香港中文大學都市歷史、文化與傳媒研究中心於2017年2月23至25日舉辦了第一次國際會議，主題為「想象未來：亞洲社區創新與社會韌性」。全球化為物理、社會及文化空間帶來深遠的變化及不確定性，此次會議作為跨學科論壇，提供了讓學者共同批判研究及想像未來城市的平台。參加了這次兩天半會議的與會學者及從業人員來自28個不同機構，並來自13個不同的亞太、歐洲和美洲國家或地區。

[活動回顧] 周大明教授學術講座和工作坊

01 Mar

Category: Conference / Workshop

中山大學社會學與人類學學院、教育部長江學者特聘教授周大鳴教授於2017年3月來港訪問，舉辦學術講座和工作坊，與本地學者和學生交流。活動由香港中文大學人類學系主辦，都市歷史、文化與傳媒研究中心協辦。

學術講座於3月27日舉行，題為「聚落與交通：道路網路與中國城鄉社會結構變遷」。周教授以他多年的研究經驗，探討道路網絡的發展如何改變城鄉結構。周教授指出，以往聚落與聚落之間，往往有一日路程之隔，作為人們在長途旅程中的落腳點。然而，當高速公路和高速鐵路等現代道路網絡普及後，以往的中途站便因交通便捷而沒落，都市的規模也因此變得更大。周教授的例子說明，城鄉的社會科學研究不能局限於某城或某鄉本身，周邊的道路網絡對了解聚落的興衰攸關重要。

於3月29日舉行的「鳳凰村的變遷：都市人類學工作坊」，周教授首先分享了他在潮州地區鳳凰村的多年的追蹤研究。這個典型的華南農村，反映出中國如何在數十年間由「地域社會」和「熟人社會」演變成「移民社會」和「陌生人社會」，顯示出人類學研究見微知著的能力。周教授也探討了追蹤研究作為研究方法的價值，以及在同一地點相隔多年再調查所面對的困難和挑戰。最後，參與工作坊的研究生報告了自己的研究計劃，由周教授作出點評，並提供了不少田野考察時的有用建議，在座研究生都獲益良多。
