The SICA, established in the golden age of reform and opening-up, has been adhering to its mission of “strengthening mutual understanding and friendly cooperation between Shanghai and other countries or regions through international cultural exchanges in various areas, so as to promote the economic development, scientific progress and cultural prosperity of the city” for more than 30 years. It has been exploring new modes of international exchange and has been actively engaging in a variety of international culture exchanges on different levels in broad fields. On behalf of the entire staff of the SICA, I hereby would like to extend our sincere gratitude for the concern and support offered by various levels of government departments, Council members of the SICA, partner agencies and cultural institutions, people from all circles of life, and friends from both home and abroad.

  • Shanghai, China Overview Introduction
    Shanghai, China Overview Introduction The name Shanghai still conjures images of romance, mystery and adventure, but for decades it was an austere backwater. After the success of Mao Zedong's communist revolution in 1949, the authorities clamped down hard on Shanghai, castigating China's second city for its prewar status as a playground of gangsters and colonial adventurers. And so it was. In its heyday, the 1920s and '30s, cosmopolitan Shanghai was a dynamic melting pot for people, ideas and money from all over the planet. Business boomed, fortunes were made, and everything seemed possible. It was a time of breakneck industrial progress, swaggering confidence and smoky jazz venues. Thanks to economic reforms implemented in the 1980s by Deng Xiaoping, Shanghai's commercial potential has reemerged and is flourishing again. Stand today on the historic Bund and look across the Huangpu River. The soaring 1,614-ft/492-m Shanghai World Financial Center tower looms over the ambitious skyline of the Pudong financial district. Alongside it are other key landmarks: the glittering, 88- story Jinmao Building; the rocket-shaped Oriental Pearl TV Tower; and the Shanghai Stock Exchange. The 128-story Shanghai Tower is the tallest building in China (and, after the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, the second-tallest in the world). Glass-and-steel skyscrapers reach for the clouds, Mercedes sedans cruise the neon-lit streets, luxury- brand boutiques stock all the stylish trappings available in New York, and the restaurant, bar and clubbing scene pulsates with an energy all its own. Perhaps more than any other city in Asia, Shanghai has the confidence and sheer determination to forge a glittering future as one of the world's most important commercial centers.

  • Making the Shanghai History Museum / Shanghai Revolution Museum
    Shanghai History Museum / Shanghai Revolution Museum Report #1 A City, its History, and its Museum(s): Making the Shanghai History Museum / Shanghai Revolution Museum By: Laura Pozzi (University of Warsaw) A City, its History, and its Museum(s): Making the Shanghai History Museum/Shanghai Revolution Museum Dr. Laura Pozzi University of Warsaw Introduction This report was developed within the Horizon2020 project ECHOES: European Colonial Heritage Modalities in Entangled Cities as part of its work package 3 on ‘City Museums and Multiple Colonial Pasts.’ This work package conducts in-depth, qualitative, comparative analyses of three city museums, each representing distinct positions within colonial history. The Shanghai History Museum/Shanghai Revolution Museum (Shanghai shi lishi bowuguan/Shanghai shi lishi geming lishi bowuguan, 上海市历史博物馆 上海市革命历史博物馆) (SHM/SRM) is one of these three case studies. The aim of this report is to reconstruct the history of the museum and illustrate the current state of this institution. The permanent exhibition of the SHM/SRM, which re-opened in spring 2018, is the newest among those displayed in other city museums in the People’s Republic in China (PRC), and as such it provides us with valuable data on contemporary practices of heritage preservation and on the contemporary interpretation of colonial history in the country. The SHM/SRM provides a case study from a city museum located in East Asia. The first reports on the Amsterdam Museum (Ariese 2019) and the Museum of Warsaw (Bukowiecki 2019) prepared in parallel present case studies of city museums from two different geo-political zones (Western Europe and Central and Eastern Europe).

  • SHANGHAI JOURNEY in December of 2009
    SHANGHAI JOURNEY JOHN BAILLIEUL In December of 2009, CDC will be held in China – in the historically important city of commerce, Shanghai. Shanghai has been a nexus in space and time linking important points and events in the world’s oldest civilization. Located in the Yangze River delta, it has served as a gateway connecting the vast and fertile interior to points outside of China. Today, with more than twenty million inhabitants (according to the China Daily—http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/en/doc/2003- 12/05/content 287714.htm), it is the largest city in China, and it ranks as the world’s eleventh largest city. Part of the allure of modern Shanghai is the way it blends the urban landscape of ultramodern skyscrapers with a vast collection historically important sites. 1. CIVILIZATION AND TECHNOLOGY IN ANCIENT CHINA The history of Shanghai is inextricably tied to the much older history of all of China. Extend- ing backwards in time nearly five thousand years, this history is unlike any other. While the great civilizations of Greece, Rome and various middle eastern empires went through standard stages of expansion, imperial influence, and decay, China has risen and fallen repeatedly, only to rise again. It now seems that China is once again on the rise and destined for prominence in the twenty-first century. There are clear accounts of major accomplishments in science, engineering, and other indicia of civilization that significantly predated similar developments in Europe and the rest of the world. That the Chinese were the first to invent printing was discovered by the British Hungarian explorer Marc Aurel Stein, who traveled to Dunhuang in 1907 where he unearthed (somewhat literally) the Diamond Sutra, an early Budhist book that had been printed in 868 AD, essentially 600 years before Gutenberg and the first printed books in Europe.

  • Shanghai Times
    Urbanatomy Electronic Urban Future Pamphlets Series 1: Time Sequence (2011-13), #1 Shanghai Times CEO: Leo Zhou. Text: Nick Land. Cover image: Anna Greenspan. Cover design: Ivy Zhang. Shanghai Times Contents 1. Introduction 2. Eternal Return and After 3. Neomodernity 4. A Time-Traveler’s Guide to Shanghai 5. Twisted Times Introduction Urban Future Pamphlets bundle short essay length pieces and series from the first two years of the Urban Future blog together with introductions that provide a retrospective overview and commentary. The first pamphlet series from this period, to be published in three parts, gathers every substantial post primarily focused upon the topic of time. The pieces selected for this first pamphlet were written between March 2011 and February 2013. With the exception of the first essay (which restricts itself to the time-structure of modernity in general) they all explore the intersection between the shape of time and the city of Shanghai. The integration of urban and temporal analysis, towards which they tend, envisages the city as a spontaneously self-assembling time-machine, which is to say: as a process that cannot simply be included within a general history. Time is warped by urban density, with a predictability that would be no less reliable than the curving of space by mass, were it not that predictability (even in its most minimalistic conception) has internal dependency upon an untangled time-line. Eternal Return and After (March 2011) poses modernity as a problem, at the highest level of abstraction. ‘Modernity’ describes an unprecedented cultural enterprise, which is that of leaving the nursery of eternal recurrence, propelling history onto an inconclusive path between cyclical and progressive time.
