Distracting the Chaos: Research on the Urban Space of Lanching Since the Ming and Qing Dynasties
by Zhou Jia
About This Novel
This book uses "space" as the entry point and the process of urban change as a clue to explore issues related to Linqing's urbanity and modernity. "Space" here refers not only to geographical space or tangible space, but also to social space or invisible space, or the unity of these spaces. By analyzing the relationship between different historical periods, different social classes, different urban landscapes and urban societies, a platform for "dialogue" is built between history and reality; through the continuous "reproduction" process of urban space, the relationship between "space and power" is explored, revealing how dominant power combines with various social and cultural forces under different historical conditions, and then affects people's concepts and practices in various spatial carriers or shapes. Furthermore, the discussion of urban spatial changes and its life course will also help to deepen the understanding of the historical practical logic of national transformation in modern times.
