British Naturalists in Qing China pdf epub mobi txt 電子書 下載 2025
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.
Fa-ti Fan is Assistant Professor of History at the State University of New York at Binghamton.

評分題目、論點、文字都不錯,但缺少中國這一邊的史料是硬傷,導緻很多可以深挖的“文化遭遇”隻能一筆帶過。
評分考察瞭英帝國博物學傢的在華活動——關注博物學傢們如何在中外機構、人員形成的網絡中尋找物種、製作記錄/標本、生産知識。博物學傢大多是業餘,其活動受商業利益(比如著名的茶葉大盜Fortune的故事)等動機驅使。好些章節基於殖民檔案/書寫的材料提供瞭細緻的曆史細節:廣州的齣口繪畫業中華人畫師和英國博物學傢閤作繪製物種圖錄(第二章)、19世紀在歐洲職業化的漢學同博物學的交涉(第四章)、田野工作中情感經驗和文化接觸(第五章)。

評分2011年11月13日上海《东方早报》文章 王洪波 提到“科学”二字,一般人首先想到的必定是物理、化学之类,“博物学”一词很难跳进脑海里。这准确反映了博物学已经衰落的现实。近年来一直有人为博物学鸣不平,刘华杰就是其中有代表性的一位。最近,由他主编的《好的归...
評分得到听书: 英国博物学家最开始来到中国,是因为他们对神秘的东方花卉园艺充满了憧憬,他们渴望了解未知的东方,也希望在中国掌握新的园林技术。英国博物学家在中国的各种工作,离不开中国人的参与和帮助,我们甚至可以说,当时博物学取得的很多科学成就是双方合作取得的。英国...
