西方战争史中的瘟疫主题书写

Writing of the Plague Theme in the History of Western Wars

在西方历史长河中,瘟疫常常与战争如影随形,因而也常被战争史著所关注。在众多西方历史学家的笔下,瘟疫在战争史叙事中长期处于一种“边缘者”的地位,直至现当代才被视作战争史的书写主题。瘟疫问题在西方战争书写史中的地位转变,是西方史学研究动态变化历程的具体体现。随着西方史学中年鉴学派、新文化史、全球史的兴起,战争史中曾被传统史学边缘化的瘟疫记述,逐渐上升为战争史研究的主题之一。

In the long history of the West,plague has often accompanied wars,so they have often been the focus of war history.In the writings of many Western historians,plague has long been a"marginal"part of the historical narrative of war,and only in modern times has it been regarded as the theme of war history.The change in the status of plague in the history of war writing in the West is a concrete manifestation of the changing dynamics of Western historiography.With the rise of the Annales School,the New Cultural History,and the Global History of Western Historiography,the plague,once marginalized by traditional historiography,has gradually emerged as one of the themes in the study of war history.
