Lydia H. Liu is Helmut F. Stern Professor of Chinese Studies at the University of Michigan.
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.
[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 评分这本书的内容是关于“19世纪以来围绕主权想象的跨文化知识传统和话语政治”。与很多近代史研究的著作不同,它的关注点放在了语言等表意符号上的政治碰撞——“跨语际”的主权想象和冲突上面。 该书所着重分析的几个符号事件,如衍指符号“夷/i/barbarian”的创造、《新约全书...
评分中国近代史研究之所以是一门显学,那是由于古老的中国文明与西方文明首次碰撞的结果,古与今,新与旧,传统与现代,进步与落后,世界史上两个文明遭遇之后的所有可能性都在这里汇聚,自然能吸引众多研究者的兴趣。但稍微了解一下近些年近代史研究方面的著作就会发现,尽管近代...
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...
