Tong Lam is Associate Professor of History at the University of Toronto.
In this path-breaking book, Tong Lam examines the emergence of the “culture of fact” in modern China, showing how elites and intellectuals sought to transform the dynastic empire into a nation-state, thereby ensuring its survival. Lam argues that an epistemological break away from traditional modes of understanding the observable world began around the turn of the twentieth century. Tracing the Neo-Confucian school of evidentiary research and the modern departure from it, Lam shows how, through the rise of the social survey, “the fact” became a basic conceptual medium and source of truth. In focusing on China’s social survey movement, A Passion for Facts analyzes how information generated by a range of research practices—census, sociological investigation, and ethnography—was mobilized by competing political factions to imagine, manage, and remake the nation.

為什麼現在曆史書都寫的那麼薄啊,感覺上肉不夠多,而且又不都是瘦肉。。。
评分社會科學史挺有意思的,希望以後能讀讀共産黨的社會調查運動
评分need to rethink methodology
评分民族主義情感、民族國傢構建脈絡中的社會調查在中國的引進和本土化。主要集中在人口普查和治理術,還有少數民族、農民等social category的構建,社會調查同時作為社會管理/運動的必要部分。好些地方寫得都不夠深入,有以論代史傾嚮。江振勇的長書評擊中一些要害。
评分非常完整的以年代為綫索的總結
