Abstract

ABSTRACT Rapid changes in the context and condition of historical practice (technological, institutional, theoretical) invite practicing historians to entertain experimental techniques for engaging the past: for teaching students; for investigating archives; and for presenting the results of historical inquiry. The authors introduce a form of historically oriented research and writing that shows promise as a way of encouraging genuine immersion in the specificity and alterity of the past. This ‘metahistorical’ mode, which engages with historical fiction, but also with traditions of rigorous scholarly research, offers a powerful means by which to cultivate historical consciousness, and to promote imaginative historical practices.

元小说与历史研究：档案中的新知识

摘要：历史实践（技术、制度、理论）的背景和条件的快速变化，邀请实践历史学家采用实验技术来接触过去：教授学生；用于调查档案；以及用于呈现历史查询的结果。作者介绍了一种以历史为导向的研究和写作形式，这种形式显示出希望，鼓励人们真正沉浸在过去的特殊性和可变性中。这种“元历史”模式既涉及历史小说，也涉及严谨的学术研究传统，为培养历史意识和促进富有想象力的历史实践提供了强有力的手段。
