格比尔文本与印度文化的早期现代化

Kabīrian Texts and Indian Culture’s Early Modernization

自欧洲殖民印度以来,殖民统治的建立被视为印度现代化进程的开端。尽管对早期现代印度史,尤其是经济史的研究已经反思了以欧洲殖民为核心的现代化叙事,但对前殖民时代本土文化现代化研究的不足依然制约着对印度前殖民现代化的研究。本文重点研究与纺织工格比尔相关的早期现代印地语文献,通过在早期现代印度纺织业发展和印度纺织业者的神秘主义文学传统双重语境中重新挖掘其思想内涵,寻找前殖民时代的印度城市纺织业发展出的具有新时代烙印的现代思想文化的历史线索,以期跳出资本主义全球体系在形成“中央—边缘”格局的过程中凭借殖民知识体系塑造出的单一的“全球现代化叙事”,重新思考多元文明世界的早期现代化实践。

Ever since the European colonization of India,the establishment of colonial rule is seen as the beginning of the modernization process in India.Although studies of early modern Indian history,especially economic history,have reflected on the Europe-centric modernization narrative,the lack of research on the indigenous cultural modernization in the pre-colonial era still constrains the study of precolonial modernization in India.This paper focuses on early modern Hindi literature related to the weaver Kabir.By reclaiming its ideological content in the dual context of the development of the textile industry in early modern India and the mystical literary traditions of Indian weavers,this paper sorts out historical clues on how the urban textile industry in pre-colonial India already gave rise to modern thoughts and culture with imprints of the new era,in order to think beyond the singular“global modernization narrative”which was shaped by capitalist world system with colonial system of knowledge during the process of shaping the“centre-periphery”pattern,and revisit the plural early modernizations of the multi-civilizationworld.
