- Double-weighted statement
- This monograph is based on extensive field and textual research, conducted between 2010 and 2015, including nearly a year of participant observation, 30+ formal interviews, and the collection of around 700 newspaper articles (from 1980s to ethnographic present) and other local texts (gazetteers, almanacs etc.). Its arguments draw upon a large, complex body of secondary literature, including the spatial theories of Henri Lefebvre as well as urban studies, Chinese studies, anthropology, ethnomusicology, sound studies, and tourism studies. These arguments also break new ground, making suggestions for the modification of Lefebvrian theory in the light of contemporary Chinese urban realities.
