刘禾的书研究的是符号在跨语言的过程中发生变化,以观察帝国的碰撞,具体而言是近代中西方的冲突历史。现在我主要读了第一、二、三章。 刘禾说这本书是她在翻阅大量鸦片战争时期的外交公文时获得的灵感。在第二三章中,她选择了一个汉字中的“夷”作为论点,其实用她的方法论,...
评分在中国古代文书典籍中,华夷这个词具有丰富的含义。我对此做了一定的总结,如下: 1. 政治地理概念。出自《周礼》职方氏,王畿之外分九服,夷服去王国七千里。华的含义就是中央行政区。这不单单是简单的地理概念,而是政治地理概念。华就是中央政权所在地。中国古代按照...
评分[按:由于写作业的关系,把这本书重新看了一遍。不得不承认,这本书在很大程度上是一本不完整的书,书中零散着很多小处洞见,但谈不上大的架构,这和作者导言里表现的雄心壮志,相去甚远。如果有谁想否认这一点,我希望他可以尝试为本书第五章写一个概述,那么他就会发现,要总...
评分 评分语词的冲突绝非小事,它凝聚和反映的是两个帝国之间的生死斗争,一边是日趋衰落的大清国,另一边是蒸蒸日上的大英帝国。谁拥有对“夷”这个汉字的最后的诠释权,谁就可以踌躇满志地预言这个国家的未来。 ——刘禾 语言文字只是黑暗世界的一盏灯,产生实际塑造作用的大部...

What is lost in translation may be a war, a world, a way of life. A unique look into the nineteenth-century clash of empires from both sides of the earthshaking encounter, this book reveals the connections between international law, modern warfare, and comparative grammar--and their influence on the shaping of the modern world in Eastern and Western terms.
The Clash of Empires brings to light the cultural legacy of sovereign thinking that emerged in the course of the violent meetings between the British Empire and the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911). Lydia Liu demonstrates how the collision of imperial will and competing interests, rather than the civilizational attributes of existing nations and cultures, led to the invention of "China," "the East," "the West," and the modern notion of "the world" in recent history. Drawing on her archival research and comparative analyses of English--and Chinese--language texts, as well as their respective translations, she explores how the rhetoric of barbarity and civilization, friend and enemy, and discourses on sovereign rights, injury, and dignity were a central part of British imperial warfare. Exposing the military and philological--and almost always translingual--nature of the clash of empires, this book provides a startlingly new interpretation of modern imperial history.
Many good insights, not sure if the jargons are necessary though.
评分有些点真的很厉害啊。非常喜欢The Secret of Her Greatness那一章。
