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.
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.
花了一个多星期的时间才把美籍印度裔历史学家杜赞奇的《从民族国家拯救历史:民族主义话语与中国现代史研究》看完,期间有很多事干扰了对这本书的阅读,当然此书中难懂的话语也是阅读如此缓慢的原因之一。杜赞奇是研究中国问题的专家,他的另外一本名著是《文化、权力与国...
评分我不知道这到底是怎么一回事情,但我发现了这件滑稽的事。 以下是国内出版杜赞奇的Rescuing History from the Nation一书的三个版本。 江苏人民出版社2009年的版本除了封面换了之外,排版与2008版本无任何不同。所以此处就只说03版和08版的比较问题。 针对《从民族国家拯救历史...
评分20世纪60年代以来,受西方学术界“语言学转向”(linguistic turn)的影响,历史学家认识到:“历史叙述的功能像其它的意识形态论述一样,并不是透明地、而是具有道德和政治上的意味来展示现实的”,因而,“把叙述学的理论视角应用于我们所探求的关于过去的叙述实践中”就非常...

评分。 ́︿ ̀。) 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...
杜先生,能把书写个稍微通俗点吗?
评分可以看到十年后东亚领域很多作品的影子,以及不知是好久没读书速度退化了,还是老爷子写的太高深,读了一个礼拜才读完。。。估计是退化了T^T
评分很久以前读不懂的书 现在看起来似乎很明白。。。到底是我老了 还是变聪明了。。。

评分所谓的bifurcate history好像只是个新瓶旧酒罢了,好的是对梁启超,康有为,汪精卫思想的解读,真是refreshing,我原来学了这么久,对自己国家的历史知道得那么少。。。。
