自20世纪70年代以来,大多数历史学家致力于自然时间跨度在5年到50年之间的研究。这种关注点的聚焦表明历史学家放弃了他们在20世纪后期之前普遍关注的更长时间段,造成了长时段与广大读者的隔阂,也使它失去了在公共政策和全球治理方面曾起到的作用。本文调查这一现象产生的原因和所造成的结果,并针对它所造成的信心及其他相关危机提出解决方案。当前,回归到费尔南·布罗代尔提出的经典定义“长时段”是紧要且可行的:紧要性在于恢复历史学科作为重要社会科学的地位,而可行性在于我们可以获得大量历史数据及分析它们所必要的数字工具。
Since the 1970s, most historians have devoted themselves to the study of a natural time span of 5 to 50 years. The focus of this concern shows that historians have abandoned longer periods of their general concern before the late twentieth century, created long-term estrangement from the majority of readers and lost their role in public policy and global governance To the role. This article investigates the causes and the consequences of this phenomenon and proposes solutions to the confidence it creates and other related crises. At present, returning to Fernand Braudel’s classic definition of “long periods” is both crucial and feasible: the urgency lies in restoring the status of history as an important social science, and the feasibility is that we can gain a great deal of history Data and the digital tools necessary to analyze them.
