具体描述
In the late eighteenth century two expansive Eurasian empires met formally for the first time--the Manchu or Qing dynasty of China and the maritime empire of Great Britain. The occasion was the mission of Lord Macartney, sent by the British crown and sponsored by the East India Company, to the court of the Qianlong emperor. "Cherishing Men from Afar" looks at the initial confrontation between these two empires from a historical perspective informed by the insights of contemporary postcolonial criticism and cultural studies.
The history of this encounter, like that of most colonial and imperial encounters, has traditionally been told from the Europeans' point of view. In this book, James L. Hevia consults Chinese sources--many previously untranslated--for a broader sense of what Qing court officials understood; and considers these documents in light of a sophisticated anthropological understanding of Qing ritual processes and expectations. He also reexamines the more familiar British accounts in the context of recent critiques of orientalism and work on the development of the bourgeois subject. Hevia's reading of these sources reveals the logics of two discrete imperial formations, not so much impaired by the cultural misunderstandings that have historically been attributed to their meeting, but animated by differing ideas about constructing relations of sovereignty and power. His examination of Chinese and English-language scholarly treatments of this event, both historical and contemporary, sheds new light on the place of the Macartney mission in the dynamics of colonial and imperial encounters.

评分材料及其解读问题在吵架中被挖掘探讨得差不多了，列文森奖发给他想必也不是这些原因。上世纪九十年代中期正是包括史学理论在内“炫技”吃香的时候，放现在估计会和新清史对接地更紧密——我认为后现代史学的危险在本作中体现得淋漓尽致，那就是自觉不自觉地滑向相对主义：清朝没那么落后，英帝没那么文明，写作要力图避免价值和立场判断。没错，这些都很有道理，可是有什么卵用？历史学家可以不带价值判断，历史本身也可以？如果是这样，那它对一些国家也真是太不友好甚至到了残酷无情的地步
