講座摘要:

This presentation is part of a larger project on the rhythms of urban life in the southern Chinese port city of Guangzhou (Canton) during the nineteenth century. Analyzing wet-season disasters (flooding and storms), in contrast to dry-season disasters (fires), I hope to convey a sense of the lived experience of city residents and to understand both how life was changing over the course of this transformative century and how observers perceived these changes.
