Urbanization was central to development in late imperial China. Yet its impact is heatedly debated, although scholars agree that it triggered neither Weberian urban autonomy nor Habermasian civil society. This book argues that this conceptual impasse derives from the fact that the seemingly continuous urban expansion was in fact punctuated by a wide variety of “dynastic urbanisms.” Historians should, the author contends, view urbanization not as an automatic by-product of commercial forces but as a process shaped by institutional frameworks and cultural trends in each dynasty.
This characteristic is particularly evident in the Ming. As the empire grew increasingly urbanized, the gap between the early Ming valorization of the rural and late Ming reality infringed upon the livelihood and identity of urban residents. This contradiction went almost unremarked in court forums and discussions among elites, leaving its resolution to local initiatives and negotiations. Using Nanjing—a metropolis along the Yangzi River and onetime capital of the Ming—as a central case, the author demonstrates that, prompted by this unique form of urban-rural contradiction, the actions and creations of urban residents transformed the city on multiple levels: as an urban community, as a metropolitan region, as an imagined space, and, finally, as a discursive subject.
三四两章确实弱了一些,现在听了太多negotiation以后,觉得这个词有点取巧。

评分非常好的綜述和發明,尤其前兩章寫稅收和築城的。後兩章純分析representation和discourse。論述多因前人理路而發,少那麼一點點氣場把整本書擰在一起。但話說回來,我是多想有一個這麼簡單明白的dissertation架構啊。
评分About places and space; thinking about why “space” is more powerful and popular than “place” in the literati circle
评分Intro非常惊艳,但第二章开始出现一些minor problem。总体上看瑕不掩瑜,回应多方学术传统并尝试开辟新战场。
