Abstract

Abstract In The Human Condition (1958), Hannah Arendt predicated her thesis on societal introspection on what she called “mass society” – a population which had rapidly grown, urbanized and atomized, bringing new imperatives for humans to live together in vast numbers and with closer proximities. Throughout, Arendt discusses how shifting boundaries of public and private define our cities and our lives. As her mass society of three billion now approaches eight billion, how has the relationship between public and private – city and household – played out in the staggering population growth of the sixty years since her book? This article will explore how these six decades since the publication of The Human Condition have seen fundamental transformations in the way we understand what we now call housing, its relationship with the city, and its relationship with collective life.

社会与后社会世界中的“大众”住房——解读汉娜·阿伦特的《大众社会》

摘要在《人类状况》（1958）中，汉娜·阿伦特以她所称的“大众社会”为基础，对社会进行反思，即人口迅速增长、城市化和原子化，为人类带来了大量、更近距离地生活在一起的新需求。阿伦特自始至终都在讨论公共和私人边界的变化如何定义我们的城市和生活。随着她拥有30亿人口的大众社会现在接近80亿，在她出版这本书以来的60年里，公共和私人——城市和家庭——之间的关系是如何发展的？这篇文章将探讨自《人类状况》出版以来的60年里，我们如何理解我们现在所说的住房、它与城市的关系以及它与集体生活的关系，发生了根本性的转变。

期刊介绍： Architecture and Culture, the international award winning, peer-reviewed journal of the Architectural Humanities Research Association, investigates the relationship between architecture and the culture that shapes and is shaped by it. Whether culture is understood extensively, as shared experience of everyday life, or in terms of the rules and habits of different disciplinary practices, Architecture and Culture asks how architecture participates in and engages with it – and how both culture and architecture might be reciprocally transformed. Architecture and Culture publishes exploratory research that is purposively imaginative, rigorously speculative, visually and verbally stimulating. From architects, artists and urban designers, film-makers, animators and poets, from historians of culture and architecture, from geographers, anthropologists and other social scientists, from thinkers and writers of all kinds, established and new, it solicits essays, critical reviews, interviews, fictional narratives in both images and words, art and building projects, and design hypotheses. Architecture and Culture aims to promote a conversation between all those who are curious about what architecture might be and what it can do.
