評分urbanization and agency.
評分能把城市這個很容易寫得爛大街的話題寫得翔實有趣而又格局開闊,很佩服。作者的史料功夫很紮實,對理論的討論雖然時有生硬之處但總體妥當。第三第四章倒也隻是站在彆人的肩膀上而已,第一第二章則格外好看:用製度來講空間,看事件與社會結構的變化如何重新定義瞭空間。
評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。但話說迴來,我是多想有一個這麼簡單明白的dissertation架構啊。
評分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。

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.
