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.

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
评分作者寫作水平很高,理論框架的建立和錶達都很好,但是研究的確是有硬傷,福柯的理論並不能直接照搬,晚清人口調查的學術起源、學者和政府、社會改革者的關係以及具體學術研究的分析都太過粗淺甚至沒有涉及,從導論看到具體的章節的確是讓人失望的。
评分我什麼時候能寫齣這樣的曆史。最近讀的又一本曆史人類學好作品。中國史研究正在華麗麗的繁榮起來啊,北美學術果然強大。
评分常讀常新
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。
