Tong Lam is Associate Professor of History at the University of Toronto.
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.

看完想去讀讀太祖的東西瞭…(Tong Lam上課說話及其布置的reading頗為雲山霧罩……自己寫東西還是很清晰流暢哇????
评分好
评分重點在第二、三章。對此書的討論,僅糾纏於方法論似乎意義不大。
评分非常完整的以年代為綫索的總結
评分作者在處理有些材料的時候挺自我的,比如說甘博與熱衷“到民間去”的中國學者態度迥異,這一點真不知道他怎麼讀齣來的。雖然甘博說北京調查的中斷是因為張作霖占領北京,但是1928年馬上國民軍進駐北京,甘博要迴北京做調查並不難。而且,晏陽初在之前已經陪同甘博去過一次定縣看平教會,甘博自己也認為這是一個不幸帶來的幸運。更重要的是,甘博1927年後在北京的研究興趣已經轉嚮京郊農村,對他而言那裏更能反映社區問題。
