论近代中国史学学科化的初步进展

On the Preliminary Progress of the Discipline of Modern Chinese Historiography

史学学科化指的是历史学从传统意义上的一门“学问”发展成为近代意义上的一门“学科”的变化过程。它包括内外两方面的建设:一方面是指自身理论方面的建设,诸如史学概念的明晰、对历史著述和历史本身的明确区分、在史学研究方法上的高度一致等;另一方面表现在科系、学会、学术杂志的创办等。虽然在学科化的进程中,还有一些不成熟的地方,但总体来说,到20世纪20年代末至30年代初,史学作为一门独立的学科已初步形成。

The development of Historiography discipline refers to the change process of historiography from a traditional knowledge to a modern subject.It includes internal and external construction.The former mainly refers to the construction of its own theory,such as the definition of history,the clear distinction between historical works and history itself,and the high consistency in the research methods of history,and so on,while the latter is reflected in the establishment of departments,societies,academic journals,etc.Although there are some immature aspects in the process of disciplinary development,in general,historiography as an independent discipline has taken shape from the late 1920s to the early 1930s.
