從城市看中國的現代性

在中國近現代歷史的演變歷程中，城市無疑地扮演了重要的角色。尤其是現代性的特徵在城市裡表現特別明顯，而城市化又是現代性的一部分。本書透過城市來探討現代性的問題，最重要的目的，就是嘗試突破現代化或西化的框架，擴大視野與議題到其它的面向，並且將近現代城市史研究的縱深，延伸到明清時期。本書的14篇論文大致分為兩類，第一類是關於城市生活與文化的面向，第二類則是涉及到城市內群己關係的重新調整。

Cities have played a crucial role throughout the course of modern Chinese history. Numerous aspects of Chinese modernity manifested themselves most clearly in urban settings, with urbanization constituting an essential component of modernity. This book explores the relationship between Chinese cities and modernity, its main goals being to challenge Western models of modernization, broaden scholarly perspectives on these issues by considering a wide range of phenomena, and extend the temporal scope of research on Chinese modernity to the Ming-Qing era. The 14 articles presented in this book can be divided into two types: the first treats facets of urban culture and daily life, while the second examines new forms of interaction between individuals and communities in urban settings.
