Writing, Publishing, and Reading Local Gazetteers in Imperial China, 1100-1700 pdf epub mobi txt 電子書 下載 2024
This book is the definitive study of imperial Chinese local gazetteers, one of the most important sources for premodern Chinese studies. Methodologically innovative, it represents a major contribution to the history of books, publishing, reading, and society.
By examining how gazetteers were read, Joseph R. Dennis illustrates their significance in local societies and national discourses. His analysis of how gazetteers were initiated and produced reconceptualizes the geography of imperial Chinese publishing. Whereas previous studies argued that publishing, and thus cultural and intellectual power, were concentrated in the southeast, Dennis shows that publishing and book ownership were widely dispersed throughout China and books were found even in isolated locales. Adding a dynamic element to our earlier understanding of the publishing industry, Dennis tracks the movements of manuscripts to printers and print labor to production sites. By reconstructing printer business zones, he demonstrates that publishers operated across long distances in trans-regional markets. He also creates the first substantial data set on publishing costs in early modern China—a foundational breakthrough in understanding the world of Chinese books. Dennis’s work reveals areas for future research on newly-identified regional publishing centers and the economics of book production.
Joseph R. Dennis is Associate Professor of History at the University of Wisconsin–Madison.
感覺像是用瞭一本書的規模,說瞭Peter K.Bol在一篇文章篇幅裏講清楚的東西……沒太看到齣彩的點~
評分雖略顯無趣,但包羅萬象,是一本非常紮實的作品。
評分如果沒有接觸過地方誌材料,這是一本很好的入門書。而對於常使用地方誌的學者來說,這本書則沒有太深入的觀點。翻翻裡麵的小個案是瞞有意思的。
評分第一部分寫得不錯;二三部分仍在Chartier的框架之內
評分作者收集材料的能力確實強,如果他可以找到這麼多關於閱讀地方誌的材料,我也一定能找到足夠多閱讀報紙的材料。
