LSE-PKU Summer School Beijing, 8-19 August 2016 【课程介绍】 LPS-GY201: Speculative Urbanisation in Asia 转型中的中国和其他亚洲国家城市已经成为社会科学研究的热门领域，相关研究正日益深入，并从早期的现象描述逐渐演进到对内在机理的探索。本课程立足于相关学术讨论，力图把中国和其他亚洲国家的城市变迁放置到投机性的空间生产这一脉络里进行批判性地审视。一方面，课程将深度运用相关文献，从后社会主义城市转型、城市空间生产的政治经济机制、大型赛会的尺度政治、绅士化和遗产保护中的权力关系、进入城市的权利等角度剖析当前亚洲城市日益突出的问题与挑战；另一方面，课程将在大量案例分析的基础上构造若干比较的范畴，在中国与其他亚洲国家、东亚与“西方”等维度上反思比较城市主义的研究视角，强调运用西方理论所需的语境关切，以及借助亚洲经验改造相关理论的可能路径。 假如你想弄明白…… 大量的鬼城和空置楼盘何以出现 房地产投机如何在最近/一线城市愈演愈烈 北京的南锣鼓巷和新加坡的 Little India 的变迁有何异同 东亚四小龙的住房政策如何彼此迥异（植根于各自的政治经济基础） 如何把中国的城市问题与东亚、亚洲和全球议题加以勾连 “绅士化”问题的最新理论进展 作为方法的比较城市主义如何加以实践…… 那么本课程将能提供足够多、足够深入的理论和案例信息，并将有气氛热烈的研讨班 (seminar; 80 min/day) 作为增进讨论的有效平台。 详情请戳： http://www.lse.ac.uk/study/summerSchools/LSEPKUProgramme/courses/gy201.aspx About the summer school: LSE and Peking University have collaboratively run the LSE-PKU Summer School in Beijing every summer since 2004.…
