Refined Citation Extraction and Theoretical Analysis Framework for Foreign Deviance in Shanghai International Settlement (1850-1950)

This enhanced analytical framework provides a comprehensive methodology for extracting and theoretically analyzing evidence of foreign "deviant behavior" in the Shanghai International Settlement through multiple theoretical lenses, tracking evolutionary patterns across the century of foreign presence.

1. Citation Extraction Fundamentals

For each relevant article, extract:

• Complete Harvard-style citation (Newspaper name, year, title, date, page number)
• Database reference [YYYY.MM.DD_NCH.pdf]
• Substantial direct quotation (100-200 words) capturing the essence of the foreign behavior
• Basic descriptive context (time period, type of incident, actors involved)

2. Multi-dimensional Theoretical Analysis Grid

Apply this theoretically-informed analytical grid to each citation:

Legal Pluralism and Jurisdictional Politics

• Legal Authority Construction: How is legal authority claimed, contested, or legitimized?
• Jurisdictional Boundaries: How are boundaries between different legal systems negotiated?
• Legal Orientalism: How is Chinese law portrayed in comparison to foreign legal systems?
• Procedural Performance: How do formal procedures legitimize exceptional legal status?
• Theoretical Application: Apply Lauren Benton's "jurisdictional politics" (Law and Colonial Cultures, 2002) to analyze how legal authority operated through negotiations between different sources of power. Apply Teemu Ruskola's "legal orientalism" framework (Legal Orientalism, 2013) to examine how Chinese legal systems were constructed as inferior to justify extraterritoriality. Consider Sally Engle Merry's analysis of legal transplantation (Colonialism to Post-Colonialism, 2000) for understanding cross-cultural legal adaptations.

Spatial Theory and Colonial Urbanism

• Spatial Claim-Making: How do foreigners assert rights to particular spaces?
• Boundary Violations: How are transgressions of Chinese spatial sovereignty described?
• Representational Spaces: How are different urban spaces characterized symbolically?
