区域史的范式

The Paradigm of Regional History

"地方志""地方史""区域史"三种以"空间"划分描述对象的史学类型均以特定"区域"来限制史料获取、描述对象,这是其共同之处。"地方志"专注于政区沿革、人口增减、地方风俗的记载,以"存志""观风俗""资政"为目标;"地方史"致力于整体史关照下的"地方史"描述,即"整体史"的地方化。两者都带有很强的官方色彩。"区域史"是以有特定联系的"区域"为研究对象,坚持长时段理论,注重总体史考察,应用发生学方法,以发掘"地方性知识"为主要目标的史学范式。三种史学类型之间有着密切关系,又有明显区别。

"Local record" "local history" and "regional history" all use specific "regions" to restrict the acquisition and description of historical materials. Local records focus on the records of evolution of administrative area,population increase and decrease and local customs records, aiming at "keeping records" "observing customs" "supervising". The local history is devoted to the description of the local history under the care of the whole history, that is, localization of whole history. Both are highly official. "Regional history" is a historical paradigm that takes "region" with specific connections as the research object, adheres to the long-term theory, pays attention to the overall historical investigation, applies the genetic method, and takes the exploration of "local knowledge" as the main object. There are close relations and obvious differences among the three types of historiography.
