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.
杜赞奇的杰作《从民族国家拯救历史》的前三章和后三章的画风其实不太一样。第七章与结论甚至有跑偏之嫌,事实上倒是吐露了作者著书的真实意图。全书最费解的是第五章和第六章,其实第四章如果没有中国秘密结社与革命政党在中国近代史中的相关学术训练背景,也很费解。 杜赞奇的...
评分杜赞奇(Prasenjit Duara )是个有趣的汉学家。他与其他汉学家的不同点在于身份——与大多数出身欧美或日本的汉学家不同,他来自与中国近邻,同样被视作东方文化的代表而又截然不同的印度。 印度之于中国,关系历史悠久而又深远,但两种异质文化的互相打量却又往往意味深长。然...

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。 ́︿ ̀。) 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...
