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.
看完这本书已经有一段时间,但是前几天翻出笔记来检索时发现对这本书的框架结构已经生疏得很,张嘴竟然说不出作者到底想表达什么观点,因此决定花点时间,把原先一些孤立的观点材料总结出一个有连贯性的主题,算做一个复习。 作者开篇即提出,在民族主义的意识形态下...
评分历史不再纯粹地关心过去究竟发生了什么。所谓真实历史的问题,本身遭到了质疑和解构。存在于叙述象征之中的历史,而不是所谓的过去存在之全部,才能被把握被想象。于是决定历史如何呈现的不仅仅是过去,还有现在。杜赞奇提出“复线的历史”(bifurcated history),来反思...
评分分享提纲: 1.近现代中国的救亡图强与国家政治话语的变迁:落后就要挨打——洋务运动——维新变法——反满革命——现代民族国家——之于工具理性的民主——联省自治——中央集权的大一统国家 2.对安德森《想象的共同体》一书的结论反思:中国历史与现实语境下的民族主义——...
评分犹记得阅读《文化权力与国家》时,常常有走在沙滩俯拾珠贝的惊喜感,或许世殊人异,专属少年的“curiosity”也渐渐消磨。所以读“杜赞奇继《文》之后的又一力作”时,对“复线的历史”总也燃不起兴奋感了。 也或许是因为这个过于“弥散”的主题,确实无法像诸如“赢利型经纪”...
评分读完杜赞奇的《从民族国家拯救历史》花了将近一个月的时间,主要是中间停了大半个月,不忍卒读。究其原因就在于翻译之后的书稿语言、逻辑增加或隐藏了很多细节,导致对句子的完整理解、文章段落的逻辑连贯出现了困难,尤其是头两章。所以有的朋友劝我弃疗,有的朋友说直接读英...
可以看到十年后东亚领域很多作品的影子,以及不知是好久没读书速度退化了,还是老爷子写的太高深,读了一个礼拜才读完。。。估计是退化了T^T
评分沒有民族主義這條線作串聯,中國近代史就是一堆碎片。Rescue history from the nation? Rescue你個大頭鬼。從你手裡rescue還差不多。

评分中间几章很不错,比如反满的民族主义如何把秘密会社和革命党人联结起来,以及辛亥革命后短暂的联省自治、知识分子们关于联邦体制的激辩。但是没理解全书的general thesis…
评分高山仰止。
