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.
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
評分很喜歡。一本好書不需要麵麵俱到,我喜歡這種視野廣闊,思維發散,理論功底深厚的書。
評分作者寫作水平很高,理論框架的建立和錶達都很好,但是研究的確是有硬傷,福柯的理論並不能直接照搬,晚清人口調查的學術起源、學者和政府、社會改革者的關係以及具體學術研究的分析都太過粗淺甚至沒有涉及,從導論看到具體的章節的確是讓人失望的。
評分夾生飯過瞭一遍,更多當成近代史名詞翻譯詞典瞭 要是沒有這本書,焦徽的毛概課該怎麼活
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。
