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.
。 ́︿ ̀。) 最近赶时间想从中译本走速读路线,然后发现骄傲的译者们响亮地打了我一个礼拜的耳光。开始考虑要不要对照英译本做纠错,然后复仇(然而浪费生命)……挑战我忍耐的限度就是《从民族国家拯救历史》这本书。 英文著作读起来非常之棒!连杜赞奇的注释好赞...
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...
浏览了一下,并未读完。下次要重温
评分谁有英文版的pdf?谢谢!
评分可谓反历史的历史,复线多重解构史挑战单线进步同一史背后,乘文化批评和解构潮流将角力场转到言说、文化与史哲学,蚕食美中历史界工作方法与成果:时间线性消失,历史以不同言语面貌在过去现在未来间跳跃;民族国家作为政治实体与黑格尔历史目的(绝对精神)论终点消散,群体认同和文化边界软化,揭示宏大目的自我实现而消除边缘、整合破碎怀旧、融合断裂话语的过程;政治经济文化项目让位于历史言说写作话语,为当下和目的论未来而改造过去;不止解构我者,更揭示我者中的他者;史料用途和真实优先性让位于写作者本人阐释批评意图。总要扯上印度,然印度被完全殖民而产生的怀旧反现代反反思殖民进而批评现代化思潮,终究与中国借用传统追求集体解放进步之现代化项目相依异。对黑格尔批评本可引至绝对精神/国家与行动者关系。是有用鲶鱼,然仅止于此?
评分smart and important, but not most helpful to me now. it's ironic... two years ago I couldn't even get beyond chapter 1, and now it becomes so familiar that makes me want to "bifurcate" from him.
评分高山仰止。
