Sommario/riassunto

'...A vital contribution to the study of Feng Shui in contemporary urban areas, providing a theoretically and empirically rich rendering of the many lives of an ancient practice as it evolves to serve the needs and interests of a variety of players swept up in enormous political and economic changes...The writing is clear, concise, and economical-a joy to read. The book constitutes an important contribution to the literature on Feng Shui in contemporary societies and it introduces findings that are broadly applicable. It will be widely cited for some time to come.' -Professor Chris Coggins, Bard College at Simon's Rock/Open Society University Network Feng Shui and the City analyses the past and contemporary influences of traditional geomancy on Chinese built environments across three domains: domestic spaces, spaces of commercial development and the public realm. Using Lefebvre's notion of absolute and abstract space-spaces of 'symbolic existence' and 'everyday life' versus spaces of domination and control, it tracks evolving attachment to, and use of, Feng Shui in Guangdong and Hong Kong. The book seeks to understand the changing role of Feng Shui in modern urban development and its regulation, and to question what constitutes authentic Feng Shui today.
