Historical memory and cultural identity of Shanghai city: A case study of Shanghai before 1949

Abstract

尝试通过口述史记录、回忆录和个人传记等不同资料,探讨 20 世纪三四十年代移居香港和台湾地区的上海人如何掌握上海城市生活的记忆和自我认同。此外,作为外来移居者,他们对非本地人和社会的观感如何,本地居民又如何看待他们? 这种由各种生活体验和相关人、事、物记忆所交叉组成的“上海时代”回忆,成为他们对“上海认同”的一个重要依据,最后是否可以转化为今日上海历史的一个组成部分? Based on such materials as records of oral history,memoirs,biographies, and so on, the paper explores how Shanghainese who immigrated to Hong Kong and Taiwan in 1930s and 1940s acquired historical memory and cultural identity of Shanghai city.Furthermore,as immigrants,what feelings did they have about non-local residents and the local society and how the local residents treated them? The memories of 'Shanghai age' are composed of various life experiences and memory of relevant persons,events and objects,which become one important basis of their 'identity of Shanghai'. Are they eventually transformed into the important parts of Shanghai history of today? The paper focuses on the discussion of the above issues.published_or_final_versio
