摘要

本文探讨j.z.史密斯关于宗教是“非本土范畴”的论点是否可以应用于历史学科,以及如何应用于历史学科。它着眼于19世纪的美国人如何构建他们自己对“正统历史”的理解——可验证的、说教的和进步的——与所谓的夏威夷“异教徒”的无历史感和中国“异教”的停滞相对照。对这些19世纪的历史学家来说,“真正的”历史在过去发生了变化,并指向未来的变化。这篇文章要求历史学家思考,他们如何通过关注历史叙事的核心组成部分——随着时间的推移而发生的变化,来复制一些关于前进历史的相同假设。它敦促历史学家将我们研究对象的原生历史想象融入到我们自己的研究方法中,注意这些想象何时是循环的、重复的以及定向的,并让我们的研究对象对时间和历史的假设(通常受到宗教观点的影响)引导我们自己决定如何构建我们讲述的故事。

The Historyless Heathen and the Stagnating Pagan: History as Non-Native Category?
Abstract This article asks whether and how J. Z. Smith's contention that religion is a “non-native category” might be applied to the discipline of history. It looks at how nineteenth-century Americans constructed their own understandings of “proper history”—authenticatable, didactic, and progressive—against the supposed historylessness of “heathen” Hawaiians and stagnation of “pagan” Chinese. “True” history, for these nineteenth-century historians, changed in the past and pointed to change in the future. The article asks historians to think about how they might be replicating some of the same assumptions about forward-moving history by focusing on change over time as a core component of historical narration. It urges historians to instead also incorporate the native historical imaginations of our subjects into our own methods, paying attention to when those imaginations are cyclical and reiterative as well as directional, and letting our subjects' assumptions about time and history, often shaped by religious perspectives, orient our own decisions about how to structure the stories we tell.
