《东方历史评论》 #13

东方历史学人(第13辑):界限的消失:历史视野下的互联网

Rate this book
这是个重大界限消失的时代,人类处于身份、角色、自我意识难以确定的尴尬时刻。原本历历分明的世界,现在变得因无法驻足凝视而统统化作一闪而过的模糊光影。

我们都是越界人(liminal people),活在时代更替的夹缝中。这是世界上无数受技术与媒体影响、经历生活与工作流动、感受代际震荡的群体与个人的共有经历。我们需要一种新的叙述,来承载和容纳其间的模糊性、失序性与无所适从。

《东方历史学人》希望提供另一种历史写作。我们关注此时此刻,相信一切历史都是当代史,但同时也尽量试图去理解另一个时代,即使它与我们的现实并不直接相关。我们尊重各种事实,却也坚信历史的本质在于思想与情感,只有这思想与情感是人类文明延续的根本。
