西方绅士化研究进展

A REVIEW ON GENTRIFICATION STUDIES IN WESTERN COUNTRIES

从绅士化概念的提出与发展入手,回顾了西方绅士化现象的阶段特征与趋势、西方绅士化研究的四个重要阶段,从绅士化的类型衍化、绅士化概念工具的再发展、绅士化效应与抵抗、新自由城市主义与绅士化、尺度转向与星球绅士化等方面分析当代西方绅士化研究的新特点。在展望西方绅士化实证研究、理论建构、后效应对与研究方法的基础上,认为中国绅士化的研究应当重点关注本体论与认识论、前置条件、结构动力与制度条件的独特性。

This paper reviews the origination and mutation of the term "gentrification",the stage models and trend of gentrification in Western countries,and four key periods of Western studies on gentrification.It analyzes the recent progress of gentrification studies from five research fields:new types of gentrification,redevelopment of conceptual tools,socio-spatial consequences and their resistance,relationship between neoliberal urbanism and gentrification,and scale shift and planetary gentrification.Based on a discussion on the possible future agenda for gentrification in Western countries that includes four directions:empirical research,theoretical construction,consequences,and analysis methods,the paper concludes that studies on gentrification in China should focus on its very typical ontologies and epistemologies,preconditions,structural dynamics,and unique institutional conditions.
