Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of Shanghai: From the Opening of the Port to Foreign Trade There is not much in the way of history to be written of small Foreign Settlements in China which are not yet fifty years old; but during the short time events have happened in Shanghai which imperilled the existence of the place and the times and fortunes of the inhabitants. And a system of Municipal or self-government has been instituted, which is so well adapted to the community, formed of almost all nationalities, and to its relations to the Chinese Government, that it only requires expansion to meet the wants of an increasing population. Since the port of Shanghai was opened to foreign trade in 1843, a British Consul has virtually blockaded the port with a ten-gun sailing brig of war, notwithstanding that his country was at peace with China; the native City has been in the hands of one set of insurgents; and other and more powerful armies of rebels were twice repulsed in their attempts to capture the City and the Settlements.

Download or read book Mapping Modernity in Shanghai written by Samuel Y. Liang and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2010-07-12 with total page 355 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book argues that modernity first arrived in late nineteenth-century Shanghai via a new spatial configuration. This city’s colonial capitalist development ruptured the traditional configuration of self-contained households, towns, and natural landscapes in a continuous spread, producing a new set of fragmented as well as fluid spaces. In this process, Chinese sojourners actively appropriated new concepts and technology rather than passively responding to Western influences. Liang maps the spatial and material existence of these transient people and reconstructs a cultural geography that spreads from the interior to the neighbourhood and public spaces. In this book the author: discusses the courtesan house as a surrogate home and analyzes its business, gender, and material configurations; examines a new type of residential neighbourhood and shows how its innovative spatial arrangements transformed the traditional social order and hierarchy; surveys a range of public spaces and highlights the mythic perceptions of industrial marvels, the adaptations of colonial spatial types, the emergence of an urban public, and the spatial fluidity between elites and masses. Through reading contemporaneous literary and visual sources, the book charts a hybrid modern development that stands in contrast to the positivist conception of modern progress. As such it will be a provocative read for scholars of Chinese cultural and architectural history.
