Modernity with Chinese characteristics: Urban image construction in fin-de-siecle Beijing.
Broudehoux, Anne-Marie.

Modernity with Chinese characteristics: Urban image construction in fin-de-siecle Beijing. - 362 p.

Chair: Nezar AlSayyad.

Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of California, Berkeley, 2002.

This dissertation examines the recent transformation of the social and material landscapes of Beijing as a medium through which to understand the making of Chinese modernity and the reshaping of modern Chinese identity in the midst of China's transition to capitalism. Through a study of recent image construction projects and city marketing endeavors, this research investigates how state aspirations, market appetites, global expectations, and popular ambitions are articulated in the creation of a world image of Beijing as both a place—lived and experienced on a daily basis—and as a political entity—a space of control and coercion but also of dissidence and contestation. It demonstrates how this battle over the meaning and interpretation of urban space has given rise to important debates about rights to the city and the constitution of citizenship in contemporary China, therefore leading the way for the development of an embryonic civil society. Using both policy analysis and ethnographic method, this research seeks to understand the complex and often antagonistic relationship between space, power, and social justice in a society increasingly dominated by free-market ideology, and thus explores the way urban image construction has been negotiated locally—either manipulated for economic and ideological purposes or contested and reworked by those it excluded.
