明史领域的历史书写研究

Study on the Historical Writing of Ming Dynasty

历史书写研究作为一种范式,是近年来史学研究的前沿问题之一。它的内涵是分析史料形成的过程并探究其背后的深层历史问题,旨趣在于重构某一历史被书写当时的具体语境、实现史料的再阐释与历史图景的再构建。根据这一研究范式的内涵和旨趣,梳理明史领域的相关研究成果,可知明史领域的历史书写研究取得不少成就,甚至在某些方面亦可与魏晋南北朝史的类似研究比肩;同时,也存在诸多不足。除了继续从事一些个案研究,从学理层面思考历史书写研究的理论价值、方法论意义,与其他断代特别是魏晋南朝史学者展开对话,共同推进历史书写研究的继续深化,无疑是今后的努力方向。
