论出版企业制度史研究的合法性维度——以上海中华书局为中心案例

Research on the History of Institutions of Publishing Enterprises:A Case Study of Shanghai Zhonghua Book Company

出版企业制度史研究的目的在于增进出版的历史场域与当下场域之间的双向理解。其研究意义在于发现过去的出版企业制度对于当下出版企业制度的影响,分别体现为正式制度(三审三校制度、福利制度、科学管理制度)和非正式制度(文化使命感)的影响。出版企业制度史研究应当有“问题意识”,通过日记、书信、档案、文集等史料深入出版现场,对出版人进行“访谈”,以培养历史感。结合历史感、历史资源和新制度主义理论,对历史和当下出版场域提出真问题,并从历史和现实的双向角度进行解答。

The purpose of studying the history of institutions of publishing enterprises is to understand the historical field and the contemporary field of publishing,and how they shed light upon each other.This study aims to discover how the institutions of the publishing enterprises in the past influenced the ones of the present,which could be found in both formal institutions(for example,the review and proofreading system,the welfare system,and the scientific management system)and informal institutions(for example,the sense of cultural mission).Researchers working on the history of institutions of publishing enterprises should besensitive to discover questions.They could use diaries,letters,archives,anthologies,and other historical materials to go deep into the publishing scenes in the Republic of China,to“conduct interviews”with publishers in the Republic of China,and to cultivate a sense of history.Relying on the sense of history,and using historical resources and neo-institutionalism theory,researchers can address real questions about historical and contemporary fields of publishing,and answer from both past and present perspectives.
