Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - The re-emergence of China as a world power promises to be the signal economic, political, cultural, and social development of the 21st century. In the face of its rise, fine grained accounts of the shape and texture of this new China are both timely and necessary. Navigating the Aspirational City forwards a theory of contemporary Chinese urban educational culture that focusses on the influence of dominant conceptions of 'the good citizen' and the material environment upon parents as they pursue their childrearing projects. The book provides a description of the beliefs and practices of urban Chinese parents as they 'educate' their children. These beliefs and practices are placed in relation to a historical chain of ideas about how to best educate children, as well as within the urban context in which they are produced and reproduced, renovated, and transformed. Beginning with a history of revolutionary 'orders of worth' culminating in the 'aspirational cité,' the book details the shifting standards that define the 'human capital' conditions of possibility of a developed modern economy. It goes on to describe a set of policies and practices known as san nian da bianyang by which the whole of one particular city, Shijiazhuang, has been demolished, re-built, and re-ordered. Contemporary China is, the author contends, no less revolutionary than Mao's, noting that parents' beliefs and practices articulate with the present ideational and material context to produce what appears, at times, to be radical transformation and, at others, remarkable stability.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - China has long been an object of curiousity for Western observers, a fascination that has only grown with the ascent of Deng Xiaoping and the subsequent arrival of China as a top economic power. Based on field research conducted in 2005-6, this book represents an unconventional contribution to our understanding of the social processes that continue to transform that country. It will be of interest of those curious about these transformations as they have played out in the mainland Chinese education system in the post-Mao reform era. Unlike most commentaries on Chinese education, this book is primarily concerned with processes of change from the perspective of Chinese teachers. It aggressively challenges common-sense western understandings of Chinese teachers and learners, holding that Chinese schools, and Chinese society in general, are social spaces that are far more contested than is generally believed. At the same time, it avoids the simplistic conclusion that widespread opposition to reform is evidence of the impending arrival of democracy in any conventional manifestation.…
