter-space fields” as temporary hybrid spaces that platform influencers construct to connect different geographical locations, enabling new forms of territorial economic coordination that blur the boundaries between production and consumption whilst transforming established practices and relationships.

数字技术的广泛采用从根本上重塑了全球经济活动的空间组织，平台影响者成为新的空间中介，通过超越传统地理限制的复杂协调机制积极重新配置区域经济关系。虽然现有的研究主要集中在平台网红的营销传播功能和消费文化特征上，但从空间中介的角度对其在区域经济结构调整中的作用的系统研究仍然有限。本文研究了不同类型的平台网红如何通过独特的空间中介实践重塑区域经济关系，具体研究了顶级网红、小众网红和微网红如何建立差异化的空间联系，配置供应链和价值网络，并产生跨区域的经济价值。我们采用了顺序混合方法，结合了网络抓取平台数据分析，来自14万名主播的6000多万场直播，对50名代表性主播的系统人种学观察，以及对中国四个战略选择城市的利益相关者的62次深度访谈。我们的研究结果揭示了三种具有互补空间中介能力的不同代理类型：顶级流媒体通过多中心网络和综合供应链管理展示了系统性代理；通过专业知识部署和制造集成，小众流媒体呈现专业化代理；微流媒体通过以算法依赖为特征的中介机构运作，但结合起来，它们产生了显著的集体影响。我们开发了一个概念性框架，将“空间间场”识别为平台影响者构建的临时混合空间，以连接不同的地理位置，实现新的地域经济协调形式，模糊生产和消费之间的界限，同时改变既定的实践和关系。

While often championed as win–win solutions for nature and society, nature-based solutions (NBS) can face unexpected local pushback. This study investigates the paradox of why interventions designed to benefit urban communities provoke resistance, taking tree planting as an example. It asks how resistance to urban forestry-as-NBS manifests at the community level, why it emerges, and what outcomes it produces. A donor-funded project in Zomba, Malawi, aimed at reducing flood risks, serves as an embedded case study. The study uncovers a broad spectrum of resistance — ranging from vandalism, protests, noncompliance, tactical obstruction to formal legal appeals — motivated by land-use conflicts, divergent expectations of what problems trees should solve, and perceptions of injustice. Overarching comparative insights suggest that resistance across the different wards of the city shares deeper root causes in terms of simplistic solutions overlooking everyday realities of the socio-political, economic and cultural context. In this respect, the findings mirror critiques of other urban adaptation interventions, such as grey infrastructure and resettlement projects. At the same time, the case highlights distinctive dynamics of resistance to urban forestry-as-NBS. The multifunctionality of trees enabled residents to repurpose them in ways that reflected place-specific contexts and perceptions, for example shifting their role from flood risk mitigation to air purification around a sewage treatment plant. This highlights how multifunctionality can generate contestation over purpose, while also creating opportunities for locally meaningful adaptation. By showing how resistance to urban forestry-as-NBS both reflects broader patterns of contestation in climate adaptation literature and produces distinctive outcomes linked to multifunctionality, the study advances critical perspectives on NBS and contributes to debates on the politics and practice of climate interventions.

基于自然的解决方案（NBS）通常被视为自然和社会的双赢解决方案，但可能面临意想不到的当地阻力。本研究以植树为例，探讨了为什么有利于城市社区的干预措施会引起抵制的悖论。它询问了对城市林业作为国家统计局的抵制是如何在社区层面表现出来的，为什么会出现，以及它会产生什么结果。在马拉维Zomba的一个由捐助者资助的旨在减少洪水风险的项目就是一个嵌入式案例研究。这项研究揭示了广泛的抵制——从破坏、抗议、不服从、战术阻碍到正式的法律上诉——动机包括土地使用冲突、对树木应该解决什么问题的不同期望以及对不公正的看法。总体的比较见解表明，城市不同地区的阻力有着更深层次的根源，就简单化的解决方案而言，忽视了社会政治、经济和文化背景的日常现实。在这方面，研究结果反映了对其他城市适应性干预措施的批评，如灰色基础设施和移民安置项目。与此同时，该案例突出了对城市林业作为国家统计局的独特抵制动态。树木的多功能性使居民能够以反映特定地点的环境和观念的方式重新利用它们，例如将它们的作用从减轻洪水风险转变为污水处理厂周围的空气净化。这突出了多功能性如何产生对目的的争论，同时也为当地有意义的适应创造了机会。通过展示对城市森林作为国家统计局的抵制如何反映了气候适应文献中更广泛的争论模式，并产生了与多功能性相关的独特结果，该研究推进了对国家统计局的批判性观点，并有助于对气候干预的政治和实践的辩论。

In China, the influencer economy is thriving, with a significant agglomeration of influencers in big cities. However, how cities shape their content production and geographical agglomeration remains unclear. Drawing on the symbolic capital theory of Pierre Bourdieu, this paper explores the geographical dimensions of the influencer economy in China, focusing on knowledge-sharing influencers (KSIs). Through in-depth interviews with KSIs, influencer agency bosses, advertisers, and brand representatives, we analyzed how KSIs use the power of big cities to develop their cultural and social capital, and transform it into symbolic and economic capital. This paper offers novel insights for understanding the interactions between influencers and urban environments.

在中国，网红经济正在蓬勃发展，大城市聚集了大量网红。然而，城市如何塑造其内容生产和地理集聚仍不清楚。本文借鉴布迪厄的符号资本理论，以知识共享型网红为研究对象，从地理维度探讨中国网红经济。通过对ksi、网红代理老板、广告商和品牌代表的深度访谈，我们分析了ksi如何利用大城市的力量发展其文化和社会资本，并将其转化为象征资本和经济资本。本文为理解影响者与城市环境之间的相互作用提供了新的见解。

The lowland Bolivian region of La Chiquitania, straddling the Amazon and La Plata River basins, has been severely impacted by recent wildfires. Wildfires increasingly act as an extractivist method for deforesting landscapes, facilitating the conversion of land into property and of subsoil, timber, meat, soy, and minerals into commodities slated for international markets. This article explores how wildfires render landscapes disposable not only for capital but also for a set of environmental mediations that can disempower those most afflicted by climate change. For those targeted by these interventions, wildfires and conservation responses reproduce aspects of earlier histories of territorial displacement by colonial Jesuits, Spanish plantation owners, white and mestizo agro-capitalists, and anti-Indigenous conservationists. Building from collaborative research in this region, I ask how these fires elicit new reflections upon a racialized history of land dispossession to which Indigenous people have been subjected. Against presumptions of a shared atmosphere of harm—the myth of universalism underlying what I call climate affect—the allied responses to wildfire in Chiquitos that I discuss foreground the unequal harms of an ongoing but not new climate apocalypse.

横跨亚马逊河和拉普拉塔河流域的玻利维亚拉奇基塔尼亚低地地区受到最近野火的严重影响。野火越来越多地成为砍伐森林景观的一种采掘手段，促进了土地转化为财产，将底土、木材、肉类、大豆和矿产转化为国际市场上的商品。这篇文章探讨了野火是如何使景观变得可有可无的，不仅对资本来说，而且对一系列环境调解来说，这些调解可以剥夺那些受气候变化影响最严重的人的权力。对于那些受到这些干预的人来说，野火和保护措施再现了早期历史上由殖民耶稣会士、西班牙种植园主、白人和混血人农业资本家以及反土著保护主义者造成的领土迁移。根据在该地区的合作研究，我想知道这些火灾是如何引发对土著人民遭受的土地被剥夺的种族化历史的新反思的。我所讨论的对奇基托斯野火的联合应对，与共同的危害氛围的假设——我称之为气候影响背后的普遍主义的神话——相反，展现了正在进行但不是新的气候末日的不平等危害。

This paper examines practices of resistance to the Interoceanic Corridor mega-project in southern Mexico, focusing on how women¹ are defending their lives in the face of violence from the extractive mega-infrastructure project’s impact on their territories and bodies. The mega-infrastructure project’s objective is to unite the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans at the Isthmus of Tehuantepec. By promoting regional development and modern progress, the Interoceanic Corridor has engendered discontent and instigated protests among the Indigenous and local communities. These resistance movements at the Isthmus of Tehuantepec are part of broader national and international initiatives aimed at safeguarding territorio (territory) threatened by neoliberal development and mega-projects. Engaging with feminist decolonial epistemology, this paper investigates the notion of defensa de la vida (defence of life) and explores how life itself becomes a form of resistance, manifesting through care for human and more-than-human beings. Based on ethnographic fieldwork between 2021 and 2023, including interviews, observations and workshops with women from the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, this paper illustrates how women defend their territorio and lives. This resistance is embodied in their embrace of community, their reciprocal care for more-than-human beings and their daily practices, rituals and celebrations. By tracing these multiple practices of care as mundane forms of everyday resistance, this paper broadens the conception of resistance through care by including a more-than-human dimension.

本文考察了墨西哥南部跨洋走廊大型项目的抵抗实践，重点关注妇女如何在面对采掘性大型基础设施项目对其领土和身体的影响的暴力时捍卫自己的生命。这个大型基础设施项目的目标是在特万特佩克地峡连接大西洋和太平洋。通过促进区域发展和现代进步，大洋间走廊引起了土著和地方社区的不满和抗议。特万特佩克地峡的这些抵抗运动是更广泛的国家和国际倡议的一部分，旨在保护受新自由主义发展和大型项目威胁的领土。本文结合女权主义的非殖民化认识论，探讨了捍卫生命的概念，并探讨了生命本身如何成为一种抵抗形式，表现为对人类和超越人类的关怀。本文基于2021年至2023年间的民族志田野调查，包括对特万特佩克地峡妇女的访谈、观察和研讨会，阐述了妇女如何捍卫自己的领土和生活。这种抵抗体现在他们对社区的拥抱，他们对超越人类的相互关怀以及他们的日常实践、仪式和庆祝活动中。通过将这些护理实践作为日常抵抗的世俗形式进行追踪，本文通过包括超越人类的维度，拓宽了通过护理进行抵抗的概念。

Children’s domestic work, outside of their personal family contexts, has regularly been problematised as an issue of exploitative labour, resulting in a narrow understanding of the diversity of children’s lived experience of such work and impacts into adulthood. Rarely has research focused on the relationships between children who are brought to households to work and the families who employ them. Further, their specific relationships with children of employers have been overlooked. This paper explores the lived experience of both groups, and their intra- and inter-generational relations and emotions within employing households. Drawing primarily on the perspectives of children of employers, triangulated with CDWs’ accounts and the experiences of adults formerly in these relationships in Tanzania, the paper explores how child-child power dynamics shape children’s lived experience in space and time, resulting in a new understanding of children’s identities within complex households. The study exposes far more interwoven relationships within employing households than has so far been understood, including how relative age orders and household time–space contingencies create ambivalent agency among children in African urban households. This has significant implications for policy and practice, which need to take wider account of diverse forms of children’s domestic work circumstances and their interdependent and impactful household relationships.

儿童在其个人家庭环境之外的家务劳动经常被认为是一种剥削性劳动问题，导致人们对儿童在这种工作中的生活经历及其对成年的影响的多样性有狭隘的了解。很少有研究关注被带到家庭工作的儿童与雇用他们的家庭之间的关系。此外，他们与雇主子女的具体关系也被忽视了。本文探讨了这两个群体的生活经历，以及他们在就业家庭中的代际关系和情感。本文主要以雇主子女的视角为基础，结合残疾妇女的描述和坦桑尼亚以前与雇主有这种关系的成年人的经历，探讨了儿童-儿童权力动态如何在空间和时间上塑造儿童的生活经验，从而对复杂家庭中儿童的身份有了新的认识。这项研究揭示了就业家庭内部比迄今为止所了解的更多的相互交织的关系，包括相对年龄顺序和家庭时空偶然性如何在非洲城市家庭中造成儿童之间的矛盾代理。这对政策和做法有重大影响，需要更广泛地考虑到儿童各种形式的家庭工作环境及其相互依存和有影响的家庭关系。

Narratives play an important role in shaping conflicts over land use and resource management , as different perceptions of particular places and their desired development are often at the heart of such conflicts. In this study, we examine how a conflict over proposed amendments to regulations on Svalbard can be understood through narratives. Our case study is Longyearbyen, which has recently transitioned from an economy based on coal mining to a more diversified economy, with tourism, research, and higher education as key contributing factors. These changes are driven by the Norwegian national Svalbard policy, with environmental protection and a stable Norwegian population in Longyearbyen as overall goals. Locally, the changes are communicated and adopted as strategies for becoming a sustainable tourist destination and a low carbon community. Narratives of Svalbard’s future range from playground to wilderness, from sustainable tourism to policy ambitions for strict nature conservation of the Arctic wilderness. Precisely what Svalbard’s wilderness is, and how to best maintain and protect it, remains a contested issue that is tightly connected to the narratives different actors hold of the Archipelago’s past, present, and future. Based on interviews with local tourism actors and authorities, workshops, and analysis of key policy documents, this paper investigates how diverging narratives of Svalbard and its desired future shapes responses to the regulatory process. A narrative approach allows for identifying where differences in value occur, which is key to securing legitimacy in environmental governance under changing climatic, political, and economic conditions, both in Svalbard and elsewhere.

叙事在形成围绕土地使用和资源管理的冲突中发挥着重要作用，因为对特定地方及其期望发展的不同看法往往是此类冲突的核心。在本研究中，我们研究了如何通过叙事来理解关于斯瓦尔巴群岛法规修正案的冲突。我们的案例研究是朗伊尔城，它最近从一个以煤炭开采为基础的经济转变为一个更多元化的经济，旅游、研究和高等教育是关键的促进因素。这些变化是由挪威国家斯瓦尔巴政策推动的，以环境保护和朗伊尔城稳定的挪威人口为总体目标。在当地，这些变化被作为成为可持续旅游目的地和低碳社区的战略进行沟通和采用。关于斯瓦尔巴群岛未来的叙述从游乐场到荒野，从可持续旅游到严格保护北极荒野的政策野心。斯瓦尔巴群岛的荒野究竟是什么，以及如何最好地维护和保护它，仍然是一个有争议的问题，这个问题与不同参与者对群岛的过去、现在和未来的叙述密切相关。本文通过对当地旅游业参与者和当局的采访、研讨会以及对关键政策文件的分析，调查了斯瓦尔巴群岛及其预期未来的不同叙述如何影响对监管过程的反应。叙事方法可以确定价值差异发生的地方，这是在斯瓦尔巴群岛和其他地方不断变化的气候、政治和经济条件下确保环境治理合法性的关键。

Theoretically and empirically, extant research in regional studies has paid little attention to rural development when investigating the role and mechanisms of place-based leadership. This paper extends the leadership approach to a Chinese rural setting by focusing on how grassroots leadership functions in the implementation of rural revitalization initiatives. By integrating insights from place leadership and social innovation (SI), this paper develops a framework for exploring the trajectory of rural transformation with instructive, executive, and supportive leadership of grassroots leaders. By examining a marginal village in northern Jiangsu, China, it articulates how rural SI unfolds in the rising of a new industry path. This paper widens the extant leadership agenda by challenging its city-region centered assumptions and enriches the rural transformation account by synthesizing perspectives of grassroots leadership and process-based innovation, thereby contributing to a more comprehensive understanding of rural development dynamics.

从理论和实证的角度来看，现有的区域研究在考察地方领导的作用和机制时，对农村发展的关注较少。本文通过关注基层领导如何在乡村振兴计划的实施中发挥作用，将领导方法扩展到中国乡村环境。通过整合地方领导和社会创新（SI）的见解，本文开发了一个框架，用于探索基层领导人的指导性、执行性和支持性领导下的农村转型轨迹。通过对中国苏北一个边缘村庄的考察，阐述了农村科学技术是如何在新产业路径的崛起中展开的。本文通过挑战现有的以城市-区域为中心的假设，拓宽了现有的领导议程，并通过综合基层领导和基于过程的创新的视角，丰富了农村转型的解释，从而有助于更全面地理解农村发展的动态。

This article takes a political ecology approach to examine climate change impacts and adaptation among small-scale farmers and gardeners in the Northwest Territories, Canada. While many of the rural people at the heart of this analysis have yet to be fully separated from their means of production and social reproduction, land-based livelihoods are becoming more precarious and uncertain due to climate changes on the land. I draw on four years of ethnographic research in three Northwest Territories’ communities to examine how individuals and communities exert agency in their decisions to migrate, remain, and adopt new forms of food production. Contrary to dominant narratives of climate-driven agricultural frontiers, this research finds that some small-scale farmers are finding agriculture too risky a livelihood strategy. At the same time, some Indigenous communities are expanding subsistence agriculture as a way to adapt to changes in the traditional food system and remain in their homelands.

本文采用政治生态学的方法来研究气候变化对加拿大西北地区小农和园丁的影响和适应。虽然这一分析的核心是许多农村人口尚未完全脱离生产资料和社会再生产，但由于土地上的气候变化，以土地为基础的生计正变得更加不稳定和不确定。我在西北地区的三个社区进行了四年的人种学研究，以研究个人和社区如何在决定迁移、保留和采用新的粮食生产形式时发挥代理作用。与气候驱动的农业前沿的主流叙述相反，这项研究发现，一些小农发现农业作为一种生计战略风险太大。与此同时，一些土著社区正在扩大自给农业，作为适应传统粮食系统变化并留在家园的一种方式。
