具体描述
In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, Western scientific interest in China focused primarily on natural history. Prominent scholars in Europe as well as Westerners in China, including missionaries, merchants, consular officers, and visiting plant hunters, eagerly investigated the flora and fauna of China. Yet despite the importance and extent of this scientific activity, it has been entirely neglected by historians of science.
This book is the first comprehensive study on this topic. In a series of vivid chapters, Fa-ti Fan examines the research of British naturalists in China in relation to the history of natural history, of empire, and of Sino-Western relations. The author gives a panoramic view of how the British naturalists and the Chinese explored, studied, and represented China’s natural world in the social and cultural environment of Qing China.
Using the example of British naturalists in China, the author argues for reinterpreting the history of natural history, by including neglected historical actors, intellectual traditions, and cultural practices. His approach moves beyond viewing the history of science and empire within European history and considers the exchange of ideas, aesthetic tastes, material culture, and plants and animals in local and global contexts. This compelling book provides an innovative framework for understanding the formation of scientific practice and knowledge in cultural encounters.
作者简介
Fa-ti Fan is Assistant Professor of History at the State University of New York at Binghamton.

评分□江晓原 ■ 刘 兵 □此书首先引起我注意的，是开头提出的“科学帝国主义”（scientific imperialism）观念。作者使用这个观念，指的是“科学与帝国殖民事业两者的共生关系，说明科学发展与帝国想象的扩张，在某些情况下构成了一个相互作用的反馈回圈”。这种弯弯绕的...

评分考察了英帝国博物学家的在华活动——关注博物学家们如何在中外机构、人员形成的网络中寻找物种、制作记录/标本、生产知识。博物学家大多是业余，其活动受商业利益（比如著名的茶叶大盗Fortune的故事）等动机驱使。好些章节基于殖民档案/书写的材料提供了细致的历史细节：广州的出口绘画业中华人画师和英国博物学家合作绘制物种图录（第二章）、19世纪在欧洲职业化的汉学同博物学的交涉（第四章）、田野工作中情感经验和文化接触（第五章）。
