在中国做“海外中国研究”——中国研究的立场与进路

从海外中国研究到中国研究的转变过程, 实际上也即意味着作为研究客体的中国向作为研究主体的中国的转变过程. 如何面对作为“西学”的海外中国研究在“中国研究”中的地位, 并在此基础上形成中国研究的立场与进路, 应该成为国内中国研究的题中之意. 中国研究的立场是中国主位的, 实现这一立场, 其具体进路在于中国研究是问题取向、经验取向, 最终应该是以认识及理解中国为取向的, 因而, 在这种研究进路下, 中国研究的学术的主体性只能在认识和理解中国的过程中作为“副产品”出现。

Engaging in “Overseas China Studies” Within China? ——The Standpoint and the Pathway of China Studies

The transition from overseas China studies to China studies is in fact the process during which China as the research object becomes the research subject. How to treat and position the overseas China studies in Western academics into the China studies within China, and furthermore, how to engender the standpoint and pathway of China studies should be the focus in the China Studies within China. The standpoint of China Studies is to have China take the central position, which can be established through the pathway of problem tropism and experience tropism with knowing and understanding China as the end goal. In this sense, China being the center in China studies is the byproduct from the process of knowing and understanding China.
