历史书写及其文化合理性:唯物史观视野中的新文化史观探析

Historical Writing and Its Cultural Rationality: Discussion on New Cultural View of History from the Perspective of Materialist Conception of History

历史研究在上世纪经历着诸多理论的嬗变,近三十年来的文化转向尤为显著。新文化史观以文化作为核心范畴,消解着传统社会史研究的结构性话语,开发着之前较少涉及的领域(社会表象、心态、心理、日常生活、风俗民情等),同样也对唯物史观进行着理论的瓦解或重释。因此,文化要重新在历史唯物主义的经济社会结构中获得一种合理性和限制性的说明,并且要在马克思的实践性理论话语中找到关于文化转向的恰当理解,从而使新文化史研究在关于历史真相、规律和意义等问题上能够摆脱窠臼、刷新观念、创新主张。

Historical studies have undergone great theoretical changes over the past century with a remarkable cultural turn in recent 30 years.?With culture as the core category,new cultural view of history also disintegrates or reinterprets theoretically materialist conception of history by dissolving the structural discourse in studies of traditional social history and developing the fields that were less involved before(social appearance,mindset,mentality,daily life and folk customs).The article argues that culture should have a new reasonable and restrictive description in the economic and social structure of historical materialism and find a proper explanation on cultural turn in the discourse of Marx’s theory of practice so that studies of new cultural history can break away from the old stereotypes to have brand-new and innovative ideas on such issues as the truth,law and significance of history.
