E.H.卡尔在其经典著作《历史是什么?》(1961)中把历史研究看作是“现世与过去不间断的对话”。40年后,大卫·坎纳丁等结集出版了上述著作的纪念文集《当今的历史概念》(2001),评述当今史学研究的发展状况。本文拟对坎纳丁文集作些补充,谈谈卡尔时代以来早已确立为专业史学一个重要分支学科的世界史研究现状。本文集中讨论世界史研究的三个突出贡献:建构大规模地理概念以替代民族国家作为历史研究的框架并将其历史化;致力分析跨文化互动交流的大规模历史过程;为全球史发掘超越欧洲中心观的理论构想。作者认为,世界史研究的上述贡献加深并丰富了世人对全球历史的理解,并进而对史学理论和史学研究产生重大的影响。
E.H. Karl in his classic book “What is History?” (1961) regards historical research as “an ongoing dialogue between the present and the past.” Forty years later, David Canardin et al. Published a memorial collection entitled “The Historical Conception of the Present” (2001), a book that commemorates the development of today’s historiography. This article intends to make some supplements to the Kanadin anthology, talking about the status quo of world history research that Karzin has long established as an important branch of professional historiography. This article focuses on three outstanding contributions to the study of world history: building a large-scale geographical concept to replace the nation-state as a framework for historical research and its historicization; devoting itself to analyzing the large-scale historical process of cross-cultural interaction and exchange; The concept of the concept of the center. The author believes that the above contribution to the study of world history deepens and enriches the world’s understanding of global history and thus has a significant impact on the study of history and history.
