In this path-breaking book, Tong Lam examines the emergence of the “culture of fact” in modern China, showing how elites and intellectuals sought to transform the dynastic empire into a nation-state, thereby ensuring its survival. Lam argues that an epistemological break away from traditional modes of understanding the observable world began around the turn of the twentieth century. Tracing the Neo-Confucian school of evidentiary research and the modern departure from it, Lam shows how, through the rise of the social survey, “the fact” became a basic conceptual medium and source of truth. In focusing on China’s social survey movement, A Passion for Facts analyzes how information generated by a range of research practices—census, sociological investigation, and ethnography—was mobilized by competing political factions to imagine, manage, and remake the nation.
Tong Lam is Associate Professor of History at the University of Toronto.
前麵很吸引人,後麵。。
評分非常喜歡,藉瞭圖書館的書不捨得還迴去。。從「社會調查」看政治權力的運籌帷幄以及modern nation state怎麼在個人的身份認同的構建中發揮作用,以晚清和民國的人口普查爲例,算是清晰、完整。特別喜歡涉及到少數民族的方麵,以及他是一位歷史學教授,同時還是是visual artist(星星眼)
評分重點在第二、三章。對此書的討論,僅糾纏於方法論似乎意義不大。
評分社會科學史挺有意思的,希望以後能讀讀共産黨的社會調查運動
評分為什麼現在曆史書都寫的那麼薄啊,感覺上肉不夠多,而且又不都是瘦肉。。。
