活动介绍
The Event
耶鲁研究生院’65届已故校友、耶鲁大学历史学斯特林讲席荣休教授史景迁的代表作《王氏之死》作为中国历史微观研究的经典之作,以一名普通农妇的悲欢还原了17世纪山东郯城的社会生态,堪称“学术研究与历史写作的完美示范”。这种独特的历史书写方式,深刻影响了一代历史学者与写作者,让更多目光转向浩瀚史料中的“小人物”身上——从北京大学中国古代史研究中心暨历史学系教授罗新对北魏宫女漫长余生的追寻,到澳门大学历史系讲座教授王笛对成都街头茶客的生动刻画,正是这些微小个体的生命历程拼贴出了生动且充满温度的历史现场。
6月13日,耶鲁北京中心“史景迁纪念系列讲座”首期重磅邀请罗新与王笛两位历史学者,从《王氏之死》谈起,结合各自的微观史研究,探讨史景迁的写作对后世学界与普通读者的深远影响。
Jonathan SpencePhD ’65, Sterling Professor Emeritus of History at Yale University, vividly portrayed seventeen-century provincial China through the story of a local women’s attempt to leave her husband inThe Death of Woman Wang, a landmark work of microhistory. His distinctive approach has profoundly influenced generations of historians and writers. From Xin Luo, Professor at the Center for Research on Ancient Chinese History at Peking University, who traces the lingeringlife of a Northern Wei palace woman, to Di Wang, Chair Professor of History at University of Macau, who reconstructs thesocial world of teahouses in Chengdu, scholars have continued to illuminate broader historical landscapes through the lives of seeminglyordinary individuals.
On June 13, the inaugural lecture of Yale Center Beijing’sJonathan Spence Memorial SerieswelcomesXin LuoandDi Wang. Drawing on their readings of The Death of Woman Wang and their ownmicrohistorical research, they will discuss Spence’s influence on both scholarship and public history, and explore how microhistory can engage, resonate with, and inspire a wider audience.
