随着人类社会进入“城市时代”，对城市和城市化进程的性质的质疑变得更加迫切。为了推进这一努力，本文认为，政治经济和日常城市化的方法之间根深蒂固的认识论距离必须得到解决和弥合。它阐述了一种理论方法，探讨了政治经济变化是如何塑造和轮廓周围的城市生活方式，身份和城市现象的情感和关系。最重要的是，它感兴趣的是城市化如何作为一种组织逻辑，让人们设想和建立日常项目，意义和身份。本文通过对阎连科的小说《扎烈纪事》的阅读来说明这些论点。在神话现实主义的流派中，严提供了重要的切入点，以理论化城市政治经济的共同生产，共同进化和相互构成，以及日常和地方规模的社会，文化和政治变化。我们的分析是通过两个分析寄存器：城市的欲望机器和权力的概念，是关系，表演和互动。
As human society enters an ‘urban age’, the need to interrogate the nature of cities and urbanization processes has become more imperative. To advance this endeavour, this article suggests that the entrenched epistemological distance between the political economy and everyday urbanism approaches must be addressed and bridged. It furnishes a theoretical approach which examines how political economic changes are shaped and contoured by sensibilities and relations around urban lifestyles, identities and the phenomenology of being urban. Above all, it is interested in how urbanization acts as an organizing logic for people to envision and build everyday projects, meanings and identities. This article illustrates these arguments by developing a reading ofThe Chronicle of Zhalie, a novel that is also a saga of urbanization, authored by the Chinese writer Yan Lianke. Working within the genre of mythical realism, Yan provides important points of entry into theorizing the co‐production, co‐evolution and mutual constitution of urban political economy and the social, cultural and political changes at the scale of the everyday and the local. Our analysis is conducted by way of two analytical registers: the urban desiring machine and a conception of power that is relational, performative and interactive.
