Republican Beijing: The City and Its Histories
Old Beijing has become a subject of growing fascination in contemporary China since the 1980s. While physical remnants from the past are being bulldozed every day to make space for glass-walled skyscrapers and towering apartment buildings, nostalgia for the old city is booming. Madeleine Yue Dong offers the first comprehensive history of Republican Beijing, examining how the capital acquired its identity as a consummately "traditional" Chinese ci…
Chapter 8. Defining Beiping Urban Reconstruction and National Identity, 1928–1936
Remaking the Chinese City: Modernity and National Identity, 1900-1950
In China today skyscrapers tower over ancient temples, freeways deliver lines of cars and tour buses to imperial palaces, cinema houses compete with old theaters featuring Peking Opera. The disparity evidenced in the contemporary Chinese cityscape can be traced to the early decades of the twentieth century, when government elites sought to transform cities into a new world that would be at once modern and distinctly Chinese. Remaking the Chinese …
Everyday Modernity in China
Is modernity in non-Western societies always an “alternative” modernity, a derivative copy of an “original modernity” that began in the West? No, answer the contributors to this book, who then offer an absorbing set of case studies from modern China to make their point. By focusing on people’s ordinary routines of working, eating, going to school, and traveling, the authors examine the notion of modernity as it has been staged in the minute detai…

Who Is Afraid of the Chinese Modern Girl
The Modern Girl around the World: A Research Agenda and Preliminary Findings
Our research collaboration examines how the Modern Girl emerged as a global phenomenon in the first half of the twentieth century. By wearing provocative fashions and pursuing romantic love, Modern Girls everywhere appeared to disregard the roles of dutiful daughter, wife and mother. We develop the Modern Girl as a heuristic category that allows new insights into forces of globalisation and manifestations of gendered modernity. Through a case stu…

Juggling Bits: Tianqiao as Republican Beijing’s Recycling Center
Guang (wandering around Tianqiao) was one of the most exciting activities for many of Beijing's residents during the 1920s and 1930s. Some travel guides published in those years listed under tourist attractions along with ancient pagodas, imperial palaces, and newly opened parks. One guidebook insisted that will be one's greatest regret if one comes to Beijing from afar but does not have a glance at (Tian Yunjin, 1935: 7). But was also distinguis…

Communities and Communication: A Study of the Case of Yang Naiwu, 1873-1877
COMMUNITIES AND COMMUNICATION: A STUDY OF THE CASE OF YANG NAIWU, 1873-1877* Madeleine Yue Dong November 28, 1873, appeared to be an uneventful day in the crisis-laden late Qing. In Beijing, the Tongzhi Emperor received his routine memorials: reports on small-scale banditry on the Guangdong-Guangxi boarder, fireprevention strategies for the imperial resort, and the like.1 In Shanghai, the newspaper Shenbao published its regular eight-page edition…
