近代上海城市“权力的文化网络”中的文化精英(1900—1937年)

Cultural Elites and the Culture Nexus of Power: The Shanghai Urban Society in Modern China(1900—1937)

从1900年到1937年,上海的文化精英联合资产阶级,在近代中国风云变幻的大时代中,建构起一个城市的"权力的文化网络"。在近代城市精英之中,核心已经让位于资产阶级,但因为资产阶级缺乏社会的文化权威,因此在近代城市社会之中依然离不开城市的文化精英。近代上海的文化精英与资产阶级的战略同盟,不仅坚守着城市的地方自主性,而且以市民社会为后盾,积极地过问国家公共事务,试图影响和改变中央政府的国策。

From 1900 to 1937,joined with the bourgeois,the cultural elites in Shanghai weaved an urban ＂culture nexus of power＂ in such an age of transformation.Although the rising Chinese bourgeois played an important role in modern cities,their social and cultural power was limited to gain a respectable role in the ＂culture nexus of power.＂ Chinese bourgeois must rely on the cultural elites to give them power.The strategic alliance of intellectuals and bourgeois not only maintained the autonomy of modern Shanghai,but also took an active part in the domestic affairs and tried to influence the national policy from the central government.
