“社会史的形成和把它划分为科学历史知识的独立领域都发生在20世纪上半期”。当代史学领域内这一巨大变动,推动了历史研究的日趋“下层化”和“大众化”。“社会史”的兴起,既是当代社会对于史学研究的一种时代呼唤,也是史学对这一时代要求的自 “The formation of social history and the division of it into independent realms of scientific and historical knowledge took place in the first half of the twentieth century.” This great change in the field of contemporary historiography has pushed the historical research to become more and more “underclassified” and “popularized.” The rise of “social history” is not only the contemporary call for the study of history but also the requirement of history for this era.
