全球-地方化的汉学--对“中国礼仪之争”研究的回顾与反思

The Global-Local Sinology: A Retrospection and Reflection on the Research in “The Chinese Rites Controversy”

经过20年的研究,"中国礼仪之争"突破了"民族-国家"的限制,确立了一种在世界范围内研究中国文化的历史观,在文化交流(多元文化、跨文化、比较文化)研究中的重要性确认无疑。由此启蒙进而获得"从世界看中国"的眼光,证明汉学研究的赞美异域,有其外部视野的合理与局限。东方民族的学者,只有带着自己进入同一个"文化比较"的环境,才能真正看清自己。从"中国礼仪之争"引申出来的对话理论引导我们摆脱萨义德"东方学"的后殖民主义与亨廷顿的"文明冲突论"的束缚,指引我们有可能往中间行走,然后在东西合并以后的整全论域中超越出来,建立一种把地方知识直接汇入全球体系的"全球-地方化的汉学"。

After the 20-year research in"The Chinese Rites Controversy", it has broken through the limitation of"nation-state"and has established a historical view of a worldwide study in Chinese culture, which is undoubtedly important in the study in cultural communication(multi-culture, cross-culture, and comparative culture). From this inspiration, we get the perspective of"rediscovering China from the world", which proves that the foreign voices of the praise of Sinological research has the reasonability and limitation of its external vision.Only by taking the oriental nations into the same context of"cultural comparison"can scholars of the oriental nations truly see what they are. The dialogue theory beyond"The Chinese Rites Controversy"guides us to get rid of the post-colonialism of Edward Said’s"Orientalism"and Samuel Huntington’s theory of"the clash of civilizations", leads us to probably take a moderate approach, and, beyond the discourse of holism after the combination of the East and the West, establishes a"global-local"Sinology that integrates local knowledge directly into the global system.
