"There is a Beijing in my heart, but I can't articulate it," wrote Lao She, the great Chinese writer, in 1936. Mapping Modern Beijing explores the various ways authors sought to understand and articulate this ancient capital, modern city, and socialist metropolis. Song investigates five modes of representing Beijing: as a warped hometown, a city of snapshots and manners, an aesthetic city, an imperial capital in comparative and cross-cultural perspective, and a displaced city on the Sinophone and diasporic postmemory. Drawing from literary canons to exotic narratives, from modernist poetry to chivalric fantasy, from popular culture to urban planning, this book explores the complex nexus of urban spaces, archives of emotions, and literary topography of Beijing in its long journey from imperial capital to Republican city and to socialist metropolis. While most English-language literary studies of China focus on its rural locales, Song's study presents a welcome departure, expanding our understandings of Chinese literature into the urban and the modern.

一個四平八穩的學術著作,一個已經說過很多次的話題,城市與文學想象。作者訓練很好,但不知道為什麼我們需要另外一本這樣的書。

評分北平的文學圖譜,用“情感”作綫穿在一起,就其自身而言是無懈可擊的研究。隻是不知道為什麼2018年還需要這樣的書,也不知道為什麼這本書(從論文開始)需要寫十幾年。簡介說“most English-language literary studies of China focus on its rural locales”,更不知道這是哪個世界的英語中國文學研究。
