摘要： 近年来，全球史和微观史的视野深刻地影响了历史学界的选题、研究与写作范式。牛津大学教授沈艾娣（Henrietta Harrison）的《传教士的诅咒：一个华北村庄的全球史》一书出版后，引起了学界的广泛关注。该书跨出民族国家的框架，描写一个中国天主教村庄三个世纪的历史，由此揭示出全球史与微观史在某种意义上的互动。历史学家的时间感、空间感与历史中的个体时空感觉或许有着一定错位，如何摆脱由于后见之明所形成的框架和结构，重新理解和诠释历史中的个体，便成为一个有意义的问题。为了从上述角度深入探讨当代史家所面临的诸多挑战，呈现相关领域的前沿研究方向，北京大学人文社会科学研究院、中国历史研究院近代以来中国历史学知识体系研究中心、香港中文大学出版社邀请葛兆光、沈艾娣、刘永华三位学者，围绕时间与空间、微观史与全球史、文献与田野、仪式与社会等问题进行深度对话。经主办方授权，本刊将对谈精华择要发布，以飨读者。

Abstract:

In recent years, the vision of global history and micro history has profoundly affected the topic selection, research and writing paradigm of history circles. Professor Henrietta Harrison’s book“The Curse of North China: A Global Missionary History of Oxford University”has attracted extensive attention. Beyond the framework of the nation-state, the book describes the three-century history of a Chinese Catholic village, thus revealing the interaction between global history and micro history in a sense. There may be some dislocation between historians’ sense of time and space,and the individual sense of time and space in history. How to get rid of the framework and structure formed by hindsight and re-understand and interpret people in history has become a meaningful problem. Ge Zhaoguang, Henrietta Harrison and Liu Yonghua conducted an in-depth dialogue on issues such as time and space, micro history and global history, literature and fields, ceremony and society.
