摘要:在哈维所揭示的“时空压缩”进程中,资本逻辑不断加速空间的重构与时间的碎片化,使个体经验游移于实时性与不确定性之间。当代中国青年正深陷其中,他们在城市化与数字化交织的网络中迁徙与生存,在算法节奏中构建关系与认同,面对的是被高度压缩的生活空间与不断被打断的时间感。他们既承受全球资本“现在性”的重压,也在流动中寻找归属与意义。在这一张力下,青年文化实践成为一种追索根系、抵抗抽象同质化的过程,是对生活位置、价值坐标和未来可能性的重新协商与想象。

Title: Cultural Identity of Contemporary Chinese Youth in the Perspective of “Time–Space Compression”

Abstract: Within the process of “time–space compression” as revealed by David Harvey, the logic of capital incessantly accelerates the reconstruction of space and the fragmentation of time, rendering individual experiences suspended between immediacy and uncertainty. Contemporary Chinese youth are deeply entangled in this condition: they migrate and survive within networks shaped by the interweaving of urbanization and digitalization, constructing relationships and identities under the rhythms of algorithmic regulation. They confront highly compressed living spaces and a constantly interrupted sense of temporality. While bearing the heavy pressure of the global capital’s “presentism,” they simultaneously seek belonging and meaning within mobility. Under such tensions, youth cultural practices emerge as processes of tracing roots and resisting abstract homogenization, thereby renegotiating and reimagining their life positions, value coordinates, and possible futures.
