AbstractThis article seeks to clarify the circumstances in the process of formation of the first new Chinatown in Japan situated in Ikebukuro, Tokyo, comparing it with the Three Big Chinatowns of Yokohama, Kobe and Nagasaki known as old Chinatowns. For this purpose, the increase in the number of Chinese newcomers in Japan is examined first. This is followed by an analysis of the development of ethnic businesses run by the Chinese newcomers and their relationship with the local Japanese community i.e. the host society. Ikebukuro Chinatown serves as a test case for problems relating to the presence of foreign residents in Japan and the extent to which they can be overcome.

Since the late 1990s, the symbolic economy was coined to describe the economy based on cultural production and consumption. Chinatowns are a typical representation of this new consumption-based economy in which symbols play an important role. The existence of a Chinatown has helped metropolises to label themselves as global and diverse cities but Chinatowns do not always meet the gazers’ expectations on its cultural and aesthetic features. Moreover, they rework the concept of Chineseness to achieve the goal of city officials’ ideas of an ‘ideal’ Chinatown. This article deconstructs the intangible and ambiguous aspects around the concept of Chineseness through a geosemiotic lens. By analysing the linguistic landscape and paying additional attention to socio-spatial interactions around signs, this research makes a contribution to the field of Chinatown studies. Moreover, as a comparative empirical study of the Chinatowns of Amsterdam and The Hague, it also contributes to insights into multilingual Chinatowns in a field that is dominated by Chinese and English only. This helps to reveal the functioning and hierarchy of languages and the additional complexity of multiculturalism.

AbstractMuch has been written about Chinatowns in North America as a self-sustained community with fairly complete social institutions. Chinatowns emerged under an era of racism and discrimination and offered some degrees of protection and opportunity to the Chinese. Historically, Vancouver’s Chinatown suffered from a public image of an unhygienic and immoral neighborhood where Chinese resided and where Chinese shops and businesses congregated. This image began to change in the 1930s as the Chinese reshaped Chinatown to suit the racial ideology of a culturally exotic neighborhood that offered Oriental cuisine and festivities to Canadians. As more Chinese immigrated to Canada after World War II, a new Chinese middle class began to emerge. Although Vancouver Chinatown continued to grow and to retain the image of a tourist attraction, it has ceased to be the choice residential and business location for the Chinese. In contrast, Richmond south of Vancouver has developed into a vibrant and affluent business and residential enclave for middle-class Chinese. This article argues that the emergence and decline of Vancouver’s Chinatown have been shaped by the nature of race formation in society as well as the internal composition and social organization of the Chinese community.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Previous research on the Linguistic Landscapes of Chinatowns has highlighted the perceptions and experiences of long-term residents (Lou, 2009, 2016; Amos, 2016). To explore Chinatown in the eyes of newly arrived migrants, this paper presents a study of the Linguistic Landscape of the Triangle de Choisy, the Chinatown in Paris. Drawing upon Scollon and Scollon’s geosemiotic framework (2003) and Augé’s place theory (1995), it analyzes 130 photographs of the field and four interviews with newly arrived Chinese migrants. It is found that the Linguistic Landscape of the Chinatown constructs a coherent semiotic aggregate for the newcomers as an identifiable, relational, and historical transnational space that helps to orient them in a new country. Thus, this study illustrates how the Linguistic Landscape of Chinatown could serve as structured and structuring discursive frame (Coupland & Garrett, 2010) in the lives of new migrants.

AbstractSince the early 1980s, immigrants from Fuzhou, southeast China, have revitalized and expanded New York’s Chinatown in Manhattan and established satellite Chinese communities in Brooklyn and Queens. Fuzhounese entrepreneurs have transformed the ethnic enclave economy of Chinatown into the staging platform for a dynamic national ethnic restaurant economy in which East Broadway in Lower Manhattan has become the central hub for the circulation of capital, labor, goods and know-how. Despite recent revitalization, Chinatown’s future as a gateway for new labor immigrants is threatened by real estate speculation and gentrification in the Manhattan and Brooklyn Chinatown areas.

The Semarang Chinatown is one of the Chinatowns that shows the strength of the cultural economy, diversity and multiculturalism. Economic and socio-cultural activities that form the background of spatial formations influence the development of the area both physically and non-physically, especially the exploitation of the area for recreation and tourism purposes. The result is a decrease in the physical condition of the area, both buildings and the environment. This is of course not in line with the local government's policy of establishing the Semarang Chinatown as a Historical District based on Mayor Decree No. 645/50/1992. The character of the Semarang Chinatown is the result of a cross-cultural mix of immigrants at the beginning of the formation of ethnic villages in Semarang and developed over time. The existence of cultural diversity and multiculturalism of the immigrants resulted in an architectural blend that colored the architectural formations.The focus of this research is to discuss an architectural formation in the Semarang Chinatown which has a correlation with the acculturation process. The aim of the research is to explore in depth an architectural formation of the Semarang Chinatown which is influenced by a process of acculturation of culture and reveal the background of the cultural system in the form of ideas, ideas, values, norms, regulations, and so on that influence the architectural formation of the Semarang Chinatown. This study uses a naturalistic qualitative research paradigm with a grounded theory approach and inductive qualitative methods. In this research data is grouped into four: interviews, observations, documents, audio-visual materials. The result is giving directions for Preservation of the Environment and Historic Buildings in Semarang Chinatown.

Full textAbstract:
During the 1880s San Francisco bohemians began to portray Chinatown as a place in which the forces of marginalization allowed a premodern authenticity to fl ourish. Their depictions of Chinatown resonated with a growing number of tourists. Historians have examined these developments, but few have considered the ways in which touristic interest in "authentic Chinatown" created new opportunities for entrepreneurial activity and social action. As this article argues, white and Chinese San Franciscans seized these opportunities. By the 1890s white tour guides had begun to stage scenes of depravity and present them as "authentic." Some Chinese San Franciscans performed within these scenes; others responded to tourists with practiced indifference, contempt, or hostility. A loose coalition of Chinatown merchants pursued a third strategy. They sought to rechannel touristic interest by locating Chinatown's authenticity within its exotic architecture, theatrical performances, curios, and cuisine. In doing so, they affi rmed perceptions of Chinese American "otherness."

This article examines the landscape changes of San Francisco's Chinatown resulting from urban redevelopment after World War II. It describes the contested process of community development and documents the intricacies of Chinatown's spatial struggles. Socially constructed as a space of “otherness,” San Francisco's Chinatown illustrates the ways in which urban redevelopment process interacted with the social and cultural tensions of a plural and liberal urban society. It also reveals how the existing categories of ethnicity and cultural identity have been renegotiated over time.

The music of Tin Pan Alley has proven an extremely rich source for investigations of race, ethnicity, and identity in America, most clearly with respect to Jewish American identity-making and the cultural history of black/white racial relations. The existence of a large body of Asian-themed Tin Pan Alley songs suggests, however, that other important trajectories involving the construction of ethnic and racial identity have been overlooked. To illuminate the role of music in molding ideas of Asia and Asian America, this essay focuses on the song "Chinatown, My Chinatown" by lyricist William Jerome and composer Jean Schwartz, offering detailed accounts of its origin, its 1910 Broadway debut, its presentation as sheet music, and its extensive performance history. By caricaturing local Chinatowns as foreign, opium-infested districts within U.S. borders, the song exemplifies turn-of-the-century musical orientalism as it was directed toward a local immigrant community. Yet the popular standard continues to resonate today in performance, recordings, film, television, cartoons, advertising, and the latest entertainment products. To account for the song's enduring cultural impact, this essay traces its history across diverse performance contexts over the last century.

Abstract The unique neighborhood style of San Francisco Chinatown is influenced by Chinese and American culture, history and social system. Through field investigation, Chinese and English literature collection, and spatial analysis, this paper interprets the motivation of its style evolution. In the process of research, the author tries to analyze the changes and driving forces of Chinatown in San Francisco from three dimensions: the city scale, the blocks scale, and the building scale. The results show that the formation process of Chinatown in San Francisco and the range of its blocks are deeply influenced by the world political pattern in the early 20th century, the Sino-American multi-party regulations and Sino-American relations. The architectural style of the block is influenced by the Eastern and Western cultures, which is a distinctive architectural feature. The traditional architecture is deeply influenced by the architectural style of southern Fujian, while the new architecture is mainly based on the modernist architectural style. Among the main factors affecting the evolution of Chinatown in San Francisco, gold rush, earthquake, traditional Chinese architectural style and immigration policy to China are the internal mechanisms of the formation of Chinatown’s spatial characteristics.

In 2013, as part of ‘A Chinatown Celebration,’ a month-long festival celebrating Canada’s oldest Chinatown, the Royal BC Museum (RBCM) mounted a temporary exhibition Tradition in Felicities: Celebrating 155 Years of Victoria’s Chinatown TiF) (Figure 1). The exhibit also celebrated the Chinese Freemasons’ 150 anniversary in Canada. TiF featured a unique centerpiece: a handcrafted lantern created in the 1930s by Victoria’s Chinese Freemasons, one of the oldest Chinese organizations in Canada (Figure 2). It is the oldest-known such lantern in North America and Southeast Asia. ‘Objects,’ as scholars of material culture point out, ‘help [people] to know, understand, and situate [them]selves within the world, both externally and internally’(Clouse 2008: 6). The connections of objects to lived experiences render them historically and culturally meaningful. In tracing the history of the lantern, we consulted both members of the Chinese Freemasons, including elder Jon Joe who helped to identify the names listed on the lantern, and Chinatown’s former residents and descendants, in accordance with the RBCM’s practice of multicultural community outreach and participation.

The findings is that the Chinatown growth is influenced by political factors, it is a regime’s policy towards the Chinese community. The Surakarta Chinatown continued to grow organically around economic, business and trade nodes and approaching main transportation path and nodes. Its landmark is a temple. Chinatown inhabitant is not only Chinese, there are natives and other ethnicities. The biggest Chinatown growth is around Solo's golden triangle, namely around Gede Market, Klewer Market and Legi Market. It also grows around Solo City landmark, the North-South cosmological axis in Kasunanan Palace. The second rapid growth is in the Solo Baru. The trading image of Chinatown was overlap with the cultural image of Solo City. </p>

AbstractIn the early twentieth century, Chinatowns in the West were ghettoes for Chinese immigrants who were marginalized and considered ‘other’ by the dominant society. In Western eyes, these areas were the no-go zones of the Oriental ‘other’. Now, more than a hundred years later, traditional Chinatowns still exist in some cities but their meaning and role has been transformed, while in other cities entirely new Chinatowns have emerged. This article discusses how Chinatowns today are increasingly contested sites where older diasporic understandings of Chineseness are unsettled by newer, neoliberal interpretations, dominated by the pull of China's new-found economic might. In particular, the so-called ‘rise of China’ has spawned a globalization of the idea of ‘Chinatown’ itself, with its actual uptake in urban development projects the world over, or a backlash against it, determined by varying perceptions of China's global ascendancy as an amalgam of threat and opportunity.

Petudungan Street is one of the roads in Semarang Chinatown that connects the main road of Mataram with Semarang Chinatown. This road is located directly adjacent to the Semarang River. House buildings in this area are one of the main factors in the formation of the environment both on a macro and micro scale. The row house buildings in this area have a Chinatown-Indies style because these residential buildings found many things that reflect the creativity of acculturation of Chinese and local cultures. Like having a roof supported by a wall on the edge with openings on the roof. But the façade has a local influence that manifests itself in the panel openings in the form of panel doors.

This study set out to find the people’s perceptions about Chinatown in Windhoek, Namibia. This was prompted by the negative publicity in the local media about Chinese businesses and their negative impact on local businesses in the various sectors of the economy. Chinatown in Windhoek represents an embodiment of Chinese businesses because of the large concentration in one area. Was the negative publicity in the local media, affecting peoples` perception of Chinatown? Answers to this were sought from local traders who sell more or less the same products as the Chinese in Chinatown and from Chinatown customers. Most of the local traders and Customers appreciated the existence of Chinatown for different reasons. Local traders buy things from Chinatown to resell to their customers at a profit. The customers indicated that the Chinese products are affordable. However, on the other hand, a few traders were against Chinatown because it increases competition. Some customers complained about the quality of goods but this did not deter them from shopping in Chinatown as Chinese products continued to grow since and Chinese entrepreneurs are encountered everywhere in the country, including remote villages and towns. Henceforth, this study gauged at how the local shop owners and customers perceived whether they support and approve the existence of Chinese retail enclaves in Windhoek and elsewhere across the country.

Pancoran Glodok is an area where ethnic Chinese are the main population. However, since the 1998 riots, Chinatown culture has begun to dim, so that this area is forgotten as a Chinatown area and the quality of the area is decreasing. The purpose of this design is to continue to develop the Chinatown culture of Pancoran by the Chinatown culinary tourism program, as well as provide open spaces to carry out Chinese culture. The design uses the application of the concept of Third Place in the formation of the program and uses the application of contextual architecture and also Chinatown architecture in the formation of compositions and application to the facade of the building. The findings obtained in the form of a design result are a design with the application of the third place concept and contextual architecture, as well as an application with Chinatown architecture so that it can become a Chinatown icon in the Pancoran Glodok area, which has a lot of potential.

Chinatown architecture in Bagansiapiapi is a major component of the Chinatown area as an identity with various facades influenced by local Malay culture. The growth and development of cities with economic orientation is often not in line with the understanding to maintain the image of the building, which has an impact on district transformation which can eliminate the existence of Chinatown architecture that currently exists or intersects with the city Commercial center. This can be seen in the changes in facade formation that took place on the Bagansiapiapi Perniagaan street. The typology of facade architecture of the Chinatown building was carried out with the aim of (i)Knowing the character of the facade shape of Chinatown facade, (ii)Getting the dominant formation in each of the facade forming element , so that Chinatown buildings can still be found. The method used is a qualitative method with a descriptive approach, which is directed at describing and interpreting existing conditions. The analysis used by classifying facades on elements of Malay Chinatown architecture includes types of building dimensions, ownership and function modules, which are formed by facade components (roofs, vents, doors, windows, walls, and stilt construction). The findings of this study are the facade of the Chinatown building in Bagansiapiapi on the facade of formation elements that have dominance: 1) Module composition of the core dimensions (a) 1 function of the house floor with wood 2) The shape of the gable, the formation of plain rectangular windows and two long ornaments downward, the formation of the window extends downward by placing a balanced composition right and left, setting a horizontal wall, using a stilt construction.

Local wisdom is essential in urban development planning by bringing cultural values. Local wisdom in housing and settlements forms special characteristics both in spatial and social aspects. Chinatown is a form of residential area created by Chinese community groups. Sudiroprajan Chinatown Village is the center of Chinese settlement which is also located in the economic center area of Surakarta City. The method used in this research is qualitative with literature study, observation, description and analysis of settlement character based on physical and non-physical characteristics. Chinatown Village has a linear pattern following the road and is influenced by feng shui in arranging the interior and exterior of housing. Most residents in Sudiroprajan Chinatown Village work in the trade and services sector, namely by opening businesses in house buildings or at Pasar Gede. The temple is also the worship centre for Chinese residents in Chinatown Village. The local wisdom found in Chinatown Village influences other activities, such as the emergence of economic activities and cultural tourism. This shows that local wisdom influences the character and condition of settlements physically and non-physically.

Cette étude examine les représentations du triangle de Choisy, le quartier reconnu comme Chinatown de Paris, dans trois films français contemporains : Augustin, roi du Kung-fu (1999), Paris, je t’aime (2006) et Made in China (2019). L’article a pour objectif de montrer le regard, qui se manifeste à travers ces films, porté par le courant dominant de la société française sur cette enclave urbaine et sur la sous-culture sino-française. Avec une analyse des images de paysage urbain du quartier, des personnages masculins occidentaux qui se présentent dans Chinatown et des personnages féminins d’origine asiatique qui habitent ici, l’article présente les représentations cinématographiques de ce Chinatown parisien à travers trois plans : sa postmodernité architecturale, sa fonction dans l’organisation sociale de Paris et son rapport avec le courant dominant de la société française. L’article fait valoir que le Chinatown parisien représente le côté multiculturel de Paris sur l’écran. Ainsi, les images de Chinatown nous permettent d’observer l’évolution du multiculturalisme dans la société française.

Full textAbstract:
This article explores the potential of the LL to evaluate ethnically-defined spaces. Focusing on the area referred to as ‘Chinatown’ in central Liverpool, it examines the relationships between space, representation, and identity. Interviews with actors and passers-by indicate that the location and definition of Chinatown are interpreted inconsistently. As the article argues, however, the LL contains useful information for locating and qualifying the ethnic space. Scrutinizing both interview data and an empirical corpus of all the texts visible in the space, the article aims to define the borders of Chinatown, and the expression of ethnic identity therein. Whilst testifying to the commodification of aesthetic ideals and symbolic imagery, the LL simultaneously reveals an in-group community representative of authentic Chineseness. Exploring the dynamics of linguistic exclusion and accommodation, the data indicate not only that the identity of Chinatown is multi-layered, but also that its borders are subjective and not definable spatially.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract The current study reports a quantitative investigation of the linguistic landscape (LL) in Singapore’s Chinatown. The database of the study comprises a total of 831 instances of signs in the form of photographs that were collected in Chinatown. The study finds that English dominates the LL while Mandarin Chinese is ranked as the second frequently used language. The study also identifies significant differences in LL features between top-down and bottom-up signs. Specifically, these differences include what languages are used; monolingual, bilingual and multilingual compositions; code preference; and forms of Chinese scripts. The present study suggests that English now dominates the linguistic landscape of Chinatown. Even though many scholars have described the sociolinguistic situation in Singapore as being ‘English-knowing’, the data shows a shift towards being ‘English-dominant’, suggesting a gradual but sustained dilution of its multilingual ethos. The study also complicates our understanding of the dominance of English in multilingual societies such as Singapore, where a competing dominant language (Mandarin Chinese) may be seen to continue to exert considerable influence on the dynamics of English-dominant language use but, at the same time, whose main function is shifting towards the symbolic rather than communicative.

Full textAbstract:
This essay adopts and adapts memory work, as developed by Annette Kuhn, as a method to search for the author's grandmother in Chinese American feminist film history. Foregrounding a trans-feminist perspective that moves across and between nations and film cultures, it introduces readers to a relatively unknown “orphan” documentary film, Forever Chinatown (1960). For the author and her family, the film carries with it a history of trauma that shapes what is remembered about it. Drawing on work in feminist film studies, particularly the notion of an archive of feelings, the essay blends life writing, theory, and visual-textual analysis to both allow the author to write her way into the film and trace her grandmother's presence in and labor on the film.

Who holds the right to decide what gets remembered? Conversely, the right to forget? The interior architecture installation, Memory in Suspension, exhibited in Toronto’s Chinatown West as part of Museum of Toronto’s 2020 Intersections Festival at Cecil Community Centre, combines new and old technologies to tell the forgotten stories, wilful omissions, and accumulation of silences that exist beyond Toronto’s official heritage definition of its Chinatown neighbourhoods. Foregrounding the lack of records and archival materials available, Memory in Suspension develops an alternative approach to heritage reconstruction when confronted with a historically significant interior which has no architectural records or documentation. By unearthing the unrecorded histories of the first Chinese owned business in Toronto, Sam Ching & Co. Chinese Laundry, we explore what marginalised communities have known for some time—namely, all that is recorded is not necessarily all that is, and what is remembered extends far beyond what is recorded. Through interior architecture, Chinatown Lost and Found asks what we choose to remember and which tools and technologies keep those memories alive. This article explores how interior architecture can create a dialogue between official history and the associative nature of lived experience. Learning from these productive tensions, we suggest how interior architecture can use old and new archival technologies to empower community stakeholders to safeguard the future heritage(s) of Toronto’s Chinatowns. In particular, this article links 3D scanning technologies to community memory and marginalisation to pursue a dynamic and reversal-based interior architecture approach that critically positions how subjects inhabit, constitute and are constituted by the spaces in which they find themselves. In doing so, this article offers a more holistic approach and account of the instability of space and time in relation to memory and heritage for interior architectural practice.

In 1938, the Chinese American community in Los Angeles hosted the Moon Festival in Old Chinatown as a fundraiser for Chinese victims of the Sino-Japanese War. Held against the backdrop of Bowl of Rice fundraisers across the United States, and the demolition of most of Old Chinatown by the construction of Union Station, the 1938 Moon Festival attracted tens of thousands of visitors to Old Chinatown while providing a stage for local Chinese Americans to perform self-representations of Chinatown to visitors. Focusing on Chinese American performances such as those of the Los Angeles Mei Wah Girls’ Drum Corps, this article examines the extent to which Chinese Americans utilized the festival’s performances of race and gender to challenge Orientalist ideas about the their community.

The Chinatown area around the Liong Hok Bio Temple area is one of the areas in Magelang City which is known by many as a trade center. The morphology of the Chinatown area of Magelang City can be seen from the structure of the formation of road patterns, changes in plots, and the presence of buildings with characters that are still standing. The occurrence of these developments has the potential to change and destroy the history that is the architectural heritage of the city. This study aims to determine the morphological characteristics of the developments that occur, so that in the future it can determine the appropriate development concept for the Chinatown area of Magelang City based on Tissue Analysis. From this research, it is known that Chinatown area forms a historic urban area which has a certain character as an area that has strength in the development of the city of Magelang. This will be used as a reference in basic concept for developing the Chinatown in Magelang City as a "Trade Area".
