"Locating China" explores the political economy of place, space and
popular culture in contemporary China. This multidisciplinary
volume examines the mutual articulations between cultural imaginary
and China's continuing drive toward urbanization. The consequences
of this relationship are shown to be the development of new space
and places, and new forms of spatial practices, thus weakening old
concepts of the "local" and "locality."
The international group of scholars incorporate theoretical
inquiries of space with grounded empirical work on multiple locals
throughout China. From village discotheques in Guizhou to tourist
villas, tea houses in Hainan to architectural extravaganzas in
Shanshen the contributors argue that local places and local
cultural practices are not constrained with the local scale. This
therefore raises the question - how does the meaning transfer
between the local, the national and the global?
