講座內容 About the Lecture

在清代的最後二十年，開始出現一種定義何者是「歷史的」，何者是「非歷史的」風潮。這些區辨本身除了決定歷史書寫的範圍，對現實發展方向的偏好之外，還有其他現實意涵，就像英法文明論的文明、野蠻、半開化，形成十九世紀歐洲中心主義的骨架。在晚清，它鼓舞著國家的侵略性等，認為這才是符合精神的歷史性實體，否則是前歷史的民族。

During the last two decades of the Qing dynasty, a trend that sought to define what is ‘historical’ and what is ‘ahistorical’ emerged. Such differentiation not only determined the boundaries of historical scholarship. It also had real-world implications, similar to the British and French civilization theories of distinguishing between ‘civilization’, ‘savagery’, and ‘barbarism’, creating the basis of nineteenth-century Eurocentrism. This trend of thought encouraged the aggressiveness of the nation, arguing that only through such aggression could the nation become a historical entity that aligns with such spirit/essence, otherwise it would be considered pre-historical.
