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.
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.
当我们在评价杜赞奇的《从民族国家拯救历史》之前必须首先正视这样一个问题,这本著作虽然在所谓“复线历史观”的提出上表现出了独创性,但在实际的论点论述中却大都承袭了前人。 这个前人,指的是已故日本汉学家沟口雄三80年代所著的《作为方法的中国》(但悲情的是,本书的...
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...

评分杜赞奇(Prasenjit Duara )是个有趣的汉学家。他与其他汉学家的不同点在于身份——与大多数出身欧美或日本的汉学家不同,他来自与中国近邻,同样被视作东方文化的代表而又截然不同的印度。 印度之于中国,关系历史悠久而又深远,但两种异质文化的互相打量却又往往意味深长。然...
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...

评分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
