20世纪80年代以来的西方大学史研究——基于《大学史》杂志的分析

Research on the History of Western Universities since 1980s——Based on the Analyses in History of Universities

本文通过对《大学史》杂志1981-2005年所刊发论文的分析,对20世纪80年代以来的西方大学史研究进行了学术史考察。研究发现:当前的西方大学史研究主题的重心有所转移,从对"大学与知识"关系的强调转向了对"大学与社会"关系的重视,且呈现出集中和分散并存的趋势;研究方法日趋多样,方法意识有所增强,注重运用历史计量、案例研究、集体传记、比较研究等新式方法;研究史料也日益丰富,实物史料和口述史料的应用逐渐增多。

Through the analyses of the articles published in History of Universities, this paper reveals that the research on the history of universities in the West has made great progress since 1980s. The themes have been broadened and the emphasis transferred over the time. The methods used become more diverse and the historical materials collected are much richer.
