Prasenjit Duara offers the first systematic account of the relationship between the nation-state, nationalism, and the concept of linear history. Focusing primarily on China and including discussion of India, Duara argues that many historians of postcolonial nation-states have adopted a linear, evolutionary history of the Enlightenment/colonial model. As a result, they have written repressive, exclusionary, and incomplete accounts.
The backlash against such histories has resulted in a tendency to view the past as largely constructed, imagined, or invented. In this book, Duara offers a way out of the impasse between constructionism and the evolving nation; he redefines history as a series of multiple, often conflicting narratives produced simultaneously at national, local, and transnational levels. In a series of closely linked case studies, he considers such examples as the very different histories produced by Chinese nationalist reformers and partisans of popular religions, the conflicting narratives of statist nationalists and of advocates of federalism in early twentieth-century China. He demonstrates the necessity of incorporating contestation, appropriation, repression, and the return of the repressed subject into any account of the past that will be meaningful to the present. Duara demonstrates how to write histories that resist being pressed into the service of the national subject in its progress—or stalled progress—toward modernity.
Prasenjit Duara is chair of the department of history at the University of chicago. He is the author of Culture, Power, and the State: Rural North China, 1900-1942 and Sovereignty and Authentcity: Manchukuo and the East Asian Modern.

评分花了一个多星期的时间才把美籍印度裔历史学家杜赞奇的《从民族国家拯救历史:民族主义话语与中国现代史研究》看完,期间有很多事干扰了对这本书的阅读,当然此书中难懂的话语也是阅读如此缓慢的原因之一。杜赞奇是研究中国问题的专家,他的另外一本名著是《文化、权力与国...
评分看完这本书已经有一段时间,但是前几天翻出笔记来检索时发现对这本书的框架结构已经生疏得很,张嘴竟然说不出作者到底想表达什么观点,因此决定花点时间,把原先一些孤立的观点材料总结出一个有连贯性的主题,算做一个复习。 作者开篇即提出,在民族主义的意识形态下...
评分20世纪60年代以来,受西方学术界“语言学转向”(linguistic turn)的影响,历史学家认识到:“历史叙述的功能像其它的意识形态论述一样,并不是透明地、而是具有道德和政治上的意味来展示现实的”,因而,“把叙述学的理论视角应用于我们所探求的关于过去的叙述实践中”就非常...
评分。 ́︿ ̀。) 最近赶时间想从中译本走速读路线,然后发现骄傲的译者们响亮地打了我一个礼拜的耳光。开始考虑要不要对照英译本做纠错,然后复仇(然而浪费生命)……挑战我忍耐的限度就是《从民族国家拯救历史》这本书。 英文著作读起来非常之棒!连杜赞奇的注释好赞...
