British Naturalists in Qing China pdf epub mobi txt 電子書 下載 2025
In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, Western scientific interest in China focused primarily on natural history. Prominent scholars in Europe as well as Westerners in China, including missionaries, merchants, consular officers, and visiting plant hunters, eagerly investigated the flora and fauna of China. Yet despite the importance and extent of this scientific activity, it has been entirely neglected by historians of science.
This book is the first comprehensive study on this topic. In a series of vivid chapters, Fa-ti Fan examines the research of British naturalists in China in relation to the history of natural history, of empire, and of Sino-Western relations. The author gives a panoramic view of how the British naturalists and the Chinese explored, studied, and represented China’s natural world in the social and cultural environment of Qing China.
Using the example of British naturalists in China, the author argues for reinterpreting the history of natural history, by including neglected historical actors, intellectual traditions, and cultural practices. His approach moves beyond viewing the history of science and empire within European history and considers the exchange of ideas, aesthetic tastes, material culture, and plants and animals in local and global contexts. This compelling book provides an innovative framework for understanding the formation of scientific practice and knowledge in cultural encounters.
Fa-ti Fan is Assistant Professor of History at the State University of New York at Binghamton.
it tells us exactly what its title says: no more, no less.
評分Excellent book!
評分相當細緻
評分很有趣的視野,本來想做論文的,結果先擱置瞭
評分關於native agency和最後一章fieldwork 的討論很漂亮。理論的使用似乎有點過瞭?另外,學力和閱讀能力所限,我還是不太清楚,對近代中國“的”科學發展而言,對聯繫和比較英帝國科學在其他殖民地的發展經驗而言,這段英國博物學者在華的遭遇故事,是不是能提供更多的啟示?
得到听书: 英国博物学家最开始来到中国,是因为他们对神秘的东方花卉园艺充满了憧憬,他们渴望了解未知的东方,也希望在中国掌握新的园林技术。英国博物学家在中国的各种工作,离不开中国人的参与和帮助,我们甚至可以说,当时博物学取得的很多科学成就是双方合作取得的。英国...

評分□江晓原 ■ 刘 兵 □此书首先引起我注意的,是开头提出的“科学帝国主义”(scientific imperialism)观念。作者使用这个观念,指的是“科学与帝国殖民事业两者的共生关系,说明科学发展与帝国想象的扩张,在某些情况下构成了一个相互作用的反馈回圈”。这种弯弯绕的...
