講座摘要 Abstract of Webinar:

中國史只能使用中文文獻資料解釋?西文文獻資料對晚明以降的中國史研究有什麼價值?構建“西文中國史料學”能否成為史學史領域的一個新方向?本次座談特邀中西文化交流史研究的兩位專家學者就這些議題展開深入對談。從典型的文獻例證談起,介紹近代西方中國史知識的生產及傳播情況,勾勒中國史的書寫模式和發展脈絡,並進一步辨析中西文獻互證方法的適用性、優勢和局限。

Should Chinese history be interpreted only by way of Chinese sources? What is the value of European sources to the studies of Chinese history after the late Ming period? Will the approach “Chinese history through European sources” possibly become a new direction in historiographic research? This webinar presents a dialogue between two experts on Chinese-Western cultural exchanges in history. It starts with a presentation of exemplary texts, followed by a discussion on the production and circulation of knowledge on Chinese history in modern Europe, in parallel with a survey of the major characteristics and trends of Chinese historical writings. The mutual corroboration approach in using Chinese and European sources will be further examined in light of its practicality, advantages, and limits.
