攤販與街道：非正式經濟的空間與日常生活關係--以台北市為例

Abstract

本論文試圖從有別於一般攤販研究的觀點，來理解都市攤販們的日常生活關係。攤販的活動除了是一種追求獲利的經濟活動之外，更是一種對城市空間不斷改造與挪移的動態過程。本文則希望指出，攤販的經濟活動所賴以維生的基礎，除了經濟性的低廉消費與廉價必需品，同時更重要的是其維生的空間性基礎。建構攤販們的生存與活動基礎的，更重要的是如何在日常的活動當中，在自身所處的空間脈絡當中，創造出能為攤販所用、被允許的活動空間，並且與周遭的行動者共構出微觀的平衡關係。本論文以Lefebvre的空間生產觀點，來理解攤販們的日常活動與空間生產過程，進一步強調這些日常動作與策略的運用，如何穩固了攤販們在街道上的地位，也平衡了攤販們處在國家與私人店家之間的緊張關係。街道上的攤販，做為一種動態而具有活力的日常活動，因此揭露城市空間更開放與動態的一面。

This thesis tries to understand the everyday life of city vendors from an perspective different from traditional ones. The vendors’ activities are not only profit-oriented economical activities, but also an ever-modifying, moving, and dynamic process of city space. This thesis proposes that the base of vendors’ activities is not only economic but also spatial. What constitutes the living base of the vendors is rather the way they construct the permitted and useful space, and strike the balance between themselves and other actors in the everyday life and spatial context. This thesis adopts Lefebvre’s theory of ‘ production of space’ to interpret the everyday life and spatial process of the vendors, and describes how their everyday practice and strategy stabilize the tense relation of vendors in between the nation and the private sectors. Street vendors, as a dynamic and energized everyday activities, disclosure the open and dynamic face of city space.
