Abstract：From the micro-geographical perspective, the home, as a microcosm of society, constitutes a space where material and emotions intertwine. The geography of home has become a prominent topic in human geography in recent years, in which many scholars pay attention to the exploration of specific domestic spaces. The study space, as a distinctive space in Chinese traditional culture, plays a significant role in the evolution and development of the home. This research, based on the collection of online textual data, adopts grounded theory and utilizes Nvivo 11 as a qualitative analysis tool. It takes the representation and non-representation as its perspective and delves into the study space of intellectuals in Chinese universities from the viewpoint of home. The findings of this research reveal a fascinating expansion process of the study space throughout the long-term urbanization process. From its humble beginnings as a 'temporary space', the study space has evolved into a 'semi-space', and an 'independent space', and, in some cases, even culminating in the emergence of a 'super space'. The study space is symbolically represented by 'culture and feelings', showcasing the personalized self-order of university intellectuals. The non-representation of the study space is equally intriguing and multifaceted, characterized by both practical and emotional dimensions. The practices of university intellectuals in the study space include work and daily practices as well as spatial production practices such as spatial conflicts. The representation and non-representation of the study space are interconnected and mutually influential. Intellectuals construct and represent the study space through imagination, while the personalized environment of the study space enables them to practice more effectively.
