“庶民研究”是印度近二十余年来以后殖民主义为研究视角的一种历史编纂实践。它主张摒弃传统史学撰述中的精英主义话语,从“庶民”的角度重写印度殖民与后殖民时期的历史。“庶民研究”在理论与方法上代表了当今后殖民史学的一个重要特征,它既批判了西方现代史学观念中的历史主义弊端,又对近现代以来非西方史学在西方普遍主义话语之下继续“受殖”的状况进行了深刻反思。“庶民研究”努力建构的书写非西方历史的新模式,以及由此导致的后殖民史学对非西方历史学的重新定向具有一种普遍意义,值得第三世界的历史学者借鉴与思考。
“Common people study” is a historical compilation practice of India from the perspective of colonialism in the past two decades or so. It advocated abandoning the elitist discourse in the traditional historiography and rewriting the history of India’s colonial and post-colonial states from the perspective of the common people. The research on common people represents an important characteristic of postcolonial historiography in theory and method. It not only criticizes the defects of historicism in the concept of western modern historiography, but also continues non-western historiography under the universalist discourse in the modern history The situation of “reproduction” has been deeply reflected. The new mode of “non-Western history” written by “common people research” and its reorientation of non-western historiography resulting from it are worthy of reference and reflection by the historians in the third world.
