In Qing Colonial Enterprise, Laura Hostetler shows how Qing China (1636-1911) used cartography and ethnography to pursue its imperial ambitions. She argues that far from being on the periphery of developments in the early modern period, Qing China both participated in and helped shape the new emphasis on empirical scientific knowledge that was simultaneously transforming Europe--and its colonial empires--at the time.
Although mapping in China is almost as old as Chinese civilization itself, the Qing insistence on accurate, to-scale maps of their territory was a new response to the difficulties of administering a vast and growing empire. Likewise, direct observation became increasingly important to Qing ethnographic writings, such as the illustrated manuscripts known as "Miao albums" (from which twenty color paintings are reproduced in this book). These were intended to educate Qing officials about various non-Han peoples so that they could govern these groups more effectively.Hostetler's groundbreaking account will interest anyone studying the history of the early modern period and colonialism.
本書最有意思的是導論,作者把清朝政府與同時代歐洲的殖民帝國相提並論,她期期要告訴我們,從近代早期(early modern)觀點來看,中國與歐洲的差異沒那麼大。我們老用近代歐洲的標準,去衡量前近代的中國,才是有問題的。特別是在本書的兩個主題:地圖學與民族誌的發展上,我...
評分 評分不至於,何羅娜在資料收集方麵基本上空前絕後,國內的苗圖研究無一不受惠於何羅娜紮紮實實的前期工作。有這個自信拍胸脯說不的,隻有早先就發現瞭民國人類學傢劉鹹以及意大利漢學傢白佐良之先前研究的社科院民族所,《民族史譯文集》是很不錯的,很係統。
评分真的是非常unimpressed...ethnography和cartography就算瞭,重點是老混淆和偷換概念:非要走新清史套路分開講滿清和漢人、族群差異化,就不要時而Qing時而Han的又不解釋關係啊,到底是誰殖民? 史料證據引用我也是服瞭法國無名氏也能引用……接受不能ugh
评分本來還覺得比較新鮮,越看越無感
评分可能本科的時候讀這個瞎糊弄一下還好瞭,現在研究生的課程裏和大師們的作品放在一起讀就很???研究確實詳盡,但觀點很單薄。中西方的比較也很superficial。
评分這是漢學傢河羅娜的博士論文(導師是韓書瑞Susan Naquin,以及梅維恒Mair等人)。主題背景就是康乾時代的清王朝對於帝國擴展時代的“被殖民地區”的少數民族的民族記錄與地圖描繪。顯然,這是繞瞭好幾個學術圈子的話題:其一,這一視角直接把清朝也納入到整個世界的現代化進程中去,而不是簡單地把清中國當成一個被動的犧牲品;其二,這一視角直接詢問瞭為何民族國傢的崛起後,纔有瞭現代地圖。那些前現代的地圖,為何總會和地誌尤其是民族描繪聯係在一起;其三,這本書的閱讀重心在“苗圖”。作者跑瞭差不多50多個國傢的博物館和檔案館,查閱瞭大量的有關苗族的清代描述。講述瞭一種不同於“中國本土視角”也不同於傳統漢學視角的“地圖+民族誌”裏的“殖民主義”。。。。。。。。而此類的文化比較,也很容易在此類字眼上形成爭議。第3章寫得較弱。
