20世纪三四十年代的中国边疆:知识分子爱国情怀与学术研究的共同场域

The Chinese Frontier during 1930s and 1940s: the Common Field of Chinese Intellectuals' Patriotic Feelings and their Academic Research

20世纪三四十年代,日本的侵略使中国面临近代以来最为严重的存亡危机,民族主义高涨。受此影响,中日两国在学术上也呈对抗之势,表现在从"九.一八"至抗战前,以傅斯年、顾颉刚为代表的中国大批知识分子转而从事边疆问题学术研究,以应对日本学者的"中国边疆史地"研究,以期唤醒国人、政府的边疆意识和救国责任。抗战期间,东部大批高校、研究机构及知识分子等的西迁,使中国边疆不仅成为知识分子抒发爱国情怀的场域,也成为他们运用西方社会科学理论与方法构建本土化的边疆学术研究的场域。

During the 1930s and 1940s, China faced the most threat of its survival and a serious internal crisis because of the Japanese invasion. In academic, the two countries were in a potential confrontation. From ＂9.18＂ 1931, to the Anti-Japanese War, a large number of intellectuals, such as Fu Sinian and Gu Jiegang as representatives, were engaged in Chinese frontier re- search designed to refute Japanese scholar＇s ＂China＇s borderland history and geography studies＂ , in an effort to stir up the Chinese people and government＇s national border consciousness and stimulate their responsibility of saving the nation from foreign invasion. During the war of resistance, a large number of eastern universities, research institutions and intellectuals were moved westward. Discussion of the Chinese frontier by intellectuals became a common field of intellectuals which not only manifested their patriotic feelings, hut also used western social science theories and methods to develop a concept of the Chinese localization frontier in the field of academic research.
