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.
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.
犹记得阅读《文化权力与国家》时,常常有走在沙滩俯拾珠贝的惊喜感,或许世殊人异,专属少年的“curiosity”也渐渐消磨。所以读“杜赞奇继《文》之后的又一力作”时,对“复线的历史”总也燃不起兴奋感了。 也或许是因为这个过于“弥散”的主题,确实无法像诸如“赢利型经纪”...
评分我不知道这到底是怎么一回事情,但我发现了这件滑稽的事。 以下是国内出版杜赞奇的Rescuing History from the Nation一书的三个版本。 江苏人民出版社2009年的版本除了封面换了之外,排版与2008版本无任何不同。所以此处就只说03版和08版的比较问题。 针对《从民族国家拯救历史...
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...
评分历史不再纯粹地关心过去究竟发生了什么。所谓真实历史的问题,本身遭到了质疑和解构。存在于叙述象征之中的历史,而不是所谓的过去存在之全部,才能被把握被想象。于是决定历史如何呈现的不仅仅是过去,还有现在。杜赞奇提出“复线的历史”(bifurcated history),来反思...
中间几章很不错,比如反满的民族主义如何把秘密会社和革命党人联结起来,以及辛亥革命后短暂的联省自治、知识分子们关于联邦体制的激辩。但是没理解全书的general thesis…
评分浏览了一下,并未读完。下次要重温
评分《从民族国家拯救历史》老杜的嘛
评分一本以后得进书单的书。Part 1启发非常大,Part 2碰的都是大问题。【M: 20 Modernity--History (Mode)--Nation-State (Subject/Agency)】
评分翻译的完全出线,这套书目终于开启了第一本,有点怀疑自己还能看几本?欲哭无泪!
