从“地方”到“整体”——社会史视角下的政治史研究

社会史能否研究政治史以及怎样研究政治史？这是目前史学界正在讨论的问题。在持社会史是一种新“范式”观点的学者看来，社会史不但有能力研究政治史，而且还能更好地研究政治史。社会史视角下的政治史研究，是将国家的宏观政治放置到地方社会的历史场景中，时传统的政治史进行重新解读，这种新思路改变了传统的政治史那种宏大叙事框架下“标签式”、只着眼于对宏观政治本身的演变的研究，使政治史的研究更加缜密和细致，更能接近历史的真实。

From Region to Whole-A Study of Political History from the Social History Angle

Whether social history can be applied to study political history and how we can do so are being discussed in academic circles at the present time. The academicians, holding the opinion that social history is a kind of new paradigm, think social history not only has the capacity of studying political history, but also the capacity of studying it better. From the social history angle, political history studies put the national macroscopic politics into history scene of regional society and reinterpret the traditional political history. The new trend of thought altered studies of traditional political history which only pay attention to macroscopic politics in itself evolution in the grand recount frame, but ignore the politics about how to influence daily life of the small potatoes. It makes the studies of political history more meticulous , more careful and closer to historical reality.
