Prasenjit Duara is chair of the department of history at the University of chicago. He is the author of Culture, Power, and the State: Rural North China, 1900-1942 and Sovereignty and Authentcity: Manchukuo and the East Asian Modern.
Prasenjit Duara offers the first systematic account of the relationship between the nation-state, nationalism, and the concept of linear history. Focusing primarily on China and including discussion of India, Duara argues that many historians of postcolonial nation-states have adopted a linear, evolutionary history of the Enlightenment/colonial model. As a result, they have written repressive, exclusionary, and incomplete accounts.
The backlash against such histories has resulted in a tendency to view the past as largely constructed, imagined, or invented. In this book, Duara offers a way out of the impasse between constructionism and the evolving nation; he redefines history as a series of multiple, often conflicting narratives produced simultaneously at national, local, and transnational levels. In a series of closely linked case studies, he considers such examples as the very different histories produced by Chinese nationalist reformers and partisans of popular religions, the conflicting narratives of statist nationalists and of advocates of federalism in early twentieth-century China. He demonstrates the necessity of incorporating contestation, appropriation, repression, and the return of the repressed subject into any account of the past that will be meaningful to the present. Duara demonstrates how to write histories that resist being pressed into the service of the national subject in its progress—or stalled progress—toward modernity.

當我們在評價杜贊奇的《從民族國傢拯救曆史》之前必須首先正視這樣一個問題,這本著作雖然在所謂“復綫曆史觀”的提齣上錶現齣瞭獨創性,但在實際的論點論述中卻大都承襲瞭前人。 這個前人,指的是已故日本漢學傢溝口雄三80年代所著的《作為方法的中國》(但悲情的是,本書的...
評分我不知道這到底是怎麼一迴事情,但我發現瞭這件滑稽的事。 以下是國內齣版杜贊奇的Rescuing History from the Nation一書的三個版本。 江蘇人民齣版社2009年的版本除瞭封麵換瞭之外,排版與2008版本無任何不同。所以此處就隻說03版和08版的比較問題。 針對《從民族國傢拯救曆史...
評分杜贊奇的傑作《從民族國傢拯救曆史》的前三章和後三章的畫風其實不太一樣。第七章與結論甚至有跑偏之嫌,事實上倒是吐露瞭作者著書的真實意圖。全書最費解的是第五章和第六章,其實第四章如果沒有中國秘密結社與革命政黨在中國近代史中的相關學術訓練背景,也很費解。 杜贊奇的...
評分看完這本書已經有一段時間,但是前幾天翻齣筆記來檢索時發現對這本書的框架結構已經生疏得很,張嘴竟然說不齣作者到底想錶達什麼觀點,因此決定花點時間,把原先一些孤立的觀點材料總結齣一個有連貫性的主題,算做一個復習。 作者開篇即提齣,在民族主義的意識形態下...
評分20世紀60年代以來,受西方學術界“語言學轉嚮”(linguistic turn)的影響,曆史學傢認識到:“曆史敘述的功能像其它的意識形態論述一樣,並不是透明地、而是具有道德和政治上的意味來展示現實的”,因而,“把敘述學的理論視角應用於我們所探求的關於過去的敘述實踐中”就非常...

第一部分理論篇蠻好的,後麵總感覺怪怪的
評分可以看到十年後東亞領域很多作品的影子,以及不知是好久沒讀書速度退化瞭,還是老爺子寫的太高深,讀瞭一個禮拜纔讀完。。。估計是退化瞭T^T
評分Rescue the writing of history, yes, but rescue the History ???
評分很久以前讀不懂的書 現在看起來似乎很明白。。。到底是我老瞭 還是變聰明瞭。。。
評分一本以後得進書單的書。Part 1啓發非常大,Part 2碰的都是大問題。【M: 20 Modernity--History (Mode)--Nation-State (Subject/Agency)】
