Abstract (sommario):
This paper explores the origin and development of the cadastre in the French Concession in Shanghai (1849–1943). The paper mainly focuses on how the cadastre functioned as an instrument of power in different periods. It argues that the cadastre originated from and was influenced by the cadastre system in France, although it evolved with its own characteristics owing to the complex political and administrative configuration that prevailed in Shanghai. It actually took more than a half-century for the French municipality to make the cadastre the only effective means and instrument for the management of land and land tax. It took several successive land surveys to reveal all the land in the French Concession. Eventually, however, the Cadastral Office in the French Concession cadastre took precedence and dispossessed the Chinese authorities of their initial power over land.

Liao, Yvonne. "Coiled Colonialities: Pianos and Place Signification in Shanghai’s Treaty Port History". Chopin Review, n. 4-5 (2 marzo 2023): 30–55. http://dx.doi.org/10.56693/cr.6.
Abstract (sommario):
Pianos find resonance in Shanghai’s treaty port history through their constant and changing inflections of coloniality, here understood as a deep-rooted historical condition replaying itself in strange, latent ways. Accordingly, this article explores the piano’s role as subject, enmeshed as it is within the treaty port as a peculiar plural setting, within the treaty port’s workings of music, power and place, and within the treaty port’s multiple entanglements with coloniality – in situ and over time. The piano, in a sense, lives vicariously through its allusions to colonialism’s hangover codes and structures. In turn, I conceptualise and investigate the piano (as) subject by cross-examining colonialities in and across French Shanghai of the 1930s and Chinese Nationalist Shanghai of the 1940s. Significantly, this discussion extends through temporal significations of place, revealing inner paradoxes of enclosure and experience, for one thing, and their regulatory manifestations across Shanghai’s treaty[1]port and post-treaty-port years, for another. Indeed, Shanghai’s French Concession in the 1930s, along with its incorporation back into the city’s Chinese Nationalist municipality from the mid to the late 1940s, are especially pertinent moments of inquiry, for these identified areas expose an underlying process of continuity-in[1]change, amid and despite the post-war resumption of sovereignty. Further such particularities help to eschew the rigidity of a foreign/indigenous dichotomy. Through observations of social order and ordering, as derived from the piano subject and its place signification, I explore the coiled workings of coloniality in Shanghai’s treaty port history, as well as interlocked meanings of power and perplexity, territory and ambience across licensed and taxable venues in the French Concession and the Chinese Nationalist municipality. Finally, from the treaty port setting, wider reflections follow on what I term ‘colonialities without recourse’, by which colonialities in the plural beget non-conclusive colonialities – in themselves awkward, yet telling, narratives of musical lives.

Abstract (sommario):
The article is dedicated to the Russian residents of Shanghai Avenue Joffre. After the October Revolution of 1917 and the end of the Civil War in 1922, refugees from Russia began to arrive in Shanghai en masse. Thanks to external assistance and their own efforts, Russian emigrants quickly achieved material success, which helped to intensify social activities in the Russian community of Shanghai. This can be illustrated by the situation on Avenue Joffre on the former French Concession, where most of the Russian shops operated. The article uses rare Chinese sources, including publications of literary and artistic societies, emigrant press (advertising for shops, restaurants, bookstores, etc.), modern statistical information, as well as the results of the authors' field research in China in 2010–2022.

Abstract (sommario):
This book compares two uneasily related exile communities in early twentieth-century Shanghai: the Russians and the Jews. Although traders, including some Jews, had drifted down from Siberia from the mid-nineteenth century, the Russians in Shanghai, for a time the city's largest foreign community, were mainly remnants of Admiral Kolchak's “White” army who fled Vladivostok in 1922–23, with a rag-tag group of camp followers, aboard what remained of the former imperial fleet. Most settled in the French Concession district and worked as small shopkeepers. The Jewish refugees from Germany and Central Europe who followed in the period 1938–41 had little in common with the Russians, some of whom regarded the Jews as commercial rivals, and many of whom were deeply infected by the traditional anti-Semitism of the Russian extreme right.

Abstract (sommario):
AbstractThis article, based on western primary sources, seeks to investigate the relationship between western imperialism in China and the making of modern Chinese statecraft in urban form, focusing on the French perspective and on historical institutionalism. Both internal rebellions and western empires shaped modern Chinese cities. The Chinese response to western intervention is a more complicated story. Pace Paul Cohen, we do need to know about foreign activities in modern China – not as ‘impact-response’ and ‘tradition-modernity’ paradigms – but rather as part of local history, both in terms of local administration and urban landscape. Euro-American expansion and exploitation are not part of a unitary or totalizing enterprise, and warfare and Franco-British conflicts facilitated the making of modern municipal administration in the French Concession of Shanghai; on the other hand, Chinese forces indirectly shaped the structure of the institutions of imperialism, as well as pointing to divergent national approaches to imperialism.

Abstract (sommario):
In a global context, the story of the Jesuit compound in Shanghai, since its establishment by French Jesuits in 1847, reflected not only conflicts between rival powers in Europe but also the fight for their interests in the Eastern world. The female Catholic orders at the east bank of Zi-ka-wei compound provided a unique window approaching the complexity. The Pope, who was stuck without legal status in the Vatican after 1861, was also seeking the chance to save the authority of the Church in the face of questions regarding the extent of his temporal power and the status of Rome in the context of Italian unification. As in the Reformation, a break-through in the east seemed to offer a solution for losses in Europe. However, the Jesuits to the East in the late 19th century were not only troops working and fighting on behalf of the Pope; their identities under the French Protectorate added complexity to an already complicated story involving not just the Church, but the course of world history. Locating the Jesuit-affiliated women and children hospice in the French Concession but outside the Zi-ka-wei compound was a result of how different conflicts played themselves out.

Abstract (sommario):
L'existence de forces de police dans la Concession française n'a pas été prévue dans les articles de base qui réglementaient les colonies étrangères en Chine. La police donc s’est constituée à un moment où les autorités chinoises locales étaient paralysées pendant la rébellion des Taiping et de la Société du Petit Couteau dans la ville. Elle a vu le jour comme un fait accompli. La police française est passée par un processus de militarisation et de la professionnalisation sous la direction de Mallet, Fiori et Fabre. À la fin de ce processus, la police de la Concession française était une force de police moderne sophistiquée. La police était composée d'officiers de plusieurs nationalités, les quatre plus importantes étant les Français, les Russe, les Chinois et les Vietnamiens. Grâce à une étude comparative des conditions de recrutement, de formation, de rémunération, de protection sociale et le taux de renouvellement, j’ai pu établir que la police était une institution hiérarchique basée sur un traitement différencié en fonction de la race et la nationalité. La police a dû ajuster sa stratégie de contrôle spatial aux trois agrandissements successifs du territoire de la Concession française. En contrôlant l'espace urbain, la police a non seulement aidé à développer une société civilisée et ordonnée, la « Shanghai Frenchtown », mais elle a également contribué à créer le caractère particulier de la Concession française de Shanghai.A partir des années 1920 et jusqu’aux années 1930, l'expansionnisme du nationalisme, le communisme et la menace japonaise se sont réunies à Shanghai et ont mené à la création et au développement du Service politique de la police françaiseThe existence of police forces in the French Concession was not planned under the basic articles that regulated the foreign settlements in China. The police came into existence at a time when Chinese local authorities were paralyzed during the Taiping and Small Sword rebellions in the city. The police came into being as a fait accompli. The French police underwent a process of militarization and professionalization under the leadership of Mallet, Fiori and Fabre to cope with the new challenges in Shanghai. At the end of this process, the police of the French Concession was fine and complex modern police force. The police were composed of officers from several nationalities, the four most important being French, Russian, Chinese and Vietnamese. Through a comparative study of recruiting conditions, training courses, salaries, welfare and job turnover, I establish that the police was a hierarchal institution based on a differentiated treatment according to race and nationality. The police forces adjusted their strategy of spatial control to the three successive expansions of the territory of the French Concession. By controlling the urban space, the police not only helped develop a civilized and ordered Shanghai Frenchtown, but it also created the special cultural character of the French Concession in Shanghai. From the 1920s to the 1930s, nationalism, communism and Japanese expansionism met in Shanghai and led to the creation and development of the Political Service of the French police force

Chabaille, Fleur. "La concession française de Tianjin : une histoire connectée de l 'expansion des concessions étrangères en Chine (1846-1946)". Thesis, Lyon 2, 2015. http://www.theses.fr/2015LYO20153.
Abstract (sommario):
Cette thèse cherche à offrir de nouveaux éclairages sur le déploiement territorial des concessions étrangères en Chine aux XIXe et XXe siècles. Bien que la période étudiée s’étende de 1846 à la rétrocession des dernières concessions en 1946, un accent particulier est placé sur la décennie 1910 qui annonce l’essoufflement définitif des logiques expansionnistes. La première partie s’articule autour de l’analyse du projet d’extension mené par la Municipalité française de Tianjin de 1902 à 1946 dans le quartier de Laoxikai 老西開. Cet exemple emblématique sert de pilier et de tremplin pour l’écriture d’une histoire connectée de l’expansion des concessions étrangères. Le cas d’étude centré sur Tianjin permet de structurer la réflexion qui s’élargit, dans une deuxième partie, à Shanghai et Hankou. La mise en perspective de ces trois villes dévoile les principes et conditions dans lesquels évoluent les impérialismes étrangers en Chine, du rôle moteur joué par leur compétition mutuelle aux mécanismes d’échange et d’accommodement avec les fonctionnaires officiels et les citadins chinois. Elle révèle également la difficile posture et la faiblesse de l’Etat central avant et après la Révolution de 1911, ainsi que la complexité des rapports entre autorités nationales et locales. Elle représente enfin un observatoire privilégié d'une frange de la société chinoise des ports ouverts dont les modes d’expression et de contestation connaissent un tournant significatif durant les années 1910. La mise en connexion de ces mutations croisées conduit à nuancer tant le grand récit historiographique d’un impérialisme occidental triomphant que les représentations orthodoxes associées au nationalisme « moderne » chinoisThis thesis aims to further clarify the territorial deployment of foreign settlements in China in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Although the period examined extends from 1846 to the retrocession of the last concessions in 1946, special emphasis is placed on the 1910s, a decade which spelled the end of expansionist logic. The first part analyzes the project of expansion led by the French Municipality of Tianjin from 1902 to 1946 in the Laoxikai District 老西開. This symbolic example serves both as pillar and springboard for writing a connected history of the expansion of foreign settlements. The case study on Tianjin provides a clearer analysis that encompasses Shanghai and Hankou in the second part. Establishing a perspective on the three cities reveals the principles and conditions under which foreign imperialism evolved in China, where mutually competing forces played leading roles. Further, it captures and illustrates the mechanisms of exchange and compromise engaged with Chinese officials and urban citizens. It also discloses the difficult position and weakness of the Chinese State before and after the 1911 Revolution, and the complexity of the relationship between national and local authorities. Finally, it offers a unique vantage point from which to observe sections of Chinese society within the treaty ports whose forms of expression and protest experienced a significant turning point in the 1910s. Relationships between these intertwined evolutions challenge both the dominant historiographical narrative on Western triumphant imperialism and orthodox representations associated with Chinese "modern" nationalism

Wang, Fangfang. "Le port de Shanghai, porte maritime de la Chine, 1843-1912". Electronic Thesis or Diss., Sorbonne université, 2023. http://www.theses.fr/2023SORUL054.
Abstract (sommario):
La présente thèse porte sur le développement du port de Shanghai de 1843 à 1912, en se concentrant sur l’histoire des entreprises étrangères installées à Shanghai pendant cette période. À une époque où la Chine promeut son Initiative de la Ceinture et la Route, visant à étendre son influence mondiale en aidant les pays participants à développer leurs infrastructures publiques, notamment portuaires, il est intéressant de réétudier l’histoire du développement du port de Shanghai durant la période concessionnaire. Les concessions étrangères de Shanghai et les entreprises privées établies sur place entre 1843 et 1912 ont joué un rôle essentiel dans la construction du port de cette ville, qui est devenu par la suite un modèle de développement pour les autres villes portuaires chinoises. La ville de Shanghai telle que nous la connaissons aujourd’hui trouve ses fondations durant cette période. Cette thèse essaie de démontrer en quoi les compétitions commerciales des entreprises étrangères présentes à Shanghai ont été le moteur du développement de son port. Elle explore le contexte historique, les étapes clés de la construction du port, l'aménagement et la gestion, ainsi que l'impérialisme occidental et l'émergence d'une conscience nationale chinoiseThis thesis focuses on the development of the Shanghai port from 1843 to 1912, with a particular emphasis on the history of foreign enterprises established in Shanghai during this period. At a time when China is promoting its Belt and Road Initiative, aimed at expanding its global influence by assisting participating countries in developing their public infrastructure, including ports, it is interesting to reexamine the history of the development of the Shanghai port during the concession period. The foreign concessions in Shanghai and the private enterprises established there between 1843 and 1912 played a crucial role in the construction of the port, which later became a development model for other Chinese port cities. The city of Shanghai as we know it today has its foundations in this period. This thesis seeks to demonstrate how the commercial competition among foreign enterprises in Shanghai drove the development of its port. It explores the historical context, key stages of port construction, planning and management, as well as Western imperialism and the emergence of Chinese national consciousness

Abstract (sommario):
Cette thèse de doctorat s’intéresse à une question peu étudiée par l’historiographie de la Chine moderne et pourtant fondamentale pour la compréhension de l’impérialisme dans l’histoire de la Chine moderne. En s’inscrivant à la croisée de trois chantiers historiographiques, connexes, mais distincts, l’histoire urbaine, l’histoire des empires et l’histoire des forces de l’ordre, elle cherche à mettre en lumière la circulation des techniques et des savoirs de l’État moderne comme « statecraft » au niveau de la ville entre les empires européens et l’État chinois. Son objet central est la question de la défense et du maintien de l’ordre public dans la Concession française comme révélateur à la fois des relations entre les autorités françaises et locales, des tensions éventuelles entre les empires, de la hiérarchisation administrative de l’Empire français sur place, et la répartition du pouvoir de commandement militaire entre autorités civiles et militaires, dans le but d’éclairer la mise en place de l’administration municipale de Shanghai avant l’installation de la municipalité de Kuomintang en 1927 à trois niveaux. Comment les rapports existent-ils entre les trois municipalités au sein de la ville? Comment les autorités françaises construisent-elles une administration de la sécurité sur place? Enfin, comment cette administration de la sécurité répond-elle aux défis de la guerre et du conflit militaire ?This doctoral thesis focuses on a question that has been little studied by the historiography of modern China but that is nevertheless fundamental to the understanding of imperialism in the modern history of this nation. By positioning itself at the intersection of three historiographical camps that are connected and yet distinct—urban history, the history of empires, and the history of the forces of law and order—this thesis will seek to emphasise the idea that the circulation of the skills and knowledge-base of a modern state were an example of “statecraft” within the city of Shanghai, which occupied an intermediary position between the European empires and the Chinese state. The primary focus of the thesis is the issue of defence and the maintenance of public order in the French Concession of Shanghai as being indicative of the relations that existed between the French and local authorities, the possible tensions between the empires, the administrative hierarchy of the French Empire on the ground, and the distribution of the power of military command between the civil and military authorities. The objective is to shed light on the shaping of the municipal administration of Shanghai before the establishment of the Kuomintang municipal authority in 1927 on three levels: what form did relations between the three municipalities within the city take? How did the French authorities build a security administration on the ground? Lastly, how did this security administration respond to the challenges of war and military conflict?

Abstract (sommario):
En tant que le plus grand opérateur français de services publics dans la première moitié du XXe siècle en Chine, la Compagnie française de tramways et d’éclairage électriques de Shanghai (abrégée CFTE) constitue un cas représentatif qui a réussi à mettre en application le modèle de la concession à l’étranger. L’accord des capitaux franco-belges a permis à l’entreprise de monopoliser dans la Concession française de Shanghai les services parallèles de l’électricité, de l’eau et des transports publics (tramway, trolleybus et autobus). Toutefois, l’opération financière et technique de la CFTE n’a pas été moins mise en épreuve suite à une série d’évènements locaux et mondiaux. Cette thèse vise à étudier les performances de la firme tout au long de son exploitation. En premier lieu, le succès de la CFTE est attribuable au soutien et à la protection des autorités publiques de la Concession française. En second lieu, les stratégies tarifaires et d’adaptation effectuées par la firme deviennent des clés d’aboutir ses bonnes performances. En troisième lieu, la CFTE a pris une politique à la fois coopérative et concurrentielle face à ses homologues chinois et anglo-saxons basés en dehors de sa zone d’influence. Vis-à-vis de son concurrent anglo-saxon faisant preuve d’un caractère « audacieux », la CFTE n’échappe pas à une tendance d’américanisation, ce qui se traduit surtout par l’évolution de son organisation structurelleAs the largest French public utilities operator in the first half of the twentieth century in China, the Compagnie française de tramways et d'éclairage électriques de Shanghai (abbreviated to CFTE) is a representative case of successfully applying the concession model abroad. The Franco-Belgian capital agreement enabled the company to monopolize the parallel services of electricity, water, and public transport (tramway, trolleybus and bus) in the Shanghai French Concession. However, the financial and technical operations of CFTE have been no less challenged by a series of local and global events. This thesis aims to study the firm's performances throughout its operation. Firstly, CFTE's success is attributable to the support and protection of the French Concession's public authorities. Secondly, the pricing and adaptation strategies employed by the company are key to its good performances. Thirdly, CFTE has taken a policy that is both cooperative and competitive with its Chinese and Anglo-Saxon counterparts based outside its zone of influence. Compared with its "bold" Anglo-Saxon competitor, CFTE has not escaped a trend toward mericanization which is particularly reflected in the evolution of its structural organization

Abstract (sommario):
It is 1942. Shanghai after Pearl Harbor. Newly-arrived Eiko Kishimoto, a twenty-year-old, London-educated Japanese housewife, settles into a privileged existence in the French Concession as a member of the community of the Occupying Power. Initially, her days are filled with high society lunches and dinners, race course and night club visits and open-air summer concerts, amidst an ebullient and remarkably cosmopolitan society that makes up Shanghai. But all is by no means what it seems. As war progresses, and Japan tightens its control within China, tensions mount, relationships unravel, and allegiances are questioned. It is not long before Eiko awakens to the meaning and implications of occupation for both her international friends and for Japanese civilians. Even her settled domestic life, with a growing family and close proximity to her beloved older sister, is threatened as Japan’s war efforts become more desperate and degenerate. Partly biographical – the author taking inspiration from her mother’s own war experiences in China – My Shanghai, 1942-1946 provides a fascinating insight into the Asia Pacific War as never told before, that is through the eyes of a young Japanese woman caught between her Christian values and loyalty to her country.

Abstract (sommario):
Looking at Shanghai, Hyun Kyung Lee’s research into the preservation of the former headquarters of the Shanghai Provisional Government of Korea (SPGK) in the former French Concession investigates the politics and diplomacy of South Korean–Chinese attempts to commemorate shared heritage. It was only after the 1987 revised Constitution proclaimed the SPKG as the root of the Republic of Korea that collaboration between South Korea and China began, leading to this particular case of Korean heritage making in China. Lee’s investigation of the divergent interpretations of this historic site demonstrates how transnational heritage making can struggle to transcend national mnemonic boundaries.

Abstract (sommario):
Chapter One examines pastiche in the shopping mall and cultural heritage site Xintiandi, before discussing the site’s buried modern art histories marred by cross-cultural conflicts. Xintiandi physically surrounds China’s first communist meeting site of 1921, today memorialized as a museum. The complex was designed with reference to the vernacular homes of its formerly foreign occupied French Concession setting, and is officially celebrated for its “East-meets-West” and “Old-meets-New” architecture, even while the construction demolished most of the site’s existing homes and dislocated thousands of working class residents. This chapter analyzes how Xintiandi’s seemingly benign East-meets-West façades mask collusions between the Chinese Communist Party’s autocratic state power and capitalist development, while romanticizing Shanghai’s modern cosmopolitan legacy. The chapter analyzes examples of Xintiandi’s repressed cultural histories, including the revolutionary art and design experiments of Pang Xunqin, founder of the 1930s avant-garde collective, The Storm Society, leftist writings and art promoted by Lu Xun, and the major Cultural Revolution Era debate sparked by Michelangelo Antonioni’s 1972 documentary, Chung Kuo Cina. The chapter argues that the official admonishment of Shanghai-based cultural projects by Pang and Antonioni speak to collisions between Shanghai’s semi-colonial past, Maoist socialism, and Cultural Revolution Era totalitarianism that still resonate in Shanghai today.
