近代中国的"亚洲主义"话语

"Asianism" Discourse in Contemporary China

在近代中日关系的历史演变过程中,"亚洲主义"(Asianism)无疑占有一席之地。近代中国人对日本"亚洲主义"的反应表明,中国近代民族-国家建设的思想凭依的不单纯是民族、领土、主权等民族主义或国民主义的意识形态,还有种族、文明、地域、道德(公理、王道)等超民族主义的意识形态。民族主义并不是缔造近代国家的唯一的意识形态要素。认清这一点,有助于我们从民族主义的"想像"(fiction)和"本原"(origin)两个维度重新审视在帝国主义时代中国的近代是怎样形成的这一问题。文章在继承了众多先行研究的基础上,将重点考察近代中国语境里的亚洲主义话语,试图对亚洲主义与中国的近代性的关系作一概观。

During the evolution of Sino - Japanese relations in modern times, 'Asianism' undoubtedly has occupied an important position. Contemporary Chinese responses to the Japanese 'Asianism' have clearly indicated that evidence of thoughts of construction of the Chinese nation or of the Chinese state in contemporary China can be obtained not merely from the national ideology with regard to the saving of the Chinese nation, the safeguarding of the Chinese territory and sovereignty, but also from such extra- ideological factors as those related to the race, civilization, region, virtues, generally acknowledged truths and benevolent government. Nationalism is not the only ideological factor that helps found a modern nation. A good understanding of this point contributes to our re- examination of how modern times in China took shape in the imperialist epoch from the two dimensions of both the fiction and origin of nationalism. Based on reference to plenty of previous research related to the topic, this paper mainly investigates Asianism discourse amid the contemporary Chinese context in an attempt to make a survey of the relationship between Asianism and modernity in China
