Culture Unbound: Journal of Current Cultural Research, Vol 4: Shanghai Modern: The Future in Microcosm? (2012)

Culture Unbound: Journal of Current Cultural Research is a journal for border-crossing cultural research, globally open to articles from all areas in this large field, including cultural studies as well as other interdisciplinary and transnational currents for exploring cultural perspectives, issues and phenomena. It is peer-reviewed and easily accessible for downloading as open access.

This issue of the journal gathers articles that represent a range of different reflections on Shanghai past and present. The global city of Shanghai is taken as a starting point to explore issues of urban space, modernity, and the Chinese transition in the twentieth and twenty-first century. And it also allows
for contributions that challenge the traditional forms of academic representation to explore the modern city in a more essayistic manner.
