具體描述
This is the second volume of a two-volume social history of nineteenth-century Hankow, a city of over one million inhabitants and the commercial hub of central China. In the first volume, Hankow: Commerce and Society in a Chinese City, 1796-1889 (1984), the author emphasized the dynamism of late imperial commerce, the relation of the metropolis to its hinterland, and the corporate institutions of the city, notably its guilds, which assumed a number of functions we normally attribute to a municipal government. In this volume, the focus is on the people of Hankow, in all their ethnic diversity, occupational variety, and constant mobility, and on the social bonds that enabled this mass of people to live and work in a crowded city with much less disruptive social conflict than occurred in Hankow's counterparts in early modern Europe.
Built into the argument of the book is a running comparison nineteenth-century Hankow with such cities as London and Paris in the somewhat earlier period when they, too, were experiencing the growing pains of nascent preindustrial capitalism. How are we to account for the fact that the cities of early modern Europe were so much more prone to protest and social upheaval than Hankow was in a comparable stage of development? The author finds the answer in the cultural hegemony of an activist elite that fostered moral consensus, social harmony, and an aura of solicitude for the well-being of residents at every social level, exemplified in such service institutions as poor relief, firefighting, and public security.
Toward the end of the nineteenth century, however, the social bonds that had held Hankow together were beginning to fragment, as social polarization and growing class-consciousness fostered an atmosphere of increasing unrest.

評分 評分作者通过对汉口19世纪经济社会史的考察，借助施坚雅中心地理论分析框架，形成了很多关于传统帝国城市发展的判断和看法，包括1）国家与商业的关系，不是专制主义勾结的关系。2）19世纪后期，中国传统银行业至少已部分成功的形成了统一的、反应敏捷的全国性金融市场。3）集中的地...
評分 評分作者罗威廉在社会学者施坚雅（G. W. Skiner）用“中心地方”理论以研究中国城市的观点的基礎上，用漢口行會組織的先鋒作用為实例，驳斥了马克斯·韦伯等人对于中国城市并不曾有過類似歐洲中世紀城市“都市團體”的政治制度和社會結構的觀點。 作者考察了1796-1889年間武...

城市史有看頭，筆觸細膩，早期現代性也尚可咀嚼，硬與西歐平行、蹚公民社會公域渾水則力不從心。羅氏眼中漢口早期現代性：長距離貿易擴張將漢口置於貨物貿易與轉運中心地位，商行規模突破傢庭作坊但未齣現大規模流水綫生産；人口擴張導緻市內階層分野和各階層/地域自我結社保護等，形成內捲化城市認同和保護共同體，各社會群體藉助市內空間聯結溝通、排斥無賴等無社會紐帶人群，但未齣現歐洲式城市貧民集聚、動亂和階級矛盾；公共建設、社會治安等事業無需工業化已逐漸科層和專業化；衝突割裂並未將社區推嚮自由社會。此皆賴無行政層級名分漢口城內自發精英團體—商團、行會、士紳公會等—資助管理地方建設、慈善事業、人口管理、治安控製、營造團結，創造公域，官府隻起支持、結盟、核準作用。可謂中國式公域，無必要硬拗哈貝馬斯之文化、批判公域概念

评分中譯本的《漢口》原隻齣瞭上捲。二捲也很精彩：諸如，地契、地權糾紛、城市空間格局的曆史演化、地方自治的團體、廟會、幫派的研究，都在這本書裏。研究漢口的重要參考文獻。尤其對城市規劃的學生。這本書現在已經有中譯本瞭。
评分A Habermas story (how merchant-elites became more and more involved in the institutionalization of city order) and a Simmel Story (conflicts can be both integrative and destructive). The book ends beautifully at the 1883 crisis, which makes Hankow not only an unique case before 1911, but also an indicative prelude to structural changes after 1911.
