Popis: | 107 Space is not an extraordinary idea but indispensable dimension of our everyday life; however, there has never been fully clarified and comprehend. Taking the Pokémon Goers' game practices as the targets and observation objects, this study finds out that with the development and progress of media technology, the hidden and obscure space is gradually appearing, and carries out a different appearance from the past. This study reviews and clarifies the existing concepts and theories of space, and after verifying and contrasting with Pokémon Goers' game practices, it is found that the existing theories do not fully interpret the spatial state that Pokémon Goers face, and thus leads to the two dimensions: the body and the media. This study attempts to superimpose these two with space and propose the hypothesis of "body-media-space" to quest about the everyday life space again. This study uses the self-ethnography as the main method of research, and collects the Pokémon GOer's game practice process and experience by participating in observation and semi-structured in-depth interviews, summarizing the commonality of Pokémon GOer in the game, and then based on this Test, adjust and interpret the "body-media-space" hypothesis. The study found that Pokémon GOer uses media as the switching hub of the overall state of "body-media-space" in the process of game practice, and only when the body, medium and "space" are in the balance state, the whole The state is maintained. When the Pokémon GOer is unable to adapt and adjust the elements or interference generated by any of the faces, the overall state is broken. In addition, the "body-media-space" state is composed of constantly changing, fluctuating and cyclical bodies, media and "spaces". It is also an open whole that is constantly fluctuating and changing. Finally, with the definition and clarification of the overall state of “body-media-space”, this study can further delineate and determine that space itself should also have the characteristics of volatility, change, circulation and openness, rather than as described in the previous literature, with a fixed range and boundaries. |
