This study targets “Shanghai-Pudong” plan and aims to explore the position, meaning and significance. Through this writing strategy, the study also places “Shanghai-Pudong” Plan in three sub-regions of “political and economic analysis of city development”, “colonial and post-colonial city study” and “cultural research of urbanity and landscape of city” for further analysis. Moreover, based on three core theoretical conceptions of “post-colonial nationalism”, “post-colonial modernness” and “mixed modernness”, the result of this trans-regional writing plan will construct a theoretical vision of Shanghai City studies ranging from political economics to cultural research.
The study cites the conception introduced by Castells on China evolving from revolutionary country to developmental country and places Chinese “nationalism” pointed out by him in the skeleton of revival of Orientalism caused by the participation of Asian society in the process of socialism and observe it. With analysis of the strategy of resistance of “Oriental people’s Orientalism” which has a long history and is unique in China or socialist China, we re-explain the development, dilemma and transformation of strategy used by Chinese against colonialism for more than one hundred years. It also points out that Chinese “reform and open” policy is in fact that the country opens an space of so-called “vague” relations by Homi Bhabha with the construction and annotation of “Westernism”, and thus discriminates Chinese “developmental country” from the model used by East Asia countries and re-establishes Chinese “post-colonial nationalism”, which usually suppresses dissidence in home and contends for hegemony overseas, constructed by Chinese unique “post-Orientalism” / confrontation discourse of post-colonialism.
The research furthers to re-exam and annotate the changes of Chinese “reform and open” policy from 1980s to 1990s with the Chinese implementation of “hybridization/miscegenation” and conception of post-colonial development: from the Greater China plan/discourse and global areas in 1980s to “Shanghai-Pudong” plan/discourse and structure of “China/Orient” in 1990s, concluding with the strategic meaning of post-colonial development implicated in Chinese reform and open policy.
From the view of Chinese strategic globalization as a post-colonial country, “Shanghai-Pudong” plan can be re-understood as an agenda of space plan. That is, from “Shenzen-Guandong” to “Shanghai-Pudong”, all projects were re-directed to globalism. The research also observes, compares and positions the role, location and function of “Shanghai-Pudong” plan and presents a totally different theoretical model from the first global city researcher’s model for globalization and global cities by re-defining and re-annotating Shanghai city which is on the way “toward globalization” and “having been globalized” under strategic globalism of a post-colonial country.
The research also observes, from angles of histories of Shanghai city and Chinese modernness, the enlightenment and changes brought by “Shanghai-Pudong” plan to the development of this subject by “Chinese modernness”. Furthermore, it presents conception of “post-colonial modernness” to show how Chinese central and local governments skillfully take advantage of various plans and technology of construction to construct “Shanghai-Pudong”, but it in turn implements post-colonial strategy and transform the historical experiences of colonial modernness into the technology of space in the cultural form of post-colonial modernness.
Finally, the thesis places “Shanghai-Pudong” plan under the angle of colonial and post-colonial city studies to analyze step by step the complicated and different symbols and significance of space in the cultural form of current “Shanghai-Pudong” City. It also presents the conception of “mixed modernness” for predicting that the effect and significance the 2010 World Fairs in Shanghai will be, among others, the revival of “Shanghai Culture”.
