论互联网时代的历史学

Historiography in the Internet Times

互联网时代的历史学,正在发生一场深刻的变革。当代史学已经呈现出三种清晰可见的史学研究形态,即传统史学研究形态,新史学研究形态,扭曲的史学研究形态。互联网时代的史学变革,最主要的表现是:由事实性史学向思想性史学转变,由知识性史学向问题性史学转变,历史贯通性研究日益发展。这场史学变革,要求史学研究工作者比以往任何时候都要更加重视历史学专业基础训练;比以往任何时候都更加重视提升自己的史学理论水平;重视关键词合理设置的极端重要性;重视选题问题,把提出问题看作是实现自身价值的最重要的标志。新史学时代对史学基础的重视,对提升理论水平的要求,对问题意识极端重要性的强调,将会使未来的史学更深刻,更诱人,更繁荣!

Three obvious historiographical forms including traditional historical study, new historical study and distorted historical study appear in current historical studies. Historical study of Internet times demonstrates transformations from factual historical study to ideological historical study, from historical study on basis of knowledge to question-oriented historical study, shows increasing comprehensiveness. This kind of change in historical study demands historians pay more than ever attention to basic training on historian profession, to improvement in historical theory, to the importance of appropriately using key words, and to subject selection, regarding question-raising as the mark confirming his worth. The above-mentioned changes must lead to a more profound, attracting and prosperous future for historical study.
