“建筑”作为公共话语的出现:一个词语的断代史

A Conceptual History of Architecture in Chinese Public Discourse around the Turn of the Twentieth Century

回顾从19世纪末到20世纪初在中国近代社会观念和文教制度剧变的特定背景下,"建筑"这个词语在现代汉语以及社会大众观念话语中的历史性出现的过程,并试图多角度全方位地阐明这一历史性的事件是"如何可能"的。以词语或概念为建筑史研究的对象,是希望以词为镜,折射出宏观的社会观念史在特定历史时刻的变迁。

This paper examines the three decades between the late nineteenth century and the 1930s in light of the epistemological rupture of social knowledge. By tracing the conceptual history of “architecture” as a new word, a new discipline and a new discourse, this paper attempts to restore how the new concept emerged in the historical context.
