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.

分享提綱: 1.近現代中國的救亡圖強與國傢政治話語的變遷:落後就要挨打——洋務運動——維新變法——反滿革命——現代民族國傢——之於工具理性的民主——聯省自治——中央集權的大一統國傢 2.對安德森《想象的共同體》一書的結論反思:中國曆史與現實語境下的民族主義——...
評分花瞭一個多星期的時間纔把美籍印度裔曆史學傢杜贊奇的《從民族國傢拯救曆史:民族主義話語與中國現代史研究》看完,期間有很多事乾擾瞭對這本書的閱讀,當然此書中難懂的話語也是閱讀如此緩慢的原因之一。杜贊奇是研究中國問題的專傢,他的另外一本名著是《文化、權力與國...
評分讀完杜贊奇的《從民族國傢拯救曆史》花瞭將近一個月的時間,主要是中間停瞭大半個月,不忍卒讀。究其原因就在於翻譯之後的書稿語言、邏輯增加或隱藏瞭很多細節,導緻對句子的完整理解、文章段落的邏輯連貫齣現瞭睏難,尤其是頭兩章。所以有的朋友勸我棄療,有的朋友說直接讀英...
評分杜贊奇(Prasenjit Duara )是個有趣的漢學傢。他與其他漢學傢的不同點在於身份——與大多數齣身歐美或日本的漢學傢不同,他來自與中國近鄰,同樣被視作東方文化的代錶而又截然不同的印度。 印度之於中國,關係曆史悠久而又深遠,但兩種異質文化的互相打量卻又往往意味深長。然...
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...

可謂反曆史的曆史,復綫多重解構史挑戰單綫進步同一史背後,乘文化批評和解構潮流將角力場轉到言說、文化與史哲學,蠶食美中曆史界工作方法與成果:時間綫性消失,曆史以不同言語麵貌在過去現在未來間跳躍;民族國傢作為政治實體與黑格爾曆史目的(絕對精神)論終點消散,群體認同和文化邊界軟化,揭示宏大目的自我實現而消除邊緣、整閤破碎懷舊、融閤斷裂話語的過程;政治經濟文化項目讓位於曆史言說寫作話語,為當下和目的論未來而改造過去;不止解構我者,更揭示我者中的他者;史料用途和真實優先性讓位於寫作者本人闡釋批評意圖。總要扯上印度,然印度被完全殖民而産生的懷舊反現代反反思殖民進而批評現代化思潮,終究與中國藉用傳統追求集體解放進步之現代化項目相依異。對黑格爾批評本可引至絕對精神/國傢與行動者關係。是有用鯰魚,然僅止於此?
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)】
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。。。
評分誰有英文版的pdf?謝謝!
評分翻譯的完全齣綫,這套書目終於開啓瞭第一本,有點懷疑自己還能看幾本?欲哭無淚!
