In Qing Colonial Enterprise, Laura Hostetler shows how Qing China (1636-1911) used cartography and ethnography to pursue its imperial ambitions. She argues that far from being on the periphery of developments in the early modern period, Qing China both participated in and helped shape the new emphasis on empirical scientific knowledge that was simultaneously transforming Europe--and its colonial empires--at the time.
Although mapping in China is almost as old as Chinese civilization itself, the Qing insistence on accurate, to-scale maps of their territory was a new response to the difficulties of administering a vast and growing empire. Likewise, direct observation became increasingly important to Qing ethnographic writings, such as the illustrated manuscripts known as "Miao albums" (from which twenty color paintings are reproduced in this book). These were intended to educate Qing officials about various non-Han peoples so that they could govern these groups more effectively.Hostetler's groundbreaking account will interest anyone studying the history of the early modern period and colonialism.
本書最有意思的是導論,作者把清朝政府與同時代歐洲的殖民帝國相提並論,她期期要告訴我們,從近代早期(early modern)觀點來看,中國與歐洲的差異沒那麼大。我們老用近代歐洲的標準,去衡量前近代的中國,才是有問題的。特別是在本書的兩個主題:地圖學與民族誌的發展上,我...

评分 评分可能本科的时候读这个瞎糊弄一下还好了,现在研究生的课程里和大师们的作品放在一起读就很???研究确实详尽,但观点很单薄。中西方的比较也很superficial。
评分很水的一本书。导论提到早期现代的再现变化(例如,制图术的图像、文本描述和人物的淡出等),集中体现帝国时空观念的转变,这一段非常重要,但作者写得比较凌乱,掺杂的东西太多,没有进一步深挖。另外注意作者与Siam Mapped(《图绘暹罗》)的一点点对话。
评分本来还觉得比较新鲜,越看越无感

评分不至于,何罗娜在资料收集方面基本上空前绝后,国内的苗图研究无一不受惠于何罗娜扎扎实实的前期工作。有这个自信拍胸脯说不的,只有早先就发现了民国人类学家刘咸以及意大利汉学家白佐良之先前研究的社科院民族所,《民族史译文集》是很不错的,很系统。
