几点说明: 1,中国中心观属动态观点,强调历史发展中对立事物之间相互作用/相互渗透的现象。 2,历史描绘的精细化使得“区分”的重要性得到彰显,而“综合”却被低估。 3,中国中心观在美国崛起事实上采用了“内部取向”的研究策略。 研究中国近代史时一改之前将西方作为主体...

评分「五十年代和六十年代美国史家解释鸦片战争(1839-1842)到义和团起义(1899-1900)这段历史时,在很大程度上借助了‘西方冲击’与‘中国回应’这两个概念。这一理论框架所依据的前提假设是:就19世纪的大部分情况而言,左右中国历史的最重要影响是与西方的对抗。这种提法又意...

Since its first publication, Paul A. Cohen's Discovering History in China has occupied a singular place in American China scholarship. Translated into three East Asian languages, the volume has become essential to the study of China from the early nineteenth century to today.
Cohen critiques the work of leading postwar scholars and is especially adamant about not reading China through the lens of Western history. To this end, he uncovers the strong ethnocentric bias pervading the three major conceptual frameworks of American scholarship of the 1950s and 1960s: the impact-response, modernization, and imperialism approaches. In place of these, Cohen favors a "China-centered" approach in which historians understand Chinese history on its own terms, paying close attention to Chinese historical trajectories and Chinese perceptions of their problems, rather than a set of expectations derived from Western history. In an important new introduction, Cohen reflects on his fifty-year career as a historian of China and discusses major recent trends in the field. Although some of these developments challenge a narrowly conceived China-centered approach, insofar as they enable more balanced comparisons between China and the West and recast the Chinese and their history in more human, less exotic terms, they powerfully affirm the central thrust of Cohen's work.
