Paris in the Orient
In this article, we rely on a census of French residents in 1942 to conduct a quantitative micro-history of the French community in the wake of the Japanese invasion of Shanghai. On the basis of this snapshot, we examine this group from the perspective of long-term demography combined with a spatial approach drawing on the geospatial resources built over a decade in Shanghai. We argue that the system of power in the French Concession shaped the s…
The Population of Shanghai (1865-1953)
The present volume is the first systematic reconstruction of the demographic series of the population of Shanghai from the mid-nineteenth century to 1953. Designed as a reference and source book, it is based on a thorough exploration of all population data and surveys available in published documents and in archival sources. The book focuses mostly on the pre-1949 period and extends to the post-1949 period only in relation to specific topics. Sha…
West Indian intellectuals in Britain
Established in the belief that imperialism as a cultural phenomenon had as significant an effect on the dominant as on the subordinate societies, Studies in Imperialism seeks to develop the new socio-cultural approach which has emerged through cross-disciplinary work on popular culture, media studies, art history, the study of education and religion, sports history and children's literature.The cultural emphasis embraces studies of migration and …
'Little Japan' in Shanghai
Historians of imperialism have paid little attention to the Japanese experience. This chapter outlines the nature of the Japanese community in Shanghai and its major characteristics. It examines its major organisations and how they shaped a community life. The chapter explores the major activities and challenges of the Japanese residents. Shanghai's reputation as a city of opportunities must have circulated broadly in Japan and the city served as…
Shanghai Industries in the Civil War (1945-1947)
This article examines the fate of Shanghai industries during the Civil War period in China. It argues that in spite of extreme difficulties in the later part of the war, Shanghai industries bounced back very quickly and reached early wartime levels within a year. Thereafter, a series of economic and political restrictions led to a slowdown, then a paralysis. The article is based on a large and unique survey of Shanghai industries published in Oct…

The Socialist Transformation of Funeral Companies in Shanghai (1949–1957)
The takeover of the city by the People’s Liberation Army in May 1949 marked the beginning of a process of transformation of all commercial and industrial companies in Shanghai. The funeral business companies represented a small sector, yet one that had great significance in everyday life. The ccp sought to control the private funeral companies almost as soon as it took over the city. The new authorities envisioned a radical transformation of the …
The Great Spoliation
Visualising China, 1845-1965
How does China project its image in the world? Why and how has the world come to form certain impressions of the Chinese and their way of life? These are issues that preoccupy Chinese citizens in the globalizing 21st century as they travel overseas, riding on the capacity of the country’s newly acquired economic power. In Visualizing China, the authors join forces to launch a broader inquiry aimed at a synergistic understanding of the larger stor…

Beyond Glory
The 1932 Sino-Japanese conflict in Shanghai was the first example of a modern war waged in a large city between two heavily equipped armies. It was also the first urban conflict during which massive destruction, especially aerial bombing, ensued with utmost disregard for the consequences to civilians. This paper looks at the damage and losses the two contending armies suffered. The group of Chinese armies involved in the conflict was not prepared…

The Shanghai Bund in myth and history
The Bund ranks first in any introduction to Shanghai in contemporary guides as a “must see” place where one can go to discover the wonders of Shanghai and its now sanitized and non-controversial past. Current accounts usually point to the bizarre architectural heritage that the municipal government has lately chosen to turn into a tourist attraction for domestic and foreign consumption alike. The present paper intends to unveil a much more comple…
A Neighbourhood under Storm Zhabei and Shanghai Wars
War was a major aspect of Shanghai history in the first half of the twentieth century. Yet, because of the particular political and territorial divisions that segmented the city, war struck only in Chinese-administered areas. In this paper, I examine the fate of the Zhabei district, a booming industrious area that came under fire on three successive occasions. Whereas Zhabei could be construed as a success story—a rag-to-riches, swamp-to-urbanity…
Invisible Deaths, Silent Deaths
This paper is a study of death in Republican Shanghai with a focus on the issue of exposed corpses and abandoned coffins. Throughout the republican period and into the early years of the PRC, exposed corpses were collected daily in the streets of the city. A huge proportion of them were children. Shanghai was like a gigantic funnel that swallowed up lives by the hundreds or thousands every year, even in times of peace. The first part of the paper…

Shanghai and the Experience of War
In 1937, bitter and brutal fighting raged for three months in and around the city, with intense bombardment from ships and planes. Within weeks, hundred of thousands of residents were thrown on to the streets and made homeless. This paper is concerned with the massive and sudden transformation of Shanghai residents into refugees and the consequences on the resources and management of the city. In the first part, I argue that 1937 created an entir…
Prostitution et Vox literati à Shangaï avant la Première Guerre mondiale
Cet article examine les formes du discours des lettrés chinois sur la prostitution de la fin du XIXe siècle à la Première Guerre mondiale. Il met en lumière le caractère ambivalent de ce discours qui, centré sur les courtisanes - la strate supérieure du monde de la prostitution - constitue une forme d'apologie ou de vision positive de la prostitution. Cette vision a pour partie imprégné la représentation collective de la prostitution en Chine. To…
Les divisions de la ville
Les villes sont divisées, partout et depuis longtemps, en fractions distinctes et contrastées. Mais c’est rarement de la même façon que les découpent et en nomment les parties ceux qui y vivent, ceux qui les administrent et ceux qui les étudient. Ces mots ne désignent pas des choses qui seraient déjà là : ils contribuent à la division même de l’espace et à sa qualification. C’est par eux que des locuteurs – qui sont aussi des acteurs sociaux - dé…

In the shadow of the rising sun
Rejecting conventional demands, this book examines how ordinary men and women, Chinese as well as foreign, endured the Japanese military assault and occupation of Shanghai during the Chinese War of Resistance (1937-1945). Instead of presenting their stories in terms of heroic resistance versus shameful collaboration with the enemy, the volume reveals how the city's dwellers mobilized a variety of social networks to circumvent enemy strictures. Th…

Courtship, sex and money
This article offers a study of the economics of the houses of courtesans in nineteenth- and twentieth-century Shanghai. This approach not only highlights the complex financial arrangements to be found in these establishments, but also sheds some light on the nature of the relationship between the women and their customers. The houses of courtesans played a central role in the social life of the members of the male urban élites. While they drew th…

Essai de prosopographie des élites shanghaïennes à l'époque républicaine, 1911-1949
Depuis 1949, l'histoire de la Chine moderne et contemporaine a connu en Occident un essor rapide mais assez déséquilibré. Les chercheurs ont exploré le déclin du régime impérial de préférence aux complexités de la Chine républicaine. Ils ont privilégié l'histoire des relations internationales et celle des institutions et des idéologies, subordonnant à ces orientations majeures l'étude du développement économique. Quant à l'analyse de la société, …

Shanghai 1927-1937
“La Fermeture”
The liberation of women has been one of the priorities of the Chinese Communist Party since its foundation, with its sources in the evolution of ideas and the struggles that developed in urban China after the May Fourth movement. The Party, however, has put this ideal into practice only when it did not contradict the imperatives of revolution. The same holds true for prostitution: in 1949 the Party was eager to eliminate the most obvious forms of…

Jack Goody, L'Orient en Occident
L’ouvrage de Jack Goody s’inscrit dans une veine récente de l’historiographie anglo-saxonne qui, à partir d’une synthèse des travaux historiques récents sur l’Asie et à travers une démarche comparatiste, remet radicalement en cause la perspective « euro-péocentrique » de l’histoire du monde, de l’Europe et des autres civilisations. Celle du moins qui prévaut depuis deux siècles. Cette réflexion révisionniste a émergé aux États-Unis, où le milieu …
