Constructing a Cosmopolitan city of Shanghai

上海是一个以"开放"为特点的城市[1]。19世纪末20世纪初,西方殖民者曾在上海开埠地建立了世界闻名的国际大都市。近代上海曾容纳了多达15万的来自于58个国家的外国人,呈现出"治外法权的世界主义"。近二十年来,在改革开放的背景下,上海重新崛起,并致力于建设"社会主义国际大都市"。笔者分析了"国际大都市"称谓的来源及其"世界主义"内涵,并分析了当前上海文化建设所具有的"世界主义"诉求,它是以开放为背景,以"国际化"为叙事的。海派文化及"海纳百川"城市精神正是上海"世界主义"文化构建的产品。

Shanghai was known as a cosmopolitan city in the 30＇s of last century, which had accommodated more than 150,000 foreigners with up to 58 nationalities. It was known as ＂extraterritorial cosmopolitanism＂. In the recent 20 years, Shanghai has re-emerged in the world as a result of ＂Opening up＂ policy of China. Currently Shanghai is aiming at building a new-era cosmopolitan city, with the narrative of building a ＂Guoji Dudushi＂, which literally means ＂Socialist Internationalized metropolitan city＂. This paper analyzes the narrative of ＂guoji dadushi＂ and its related cultural practices in Shanghai, and points out Shanghai＇ s pursue in building a cosmopolitan city, while the ＂cosmopolitanism＂ of Shanghai is sought after but different from before. The construction of ＂Haipai＂ culture and the city spirit of ＂Hal Na Bai Chuan＂ are exactly the production of cosmopolitan culture of Shanghai.
