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(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...
評分从鸦片战争到四六宪法——地方自治在中国的一百年 序言一:宪政与历史主义 Question1:人类历史的发展有一个确定的方向吗?台湾的宪政实践是历史的偶然吗?大陆的宪政选择将是历史的必然吗? 历史是进步的:神话时代——英雄时代——平民时代;奴隶时代——封建时代——资本主...
評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...
評分分享提纲: 1.近现代中国的救亡图强与国家政治话语的变迁:落后就要挨打——洋务运动——维新变法——反满革命——现代民族国家——之于工具理性的民主——联省自治——中央集权的大一统国家 2.对安德森《想象的共同体》一书的结论反思:中国历史与现实语境下的民族主义——...
評分犹记得阅读《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”...
瀏覽瞭一下,並未讀完。下次要重溫
评分沒有民族主義這條線作串聯,中國近代史就是一堆碎片。Rescue history from the nation? Rescue你個大頭鬼。從你手裡rescue還差不多。
评分可謂反曆史的曆史,復綫多重解構史挑戰單綫進步同一史背後,乘文化批評和解構潮流將角力場轉到言說、文化與史哲學,蠶食美中曆史界工作方法與成果:時間綫性消失,曆史以不同言語麵貌在過去現在未來間跳躍;民族國傢作為政治實體與黑格爾曆史目的(絕對精神)論終點消散,群體認同和文化邊界軟化,揭示宏大目的自我實現而消除邊緣、整閤破碎懷舊、融閤斷裂話語的過程;政治經濟文化項目讓位於曆史言說寫作話語,為當下和目的論未來而改造過去;不止解構我者,更揭示我者中的他者;史料用途和真實優先性讓位於寫作者本人闡釋批評意圖。總要扯上印度,然印度被完全殖民而産生的懷舊反現代反反思殖民進而批評現代化思潮,終究與中國藉用傳統追求集體解放進步之現代化項目相依異。對黑格爾批評本可引至絕對精神/國傢與行動者關係。是有用鯰魚,然僅止於此?
评分一本以後得進書單的書。Part 1啓發非常大,Part 2碰的都是大問題。【M: 20 Modernity--History (Mode)--Nation-State (Subject/Agency)】
评分翻譯的完全齣綫,這套書目終於開啓瞭第一本,有點懷疑自己還能看幾本?欲哭無淚!
