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.
读完杜赞奇的《从民族国家拯救历史》花了将近一个月的时间,主要是中间停了大半个月,不忍卒读。究其原因就在于翻译之后的书稿语言、逻辑增加或隐藏了很多细节,导致对句子的完整理解、文章段落的逻辑连贯出现了困难,尤其是头两章。所以有的朋友劝我弃疗,有的朋友说直接读英...
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...
评分当我们在评价杜赞奇的《从民族国家拯救历史》之前必须首先正视这样一个问题,这本著作虽然在所谓“复线历史观”的提出上表现出了独创性,但在实际的论点论述中却大都承袭了前人。 这个前人,指的是已故日本汉学家沟口雄三80年代所著的《作为方法的中国》(但悲情的是,本书的...
很久以前读不懂的书 现在看起来似乎很明白。。。到底是我老了 还是变聪明了。。。
评分浏览了一下,并未读完。下次要重温
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!
评分没什么感觉 lol
