摘要

《印度文明:问题与展望》特刊试图对历史学家经常松散使用的一个概念进行质疑。从很早的时候开始，人们通常从连续性的角度来理解这个概念，但也有一种倾向，即从宗教文化的角度来解读这个概念，特别提到梵语婆罗门教传统，认为它为印度文明提供了意义。本期的四篇文章涉及认识论和语境问题，这些问题既使文明的概念变得复杂，也澄清了文明的概念，尤其是它在印度语境中的用法。

Civilization: Historicizing a Concept in the Indian Context

The special issue on ‘Indian Civilization: Issues and Perspectives’ seeks to interrogate a concept that has often been loosely used by historians. Generally understood in terms of continuity from very early times, there has also been a tendency to read this concept in religio-cultural terms, with specific reference to the Sanskritic brahmanical traditions, as providing meaning to Indian civilization. The four essays in this issue engage with epistemological and contextual issues that both complicate as well as clarify the concept of civilization, and especially its usage in the Indian context.

期刊介绍： Studies in History reflects the considerable expansion and diversification that has occurred in historical research in India in recent years. The old preoccupation with political history has been integrated into a broader framework which places equal emphasis on social, economic and cultural history. Studies in History examines regional problems and pays attention to some of the neglected periods of India"s past. The journal also publishes articles concerning countries other than India. It provides a forum for articles on the writing of different varieties of history, and contributions challenging received wisdom on long standing issues.
