Production and reconstruction of food cultural spaces from a glocalization perspective: Evidence from Yanji City

This study constructs a theoretical framework for the production and reconstruction of food cultural space from a glocalization perspective. Through a qualitative analysis, we analyse the practice and representation of food cultural space in Yanji City. The results show that food cultural spaces have evolved from commercial residential to open urban leisure consumption spaces through a leap from a quantitative to a qualitative change.It integrates fashionable cultural consumption elements into the optimisation and expression of urban space extension, thus achieving the spatial image of symbolic communication. As the representational space of residents' daily life, the evolution of food cultural space is accompanied by capital multiplication, power cultivation, and class mobility, which play an important role in promoting urban space expansion and social structure renewal. The results enrich the research on food cultural space under the background of glocalisation and provide a reference for the sustainable development of urban cultural space.
