ABSTRACT
This chapter examines the hyper-fragmented urbanization of collected memories found in twenty-first-century Shanghai through the lens of deterritorialization – the disparity between cultural subjects and associated objects across time and space boundaries. In Shanghai, three deterritorialization typological codes are identified: artifacts (industrial memory), cross-cultural pollination (cultural memory), and fragmentation (developmental memory). These morphological typologies – constructed by collisions, hybrids, and fractures – continuously evolve and inform a complex history of heterogeneous urbanism.
