講題 Subject：Gentrification from Within: An Anthropological Reflection on Socio-Spatial Change Process in Urban China
講者 Speaker：Non Arkaraprasertkul
（Visiting Professor, Institute of the Middle and Far East of the Jageillonian University）
時間 Time：2018.03.29 週四（THU）14:00 - 16:00
地點 Location：清華大學人文社會學院 C306
(NTHU,college of Humanities &social sciences, roomC306)
＊演講摘要 Descriptions：
Based on a long term ethnographic research in a traditional Shanghainese urban alleyway-house neighborhood (known locally as lilong), the anthropologist Non Arkaraprasertkul describes how knowledge of the global hierarchy of value encourages pragmatic local residents to foresee a different future and voluntarily get involved in the process of urban renewal to enhance their own socioeconomic interests. Expanding the perspective on existing notions of gentrification, Non develops the concept of “gentrification from within” to explain this unique process of social and demographic change to which the processes of capital investment and cultural reproduction are central. Unlike conventional gentrification, the original (often retired) working-class residents themselves are the key actors in the diversification of the traditional neighborhood. The incoming middle-class residents, who are the usually responsible for gentrification, are passive recipients of housing as commodities whereby the original residents take control of their situation through making their houses suited to middle-class taste.
