学术“中心”与“边缘”互动中的典范融合:四川大学历史学科的发展(1924—1949)

The Mergence of Paradigms in Interaction between Academic "Center" and "Periphery": the Development of the Discipline of History in Sichuan University

近代史学如何建立“途辙”,近10年来已成为学术热点。以一学术机构为描述单位,兼顾人事、制度诸因素,或是动态把握学术史发展脉络的一条方便途径。就此而言,四川大学历史学科的发展可以算是一个极具启发性的事例。由于地处“僻远”,川大长期以来处在中国高等教育的边缘地带,虽早有史学系的设置,就在国内的影响看来,却无疑处在“边缘”。30年代中期起,川大史学系逐渐成为国内历史学研究的重镇。但是,这一过程并不仅是“主流”典范向学术“边缘”的扩散,更是不同学术风格的融会。

In the past 10 years, the making of modern historiography has been a central issue in the academic circle. Probably, simultaneously attending to factors such as personnel matters and institution regarding an academic organization as a description unit is a convenient way for dynamically grasping the thread of academic history. As for this, the development of the discipline of history in Sichuan University is an enlightening case. Due to the ＂remote＂ geographical position, Siehuan University was on the border of higher education in China over a long period of time; although it set up history department, its academic style was very different from that of the academic mainstream. In the mid -1930s and especially after the end of the Anti-Japanese War, history discipline in Sichuan University gradually entered the ＂center＂ and became a strategic post in domestic study on historiography. However, this process is not only the diffusion of the ＂mainstream＂ paradigm towards the academic ＂ border＂, but also the mergence of the different academic styles.
