日本学界的中国近代政治史研究刍议(2010-2015)

Research Trends of Modern China's Political History in Japan's Academic Circles(2010—2015)

近年来,日本史学界的中国史研究与过往略有不同,学术政治化的倾向日益显著,呈现出一定程度的右倾化趋势。2010—2015年的五年间,日本史学界对中国近代政治史(1840—1919年)的研究虽然整体呈现出"后继无人"的乏力状态,但围绕历史事件与历史人物的重新诠释,譬如孙中山再点评、鸦片战争新视角等的相关讨论仍为数不少,是该阶段不多的热点之一。此外,涉及中国近代历史分期的考察,也有不少学者加以关注,于国内学界不无裨益,值得我们进一步借鉴吸收。

With China's Gross Domestic Product surpassing Japan's in 2010, Chinese history studies in Japan's historian circle has become slightly different from what it used to be. Generally speaking, in the five years from 2010 to 2015, there seemed to be a lack of momentum among Japan's historians to conduct modem Chinese political history (1840-1919) studies, topics centered on historic events and historical figures such as recomment on Sun Yat-sen and new perspectives of the Opium War remain widely discussed. Besides, studies of different periods of Chinese modern history are getting attention as well, which is also beneficial to China's academic circle.
