Abstract:

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.

Keynote Speaker: Professor Steven B. Miles
