中文简介 中国的边疆社会与政治秩序的内与外密切相关,边疆“社会”在多大程度上成立,亦影响着我们从学理上认识中国社会和中华民族的内涵。理解边疆社会的社会学的视野和方法,是政治社会学和历史社会学的重要视角。疆域(斯土),人民(斯民)是看待边疆社会的基本要素,而广义上的“边政”则是将二者结合起来的方式。同时,边疆是边界的一种特殊形式,而社会学对边界的形成和社会过程已经有了重要的概念体系和研究传统,从社会学研究边界的视角和方法出发,怎么理解中国的边疆社会,是本课程的第二个重点。
英文简介 Frontier has a variety of meanings ranging from a far-flung edge of a state, an outlying community loosely aligning with the center, to peripheral human groups nevertheless much into their own cultural traditions. Frontiers however have played a central role in shaping human histories and thus created histories of their own. This course hopes to shed light on a few general inquiries about frontier   and frontierness by engaging some critical events, junctures, movements and human groups on Chinese frontiers mostly in the 19th and 20th centuries. First, we will have historical tours to some major frontier zones in China particularly back to the late imperial period. Where are the Chinese frontier societies? What does the frontier society mean to the gigantic spatial and cultural entity called China? Who are the social actors in the frontier societies, how do they identity themselves and how do they interact with people outside frontier? Second, this course will introduce some of the critical intellectual frames the social scientific scholarship has raised to probe the frontier. What intellectual tools are at our disposal to conceptualize the frontier? In what processual dynamics does a frontier society change? What functions does a frontier serve and to which interest? What relational format characterizes the interactions between states, regions, political powers or cultural fabrications that are conjoined by a frontier? This course goes between regional studies and conceptual framings and we encourage students to go comparative either across frontier zones in China and/or between different cognitive frameworks about frontier.
