摘要
区域研究立足于学科的基础之上,但区域研究与学科两者之间也存在着“特殊性”和“普遍性”的张力,两者之间的鸿沟在上世纪八九十年代之后进一步扩大,区域研究和学科之争愈演愈烈。近年来,国外区域研究学界强调,既需要注意区域研究走向“孤立”和“例外论”的危险,也需要提防因学科本位导致的两者间的等级秩序及对学科的过度偏向。面对区域研究和学科之争的强化,国外学界积极探索区域研究与学科之间的融合,并在具体的路径和方法上取得了进展。跨学科的区域研究的发展面临着来自学科的限制,但也有助于超越区域研究和学科之争。近年兴起的比较区域研究能够从学科基础、方法和视野等方面连接起区域研究和学科。
Although modern area studies is based on disciplines, tensions between area studies’ inclination toward specificities and disciplines’ inclination toward generalities have existed for a long time. Since the 1980 s and 1990 s, this kind of gap has widened and the controversies between area studies and disciplines have become increasingly fierce. The new trends in international academia of area studies reveal that we should be alert to both the dangers of "isolation" and "exceptionalism" in area studies, and, at the same time, the hierarchies between area studies and disciplines and the tendency to lean toward disciplines. Faced with these debates, the international academia has been trying to probe into the synthesis of area studies and disciplines, and have provided some concrete approaches and methods. While transdisciplinary area studies have to deal with the constraints of disciplines, they can overcome the controversies between area studies and disciplines. Comparative area studies that flourish in recent years can bridge area studies and disciplines in the aspect of disciplinary bases, methods and horizon.
