【摘要】：劉禾的《帝國的話語政治:從近代中西沖突看現(xiàn)代世界秩序的形成》一書,自問世以來,無論是英文版還是中文版,皆引起廣泛關注,顯示出此書的獨特價值。首先其研究視角相當新穎,其借用�？碌脑捳Z理論,指出近代中英沖突是一種話語沖突,也就是一種話語政治的沖突。其次,借用西方符號學理論,把歷史研究視為一種國際政治學的符號學轉向,認為中英帝國之間的交流并非文明的沖突,而是帝國的碰撞,因此而產生的一系列外交糾紛和談判,解釋為符號的轉譯與曲解,也就是符號事件,折射出19世紀國際關系的大轉變。其三,"符號事件"之所以重要,乃是因為涉及主權想象,書中無論是討論"夷"字的轉義、《萬國公法》的翻譯、維多利亞女王與慈禧太后的統(tǒng)治,還是《馬氏文通》的編撰,皆是這種主權想象的體現(xiàn),揭示了近代中西沖突中非同凡常的一面。不過,這種話語政治的研究能否取代現(xiàn)實政治、"夷"能否被看成是"儒家經典主權理論中的核心概念"以及"支那"能否對譯"China"等問題,皆值得重新考慮。
[Abstract]:Liu he's book "the Politics of Imperial discourse: the formation of Modern World order from the conflict between China and the West in Modern Times" has attracted widespread attention since its publication, both in English and in Chinese, showing the unique value of the book. First of all, his research perspective is quite novel. He draws on Foucault's discourse theory and points out that the conflict between China and Britain in modern times is a kind of discourse conflict, that is, a conflict of discourse politics. Secondly, the study of history is regarded as a semiotics turn of international politics, and the exchange between Chinese and British empires is not a clash of civilizations, but a collision of empires. As a result, a series of diplomatic disputes and negotiations were interpreted as the translation and misinterpretation of symbols, that is, symbolic events, which reflected the great changes in international relations in the 19th century. Third, the "symbolic event" is important because it involves the imagination of sovereignty, whether it is about the escape of the word "Yi", the translation of "public law of nations", and the rule of Queen Victoria and Empress Dowager Cixi. The compilation of Ma Shi Wen Tong is the embodiment of this kind of sovereign imagination, which reveals the unusual side of modern Chinese and Western conflicts. However, whether the study of discourse politics can take the place of realistic politics, whether Yi can be regarded as the core concept of Confucian classical sovereignty theory and whether ** can translate "China" should be reconsidered.
