Inter-disciplinary in approach, this collection of essays explores China’s reform era development within the concept of translocality. A key element of spatial change in today’s China has been the unprecedented geographic mobility of millions of labour migrants, tourists, brides, entrepreneurs, and many others. But translocality doesn’t just mean people. It is crucially constituted by the circulation of capital, ideas, images, goods, styles, services, and disease to name but a few.
With contributions from well-respected China specialists, the essays focus simultaneously on mobilities and localities, drawing our attention to the multiplying forms of mobility in China whilst retaining the importance of localities in people’s lives. The book provides a clear path to understanding the importance of translocality as a concept along with concrete examples of its operation in China. Unique in approach, it is at once a study of the connections between location and culture, politics, economics, bodies, gender and technology.

评分第一次看人文地理方面的英文学术著作,苦啃了一个月还是“硬性接收,内化不能”的阶段,更要命的是还要在导师读书会上作这本书的读后报告(至今想起仍有余悸)。尽管如此,里面好几篇实证性文章的视角和案例比较新奇,在不需要作报告的前提下,以逸趣闲书待之也不错。
