Abstract

ABSTRACT This article is prompted by the recent debate on the so-called crisis in the humanities, and the related call for historians to change direction by returning to history of the longue durée. While pointing out that the ‘crisis’ is more influenced by the changing political economy of the tertiary education sector than by specific historiographical practices, I suggest that small-scale analysis remains compatible with global history approaches. Articulating a parallel examination of Pacific historiography and the Italian variant of microhistory, the article argues that the latter provides fertile stimuli for Pacific history. In particular, I maintain that integrating social analysis can serve to counterbalance the over-emphasis on cultural aspects found in much Pacific historiography.
微观历史、太平洋历史和规模问题:关于它们我们应该知道的两三件事
摘要:本文的写作灵感来自于近来关于所谓人文危机的争论,以及相关的呼吁,即历史学家应该改变方向,回归到历史的长河中去。虽然指出“危机”更多地受到高等教育部门不断变化的政治经济的影响,而不是具体的史学实践,但我建议小规模分析仍然与全球历史方法兼容。通过对太平洋史学和意大利微史变体的平行考察,本文认为后者为太平洋历史提供了丰富的刺激。特别是,我认为整合社会分析可以抵消在太平洋历史编纂中发现的对文化方面的过度强调。

期刊介绍: The Journal of Pacific History is a refereed international journal serving historians, prehistorians, anthropologists and others interested in the study of mankind in the Pacific Islands (including Hawaii and New Guinea), and is concerned generally with political, economic, religious and cultural factors affecting human presence there. It publishes articles, annotated previously unpublished manuscripts, notes on source material and comment on current affairs. It also welcomes articles on other geographical regions, such as Africa and Southeast Asia, or of a theoretical character, where these are concerned with problems of significance in the Pacific.
