Abstract
This paper deals with kinds of attitudes local government taken toward community construction and gentrification, and the dynamic relationship between these two factors through a case of Yongkang community Taipei. The author try to connect theories of gentrification with the context of Taiwan, and retheorize the process of social replacement and transformation of space by analyzing the dynamic relationship of community-gentrification-globalization, then discusses the bourgeois character of the emerging civil society in a developing country. There are three paths of analysis: 1. If gentrification is one of important strategies connecting into the circuits of global capital and cultural circulation, is it one of purposes of community construction? 2. How could we distinguish the emerging of civil society from the spread of bourgeois ideology, with the recognition of “civil society is actually bourgeois society”? 3. If community construction becomes the front of consumerism for commoditilization of space and elaboration of space consumption?
Gentrification is retheorized as “space etching” here. It means that social structure shifting delicately and producing fitting new space to make space consumption elaborating through the spread of bourgeois ideology.
In conclusion, the author believes that community construction and gentrification have become an important form of expansion of the space of capitalism. The civil society encouraged by progressive planning will have bourgeois character. The relationship of production is still covered, even if they establish a new cultural hegemony successfully. The disorder of class may prevent class conflict, but has no use to shift the structure of class in consumer society, moreover, it will contribute to widen the poverty gap.
