摘要

本文旨在引介近幾年英文文獻關於量體地理學的觀點與概念，並且指出當代地緣政治與環境議題，必須要從平面思考轉向量體思考，才能夠掌握量體特徵與其政治權力。首先，本研究將說明量體轉向的由來：量體的定義、地緣政治立體化所引發的安全治理、地緣政治與地球物理政治關聯，以及量體中的情感與身體經驗，說明量體研究的重點在於揭示量體的政治與權力運作。其次，透過天／空／氣作為安全治理，說明地緣政治與安全治理已經延伸到大氣當中，大氣自身已經成為反恐監控的對象，並具有階級差異。第三，本文分析指出地緣政治與地球物理政治兩者是會相互影響，指出量體中的物質性如何鬆動僵固的靜態領土想像，其中包含地質資源探勘、潮濕本體論與大氣具象化三個部分。第四，聚焦在量體中的情感與身體經驗，探討身體在藝術－技術物－環境三者關係，指出當人們身處與浸淫於量體空間中，將會感受到量體的質地與氛圍，進而形成情感。最後，本文將提出未來在量體研究上值得深入探討的議題。

This review article on Volume Geography argues that contemporary geopolitical and environmental issues should be retheorized by volumetric thinking. This review is divided into four main sections. The first section introduces the key concepts in volume studies literature, namely the definition of volume, three-dimensional geopolitics and security governance, relationship between geophysical politics and geopolitics, and affect and body within a volume. The second section elaborates the roles of air, aerospace, atmosphere and weather in security governance. The third section discusses the challenges posed by geophysical processes to related practices of resource ownership, territorial boundary, and soverignty power. The fourth section explains how affect and body experience within the volume are formed, re-presented and transformed via arts and technologies and through environments. The conclusion notes certain theoretical and empirical implications.
