摘    要:效用、真实和时间构成了历史认识结构的基本要素 ,而历史认识史中的结构变迁经历了前现代 (从古代到 1 8世纪末职业化历史学产生之前 )、现代 (职业化历史学时期 ,即 1 8世纪末到 2 0世纪 70年代初 )和后现代 ( 2 0世纪 70年代后 )三个阶段 ,效用、真实、时间依次成为这三个阶段历史认识结构的中心。以时间为结构中心的后现代主义史学表现出历史主义的极端化 ,并进一步强调了时间、变化对于历史真实和历史意义的决定性作用 ,有鉴于此 ,历史叙述和阅读的私人化将促使历史学成为一种实验史学 ,即它不再是那种宣告历史真实的史学 ,而致力于在历史性情境下提供个体史学家认可的文本 ,并交由读者阅读、判断 ,随后通过该文本产生的效用来确认其是否真实。这样 ,任何一种史学实践都将是历史学家当下进行的一项追求历史真实的实验 ,而实验成功与否 ,完全取决于实验环境即阅读环境所提供的条件

关 键 词:实验史学  后现代主义  历史认识  历史学

Experimental History:Appeal of Postmodernism in Contemporary Historiography
CHEN Xin.Experimental History:Appeal of Postmodernism in Contemporary Historiography[J].Journal of Beijing Normal University(Social Science Edition),2004(5):77-84.

Abstract:The author holds that Use, Truth and Time constitute the basic elements in historical cognition structure, the last of which has undergone three periods of development: pre-modern period (from ancient times to the end of the 18th century before the rise of professional historiography); modern period (professional historiography period, from the end of 18th century to early 1970s) and postmodern period (from 1970s to the present). Each of Use, Truth and Time is the centre of the three successive periods respectively. The postmodern history which uses time as its structure centre displays the extremism of historicism and emphasizes further the decisive effect that Time and Change might have on historical truth and meaning. Because of this, the privatization of historical narrative and reading will help make history an experimental one; that is, history will no longer be the kind that declares Truth. Instead, it will commit itself to providing, under the historical context, historical texts that individual historians approve, and give them to readers to read and judge. Then based on the effects of the texts it would decide whether these texts are true or not. Thus, any historiographical practice will be an experiment being conducted by a historian aiming at finding out historical truth. Whether the experiment would be a success or not will depend wholly on the experimental conditions, those provided by the reading environments.
