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.
Lydia H. Liu is Helmut F. Stern Professor of Chinese Studies at the University of Michigan.
《怀柔远人》2.0理论升级版
评分有些点真的很厉害啊。非常喜欢The Secret of Her Greatness那一章。
评分为了引出所谓的亮点super sign,铺垫了不少语言学符号学的概念,其实直接说翻译引发的一场血案不就完了吗?不知道该怎么理解这本书,使用一个晦涩的理论来解读历史?还是用清英帝国碰撞来论证这套理论?另外不明白反复提到的sovereign thinking是什么意思,求科普
评分感谢!

在中国古代文书典籍中,华夷这个词具有丰富的含义。我对此做了一定的总结,如下: 1. 政治地理概念。出自《周礼》职方氏,王畿之外分九服,夷服去王国七千里。华的含义就是中央行政区。这不单单是简单的地理概念,而是政治地理概念。华就是中央政权所在地。中国古代按照...
评分 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...
