东南亚研究知识生产的本土化与国际化路径——以新加坡东南亚研究所的兴起为例

The Localization and Internationalization Paths of Knowledge Production in Southeast Asian Studies: Taking the Rise of ISEAS as an Example

东南亚区域作为人文社科研究的试验田,是知识生产的重要场域。20世纪60年代,新加坡与美国、欧洲和澳大利亚东南亚研究知识网络相互连接,使其在知识生产国际化的背景下成为东南亚区域内部知识生产的中心。东南亚研究所(ISEAS)是新加坡独立后建立的第一个自主研究机构。在新加坡,东南亚区域研究与其国内政治之间呈现出政治推动—学界领衔、知识输出—政策参考的紧密关系。ISEAS开启的东南亚研究是东南亚地区的一场研究革命。从初期学习欧美的东南亚研究中心项目到吸引域内外流动学者从事在地研究,再到招聘固定学者,创办学术和政策刊物,出版东南亚研究著作,ISEAS稳步建设成为国际化与本土化相互交融的研究单元和网络。从知识生产的路径来看,ISEAS的兴起得益于本土化和国际化的稳步互动。ISEAS搭乘英语世界东南亚研究的“快车道”,迅速推进研究人员的国际化,在东南亚研究去殖民化和本土化的大背景下成为东南亚研究的一面旗帜。

As an experimental field for humanities and social science research,Southeast Asia is an important field for knowledge production.In the 1960s,Singapore's interconnection with the United States,Europe,and Australia's Southeast Asian research knowledge network made Singapore an important center for knowledge production within the Southeast Asian region in the context of the internationalization of knowledge production.The Institute of Southeast Asian Studies(ISEAS)is the first independent research institute established after Singapore's independence.Within ISEAS,there is a close relationship between the knowledge of Southeast Asian studies and Singapore's domestic politics:political promotion-academic leadership,knowledge output-policy reference.The Southeast Asian studies initiated by ISEAS is a research revolution in Southeast Asia,initially learning from the Southeast Asian Studies research centers and projects in Europe and the United States to attracting visiting scholars from inside and outside the region to engage in local research,to recruiting permanent scholars,establishing academic and policy journals,and publishing a large number of academic works on Southeast Asian studies,eventually building up a research unit and network that integrates internationalization and localization.From the perspective of knowledge production,the rise of ISEAS benefits from the steady interaction between localization and internationalization.After taking the fast track of Southeast Asian studies in the English-speaking world,ISEAS quickly promoted the international background of researchers,and became a leading flag of Southeast Asian studies under the background of decolonization and localization of Southeast Asian studies.
