因新技術而加速的全球化進程，正在“去遠”文化空間，由此產生的“切近”創造了豐富的文化生活實踐和表達形式。全球化進程起到了積累和集聚的作用，異質的文化內容簇擁到一起。不同文化空間相互疊加，相互滲透。時間同樣失去邊界。簇擁起來的林林總總，不僅讓不同地域，也讓不同時段失去了遙遠性。更準確地反映當今文化之空間性的，不是感知上的跨、間、多，而是超。文化發生了內爆，也就是說，文化被去除了遙遠性，成為超文化。超文化性產生了一種特殊形式的旅行者。超文化旅行者去往的不是反世界，也不是彼處，實際上，他居住在此處與彼處成對稱關係的空間裡，他就在這兒，“內在空間就是他的家”。在景觀的超空間裡衝浪或瀏覽，與朝聖者以及浪漫主義的旅行者的行進方式都截然不同。超文化旅行者從一個此處去往另一個此處，超文化因而是一種關於此在的文化。超文化旅行者在向文化觀光敞開大門的事件的超空間中旅行，因此，超文化旅行者對文化（Kultur）的體驗就是文化―旅行（Kul-Tour）。--------------------韓炳哲作品（第2輯）《山寨：中國式解構》（2023年1月出版）Shanzhai.
