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.

用戶評價
前兩章對明代社會生活的觀察很獨特，後兩章基本上是textual analysis。費強調明代城市的特質，排斥將明清城市統而論之的做法；描述城市認同的建構，勾勒城市空間的邊緣，將城市與鄉村進行區分。其實在大方嚮上沒有偏離颱灣前輩們的路數，隻是將那些熟悉的結論翻譯成瞭英文而已。
评分主要關注space而不是place的書。Intro有詳細地關於Skinner, Weber, Mote, Faure等人對於“城鄉”的學術史梳理。費思言不把“城市”當成經濟發展的結果，或者找尋所謂的“城市身份認同”，而是認為“城市”在明代的話語中也一直在被不同的群體所討論，因而是被塑造的space。
评分很精彩的書，前兩章結閤政治與社會史的取徑尤其有意思。強調朝代作為城市史研究尺度的重要性，也很有啟發。
评分About places and space; thinking about why “space” is more powerful and popular than “place” in the literati circle
