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.

能把城市这个很容易写得烂大街的话题写得翔实有趣而又格局开阔,很佩服。作者的史料功夫很扎实,对理论的讨论虽然时有生硬之处但总体妥当。第三第四章倒也只是站在别人的肩膀上而已,第一第二章则格外好看:用制度来讲空间,看事件与社会结构的变化如何重新定义了空间。

费丝言的这本书是近几年最好的关于晚期中华帝国城市史研究作品之一 。本书的导论:A New Approach to Chinese Urbanism,对以往中国城市史研究中的“都市化(urbanization)”问题的探讨提出了自己的质疑。费认为以往的研究使得宋元时期的城市与明清时期的城市只有规模上的差异,而无本质上的差别。不同历史时期的城市都成为了一种不证自明的同质范畴。因此,需要将“城市”和“城市化”置于不同时期的帝国结构中考察。因此,对以小农社会为建国方案的明帝国,在历经了晚明时期的经济结构和社会思想结构变迁的冲击后,其帝国结构发生了怎样的变化,而这些变化转而又是怎样重新界定“城市”和“城市化”的呢?费丝言从政治、文化和社会层面的转变角度出发,给出了自己的答案。
