  • 红潮小史
    程映虹
    所谓'小史'，是说这些边角文字谈论的多半不是红色年代的宏大叙事，不是规律和必然性，更不是'历史和人民的选择'，而是在大时代大事件中活动和生存的个人或者群体的经历。所谓'小史'，也是说这些文字依据的材料不是红头文件或者'公报'，不是调查报告也不是统计资料，而是零零碎碎和人的经历有关的故事和细节。但它们又都是有出处的，很多出自人物传记、学术专著、新闻报道和历史亲历者的叙述，也有的来自于一些原始材料和笔者的实地勘访。所以虽然不属正史，但也还有别于道听途说的野史。 ...

  • 川普时代：美国不再伟大
    Zhi Pi （子皮 著）
    子皮开了一个微信公众号，名字叫《炼金手记》。源于她以前偶尔读过这样一句话：'真的炼金者不是把铅变成金，而是把世界变成文字。'历史学家威尔·杜朗（Will Durant）说：'人类的历史是一条河流。河里满是浓腥的血，那是因为人们在杀戮、掠抢、争斗。然而在少有人注意的河岸，人们在造房子、做爱、养孩子、唱歌、写诗、雕塑。文明的故事，是河岸上发生的事情。'很久以前，这些有灵魂的动物发明了语言，发明了文字；从那时起，他们用文字记述他们的苦难，用语言歌唱他们的希望。只要这个世界上还有语言和文字，我们也许就会记起我们是有灵魂的动物。子皮刚开始写东西的时候，曾经写过这样一句话：'我认为写作的终极魅力不在于被看见被听见，而在于让自己学会看、听、触摸和拥抱这个世界，与自己的心魂。'子皮说：当然，写多了就会知道，'这个世界'和'自己的心魂'之间，并没有一条真正的界限。很多...

  • 汇思录
    陈衍德
    在中国学界，中国史与世界史历来有畛域之分，直至近年才有汇流之趋势。本书虽为论文集，但就其组合而言，乃可窥作者打破中国史与世界史界限之本意。汉唐以来的'天下国家'之脉络，绵延千年仍隐约可见。历史上东亚变迁过程中的各国之关联性，在本书各篇之间仍有迹可寻。上溯至中古时期，中华文化既接受如佛教那样的外来宗教，又将其改造后再传播四方。遑论辉煌的唐文化辐射周边，其影响至深且巨了。在区域化与全球化进程中，各国都无法对他国事务视而不见。如环境问题、农民问题等，各国均有相似性。而华人移民出国，亦与中外各自内部情势关系密切。中国与近邻如菲律宾者，通过经济与政治互动，其双向影响自不待言。如诺视本书乃由各篇文稿组成之整体，则可见中外历史与现实之不可分割性。作者对整体性的大历史之思索，在本书各篇中在在可见。要之，本书作者试图以跨领域的跳跃式探索，希冀让读者领略超越时空的研究路...
