以《剑桥印度史》和《牛津印度史》为代表的正统印度史学的历史地理学把印度的地理环境表述为一个单一而封闭的自然区域。这种历史地理学和东方专制主义观念一起,塑造了作为正统印度史学基石的印度文明观念。20世纪80年代后,以《新剑桥印度史》为代表的新印度史学不仅重构了印度的历史地理学,把印度的地理环境描述为一个多元而开放的地理空间,还解构了正统印度史学的东方专制主义理论,从而完全解构了正统印度史学的印度文明观。其结果是,新印度史学创立了一个新的历史空间,实现了从文明到空间的转向。
The historical geography of orthodox Indian historiography represented by “Cambridge Indian History” and “Oxford Indian History” expresses India’s geographical environment as a single and closed natural region. This historical geography, together with the concept of Eastern despotism, shaped the notion of Indian civilization as the cornerstone of orthodox Indian historiography. After the 1980s, the new Indian historiography represented by “New Cambridge History of India” not only reconstructed India’s historical geography, described India’s geographical environment as a diverse and open geographical space, but also deconstructed orthodox Indian historiography Orientalist absolutism theory, which completely deconstructed the orthodox Indian history of Indian civilization. As a result, New Hindu historiography created a new historical space and realized the shift from civilization to space.
