This is the second volume of a two-volume social history of nineteenth-century Hankow, a city of over one million inhabitants and the commercial hub of central China. In the first volume, Hankow: Commerce and Society in a Chinese City, 1796-1889 (1984), the author emphasized the dynamism of late imperial commerce, the relation of the metropolis to its hinterland, and the corporate institutions of the city, notably its guilds, which assumed a number of functions we normally attribute to a municipal government. In this volume, the focus is on the people of Hankow, in all their ethnic diversity, occupational variety, and constant mobility, and on the social bonds that enabled this mass of people to live and work in a crowded city with much less disruptive social conflict than occurred in Hankow's counterparts in early modern Europe.
Built into the argument of the book is a running comparison nineteenth-century Hankow with such cities as London and Paris in the somewhat earlier period when they, too, were experiencing the growing pains of nascent preindustrial capitalism. How are we to account for the fact that the cities of early modern Europe were so much more prone to protest and social upheaval than Hankow was in a comparable stage of development? The author finds the answer in the cultural hegemony of an activist elite that fostered moral consensus, social harmony, and an aura of solicitude for the well-being of residents at every social level, exemplified in such service institutions as poor relief, firefighting, and public security.
Toward the end of the nineteenth century, however, the social bonds that had held Hankow together were beginning to fragment, as social polarization and growing class-consciousness fostered an atmosphere of increasing unrest.
作者云:“我写两本汉口花了20年,第三本书花了15年,写那篇public sphere的文章花了20分钟。可是别人说起我,都要引那篇文章。”说完大笑,“remember, life is unfair.”

评分作者云:“我写两本汉口花了20年,第三本书花了15年,写那篇public sphere的文章花了20分钟。可是别人说起我,都要引那篇文章。”说完大笑,“remember, life is unfair.”
评分作者在书里的每一章都有意识地把汉口的经历和现代早期西欧城市的经历作比较,并且强调汉口和西欧城市的不同和相同处,可见直到80年代末,整个城市史领域不管是理论框架还是实例的研究,研究非西方地区的学者依然免不了以西方历史经验为参照物。罗威廉也许影响最大的就是对public sphere的讨论了。此书里对public sphere概念的定义和材料的论证,应该可以算是跳出了哈贝马斯的框架,在如今依然有参考性。 算是中国近现代史必读吧。
评分可能有人不同意他的结论,但是这个研究还是相当扎实的。读完真是觉得可惜,何必非扯进哈贝马斯呢,你们的点明明不一样啊。
