分野与整合:当代中国社会史学科边界再议

The Division and Integration:the Reconsideration of the Disciplinary Boundary of the Social History of Contemporary China

近年来,当代中国社会史研究呈现出明显的跨学科取向。跨学科研究在拓展当代中国社会史广度和深度的同时,也导致学科边界渐趋模糊。漠视学科边界的存在只能造成当代中国社会史学科重心的偏移,影响学科建设。在日益广泛的跨学科融通中,厘清和划定学科边界是保持学科独立性的重要前提,清晰的学科边界是实现良性学术交流与学科互鉴的重要依据。作为史学分支学科,当代中国社会史有必要在坚持史学本位的前提下跨越边界,借鉴并整合其他学科之长,实现问题意识、理论视角和技术方法的创新,这也是推动当代中国社会史研究不断深入的基本路径之一。

In recent years,it has appeared obvious interdisciplinary orientation in the study of social history of contemporary China.The interdisciplinary research not only expanded the width and depth of the social history of contemporary China but also leaded to the blurring of discipline boundaries.The behaviour that ignored the existence of discipline boundary could only cause the shift of the disciplinary center of gravity of the social history of contemporary China and made an negative impact on the construction of discipline.In the increasingly extensive interdisciplinary integration,it is an important premise for maintaining the subject independence to clarify and delimit the subject boundary.The clear subject boundaries are an important basis for achieving benign academic exchanges and subject mutual learning.As a branch of history,it is necessary for the social history of contemporary China to cross disciplinary boundary on the premise of adhering to the historicism,learning from and integrate the strengths of other disciplines,and realize the innovation of problem awareness,theoretical perspectives and technical methods.This is also one of the basic paths to promote the constant deepening of study of the social history of contemporary China.
