“新子学”视域中的“子藏学”建构与“数字人文”前瞻

The Construction of Zizangxue in the Light of New Zixue and the Prospects for Digital Humanities

“新子学”以整体多元的方式重构子学,并以“文本”的创造与解放为立足点,继往开来。“新子学”与《子藏》存在着内源性关系,“子藏学”的建构及其意义也有赖于“新子学”理念的观照。在“新子学”视域下,仅从“物”的方面来看,“子藏学”与传统的“四库学”“敦煌学”等相较,优在理念、研究方向与方法的突破。而新兴的“数字人文”目前处于起步阶段,它在研究理念与方法上仍延续旧经学或科学主义的研究范式,立足于“作品”的结构、内容的相似性。但它将来的影响将非常突出,因为它意味着学术研究主体以及对象的彻底改变。但这在根源处牵涉着人和数据的实质与关系这一根本性问题。“新子学”对此可以有也应有充分的反思,从事真实有效的人文研究。

With a foothold in textual creation and liberation,newzixue reconstructs zixue in a holistic and plural manner,so as to build on past achievements and set out on a new journey.There is an endogenous relationship between new zixue and zizang.Furthermore,the construction and significance of zizang studies rely on the prism of the new zixue concept.In the field of new zixue,studies of zizang,seen only as“things,”are superior to the traditional studies on the Imperial Library of Classical Works and Dunhuang studies in terms of breakthroughs in concepts,research direction,and methods.In their initial stage,the emerging digital humanities are at present adopting a research paradigm which carries on the research concepts and methods of the old classical studies,or scientism.They have taken a position on similarities in the work’s structures and content.Despite this,the future impact of the digital humanities will be very evident,as it implies a complete change in the subjects and objects of academic research.However,this trend relates fundamentally to the nature of people and data and their relationships.New zixue can and should fully rethink this issue and conduct authentic and effective humanistic research.
