二十年来新文化史在中国大陆的传播、影响及实践

The Spread, Influence and Practice of New Cultural History in Chinese Mainland in the Past Twenty Years

20世纪70年代,西方新文化史风靡学界。新文化史在大陆的传播由滞后到火热,1999年是其传入大陆的节点。进入21世纪,新文化史被大量引介。同时,大陆学者积极开展新文化史实践,在城市史、医疗卫生史与身体史、书籍史与阅读史、表象史与记忆史等领域取得丰硕成果。大陆新文化史的收获是,把“人”带回到历史研究中,拓展新视角,开辟新领域,发掘新史料。主要问题为,理论和方法缺乏原创性,研究碎片化,缺乏微观史的经典之作,存在泛文化现象及单一文化决定论。未来新文化史研究,应具备全球视野和加强跨学科合作。

In the 1970 s, the new cultural history became popular in Western academic circles.It was introduced to Chinese mainland relatively late, but spread very quickly.1999 was the node of its introduction to Chinese mainland.Since the 21 st century, the new cultural history has been widely introduced, and scholars in Chinese mainland have actively carried out the practice of new cultural history, and achieved fruitful results in the fields of urban history, medical and health history, physical history, reading history, book history, representation history and memory history.The harvest of the new cultural history in Chinese mainland is to bring “people” back to the study of history, to exploit new perspectives, to open up new fields and to explore new historical materials.The main problems include the lack of originality in theory and method, the fragmentation of research, the lack of classic works in micro-history, the existence of pan-cultural phenomenon and single cultural determinism.In the future, the study of new cultural history should have a global perspective and strengthen interdisciplinary cooperation.
