【摘要】：后现代主义对历史学的挑战是否预示着新一轮"史学危机"的来临,是否又意味着"历史学的终结"?它至少引发了当代西方史学思想的一次新震荡,并从理论层面波及到历史写作的实践领域,其影响甚至超出学术范畴,直达人们对社会历史的普遍认识。而所谓"历史学的终结"也并不意味着历史学科的消亡,仅仅意味着一场新的史学变革。西方主流史学家试图从历史学的多重特性、客观性的限度与历史事实的建构等几个相互联系的方面展开与后现代主义的论争,在回应挑战中捍卫历史学的合法性与谋求学科发展的新途径。尽管在现代与后现代史学之间仍然存在着深刻的理论分野,但它们似乎在尝试以某种方式共存,即融合现代与后现代的历史视角,一方面运用后现代主义的理论锋芒消解现代史学的顽疾与弊端,另一方面又以现代史学长期积累的经验体系来规训后现代意识中某些极端化的思想倾向。双方的相互交锋与激烈碰撞逐步演化为当代西方史学变迁的推动力,也预示着未来史学发展的可能性选择。
[Abstract]:Does the challenge of postmodernism to history herald the coming of a new round of "historical crisis", and does it mean "the end of history"? It has at least caused a new shock of the contemporary western historiography thought, and spread to the practical field of historical writing from the theory level, its influence even went beyond the academic scope, direct people to the universal understanding of the social history. The end of history does not mean the demise of history, but a new revolution in history. Western mainstream historians have tried to argue with postmodernism in terms of the multiple characteristics of history, the limits of objectivity and the construction of historical facts. Defending the legitimacy of history in response to challenges and seeking new approaches to discipline development. Although there is still a profound theoretical division between modern and post-modern historiography, they seem to be trying to coexist in some way, that is, to integrate the historical perspective of modern and post-modern. On the one hand, the theory of postmodernism is used to eliminate the stubborn problems and drawbacks of modern historiography, on the other hand, the long-term accumulated experience system of modern historiography is used to discipline some extreme ideological tendencies in postmodern consciousness. The mutual confrontation and fierce collision between the two sides gradually evolved into the driving force of contemporary western historiography, and also indicated the possible choice of the development of historiography in the future.
