基于编史学方法论对地理学史进行考察,在回顾地理学史研究进展,尤其是方法论的基础上,通过分析实证主义和思想史两类编史方法论的文本,力图阐明:① 实证主义地理学史侧重于以实证主义方法论为叙事模式,具有普遍主义、进步主义、辉格主义、欧洲中心论的色彩,所涉及的社会文化因素并未对地理学知识内容及其性质产生实质影响,地理学是“百川归海”式的发展,空间性并不重要,是一元传统的理性主义进路;② 思想史方法论立足于地理学在时间和空间上的差异性,按公平性、对称性的原则进行叙事,揭示了古代地理学阶段地理知识的文化特征,以及社会文化的差异性对地理学知识内容和性质的影响,时间性和空间性均是重要的,从而形成了多元比较史的、实践史的进路。在后历史的层面上,实证主义编史方法论的强纲领叙事模式值得商榷,其主要贡献是建构了基于实证主义方法论的地理学进化史,其不足方面是弱化了社会文化多样性对地理学发展的影响及其对应的不同时空中地理知识的内容和性质特征。因此,基于地理学编史学视角得出以下结论:① 地理学史是一项建构性的事业,具有明显的相对性;② 地理学史编史应注意将地理学置于语境中以获得解释;③ 地理学史的建构应坚持非强纲领原则。 |

This historiographical article examines the ways by which geographers wrote about the history of geography in the past and provides suggestions for the future. We refer to the actual history of geography as "HG1" and the writings of historians about the history as "HG2". The essence of historiography of geography is to examine how HG1 record, explain HG2 in its places and times rather than it "should be" today. There are three types of historiographical methods in HG2: (1) positivism historiography, such as The Nature of Geography, All possible words: A history of geographical ideas, an "essentialist" historiography which postulates what geography is as a science "in essence", and construct geography's history base on this approach; (2) constructivism historiography, such as the contributions by Trevor J. Barnes, who insisted that geography is constructed by society; (3) historical contextualism historiography, emphasized by British historian of geography, Robert J. Mayhew, who drew on the ideas from so-called "Cambridge school" scholars, such as Michael Oakeshott and Quentin Skinner, etc., and the aim is to think how to write the histories of geographies, rather than history of geography. Both Robert J. Mayhew and Charles W. J. Withers insisted that geography was so different in different places and different times, implying that we should avoid an inevitable or progressive "essentialist" historiography which postulates what geography is as a science "in essence". Of course, historical contextualism historiography has been related to the works in China such as From dynastic geography to historical geography: A change in perspective towards the geographical past of China (in English) and From chaos to order: Palaeoid geographical thought in China (in Chinese), published by Xiaofeng Tang. Tang thinks that the history of Chinese geography should be concerned with the past for its own sake, which means in this context the ways by which Chinese geography was understood at the time, rather than the ways by which it can be understood in the light of the present-day practice of the discipline. So, Tang constructed the history of dynastic geography and explained it from the perspectives of Chinese ancient culture, words and concepts. The thought has been inherited by his student, Sheng Pan, in his doctoral thesis, Ideas, system and interest in the geography of the Sung dynasties (Peking University, 2008). Based on the discussions, we suggest that an effective way for the progress of historiography is to make a choice among these methods, and we think positivism historiographical method is a good choice for modern history; historical contextualism historiographical method is beneficial to ancient and early modern history, especially to non-western or non-Anglophone places like China. |
