摘要
文章从天安门广场的黎明开始,以北京的建筑环境为依据,描述一个中国的政治宇宙。建筑环境的诊断价值,表现在它能够引导我们航行于政治宇宙的历史变迁和由此引起的这个城市的建造和再建造的过程之中。从古代王朝的"气韵",到中轴线的颠覆和一个社会主义政治宇宙的建造,再到今天表现经济奇迹的幻象般的展现,建筑环境成为政治研究的考古挖掘基地,提示了一种民俗的、日常的观察政治的方法。该文以作者所著《北京时间》(哈佛大学出版社,2008;合作者H.S.Lo和D.D.WU)的第一章改写而成。
Beginning in Tian＇anmen Square at dawn,this paper traces the political cosmologies of China through the built environment of Beijing.The diagnostic value of the built environment is revealed in its ability to help us navigate through the history of various political cosmologies that have informed the building and rebuilding of this city.From dynastic times when Celestial power was driven by the flow of‘qi＇through the‘toppling＇of the city axis and the imposition of another socialist cosmology and then onto the phantasmagoric showpieces of the economic miracle,the built environment becomes an archeological site of politics,revealing a way of seeing politics that is ethnographic and concerned with the everyday.The essay is an edited version of chapter one of author＇s book Beijing Time（Harvard University Press, 2008;coauthored with HS Lo and DD Wu）.
