前两章对明代社会生活的观察很独特,后两章基本上是textual analysis。费强调明代城市的特质,排斥将明清城市统而论之的做法;描述城市认同的建构,勾勒城市空间的边缘,将城市与乡村进行区分。其实在大方向上没有偏离台湾前辈们的路数,只是将那些熟悉的结论翻译成了英文而已。
评分这个选题是极好的,方法和撰写策略都很好,但是概念和材料上有很多问题,但仍值得一读。
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。
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。
评分这个选题是极好的,方法和撰写策略都很好,但是概念和材料上有很多问题,但仍值得一读。

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.
