历史学本科作业只能写论文吗?——基于“西方史学史”课程的非虚构创意写作实践

Do History Students Have to Write Essay Assignments?:Practicing Creative Nonfiction Writing in the Course of History of Western Historiography

从当前高等教育历史专业的写作现状来看,主要采取的是以理性分析为主的“论文”写作训练。但无论是从满足社会的多样需求,还是从培养学生的多元智能来讲,都对历史写作教学提出了更高、更多样的要求。从当前历史学科的理论发展与写作实践来看,也日益打破了理性分析论文一家独大的局面,呈现叙事与分析两种思维的分庭抗礼局面。由此在历史学本科写作教学中,只单一重视理性分析的论文写作教学就存在不足,就有在写作教学中开展多种体裁的非虚构创意写作训练的必要。

Based on the current writing teaching status of history majors in higher education,students primarily receive training in rational analysis and"essay"writing.But whether it is to meet the diverse needs of society or to develop multiple intelligences in students,a higher and more diverse demand is being made on the teaching of writing in the history departments of colleges and universities.From the point of view of current theoretical developments and writing practices in the historical discipline,the dominance of the rational-an-alytic essay is increasingly broken,but two types of thinking,narrative and analysis,are competing.In the teaching of undergraduate writing in history,the original teaching of essay writing,which focuses solely on rational analysis,is inadequate,and training in various types of nonfiction creative writing is necessary in writing instruction.
