中国近代城市生活史研究热点与缺陷

Hotspots and Defects of Modern Urban Life History Research in China

中国近代城市生活史研究经过20多年发展,已经成为一个成果突出、具有鲜明特色并达到较高理论高度的分支领域,但也存在一些缺陷:对城市生活近代化"高点低面"的极度不平衡状况关注度不够,缺乏对各城市生活变迁不同类型的相互比较、相互联系研究,缺乏对中西生活元素交汇融合的机制特别是传统生活元素的演变与作用的研究,缺乏对各种生活元素在生活变迁及社会整体变迁中的地位与影响的研究。"公共性"理论范式的应用提升了城市生活史研究的理论高度,但也存在一些缺陷,如应用比较隔膜、生硬,与实际生活状况及中国人的生活感受和观念契合度不高。

After the development of more than 20 years,modern urban life history research in China has become a branch area that reached a higher theoretical level.Meanwhile,it also has some defects as follows：lack of attention to the extreme imbalance in the modernization of urban life;lack of research on the comparison and connection between different types of changes in urban life,on the fusion of living elements between Chinese and western and on the status and influence that life elements make on life and social changes.The application of＂public＂theoretical paradigm enhances the theoretical level of urban life history,but there are some flaws as well,such as its application is rather inflexible and blunt,and there is a big difference between actual living conditions and Chinese life experience and ideas.
