Cuhural transformation is central to class formation. By eul- ture, which in this paper is related to ＂worker＇s cultural palace＂, a particular materialized cultural space for urban working-class being built across the Mao era, we understand the distinctive ways of expressing, articulating, and re- producing everyday life that are essential to the class identity and class con- sciousness of China＇s working-class. This paper analyzes worker＇s cultural pal- aces built in the 20th Century, with transformative history from Maoist to examinations of the physical space, the Reform and opening up era, and the workers cultural practices therein. Empirical data are gathered through re-peated site visits, interviews with palace staffs, participant observation in workers＇ cuhural group activities, and documentary. Theoretically, this paper tries to develop a more refined storical-comparative framework, which offers a revision for the theoretical articulation among cultural space, socialistic in- dustrialization, and class formation in China.
