现代建筑的图像传播与中国想象——以近代上海的大众媒体为例

Modern Architecture: Image and Imagination in the Mass Media of Early Modern Shanghai

阐释20世纪初,在西方现代建筑被引介到中国的过程中,大众媒体的推动作用不容忽视,其中以印刷出版物的图像传播最为突出;选取一部分近代上海大众媒体和出版物中的案例,通过对不同类型相关图像的阅读,尝试考察这些图像的形式特征与意义内涵,以及图像呈现的对于现代建筑及其生活方式的认知与想象,同时也以此强调推动一种更加开放的中国近现代建筑史研究的意义,并表达了建构历史多种叙述的途径。

In the early 20th century, the images in the emerging mass media in early modern Shanghai began to play an important role in introducing western modern architecture to China. With a few representatives found in some related commercial publications and magazines of that time, the paper offers an observation on how modern architecture represented and spread through the printed images and helped form the early idea and imagination of the modern life for Chinese people. it also expects that historical research on modern Chinese architecture can be developed with a wider vision to enrich and complicate the understandings of modern Chinese architectural history with diverse historical narratives.
