活動介紹

The Event

耶魯研究生院’65屆已故校友、耶魯大學歷史學斯特林講席榮休教授史景遷的代表作《王氏之死》作為中國歷史微觀研究的經典之作，以一名普通農婦的悲歡還原了17世紀山東郯城的社會生態，堪稱“學術研究與歷史寫作的完美示范”。這種獨特的歷史書寫方式，深刻影響了一代歷史學者與寫作者，讓更多目光轉向浩瀚史料中的“小人物”身上——從北京大學中國古代史研究中心暨歷史學系教授羅新對北魏宮女漫長余生的追尋，到澳門大學歷史系講座教授王笛對成都街頭茶客的生動刻畫，正是這些微小個體的生命歷程拼貼出了生動且充滿溫度的歷史現場。

6月13日，耶魯北京中心“史景遷紀念系列講座”首期重磅邀請羅新與王笛兩位歷史學者，從《王氏之死》談起，結合各自的微觀史研究，探討史景遷的寫作對后世學界與普通讀者的深遠影響。

Jonathan SpencePhD ’65, Sterling Professor Emeritus of History at Yale University, vividly portrayed seventeen-century provincial China through the story of a local women’s attempt to leave her husband inThe Death of Woman Wang, a landmark work of microhistory. His distinctive approach has profoundly influenced generations of historians and writers. From Xin Luo, Professor at the Center for Research on Ancient Chinese History at Peking University, who traces the lingeringlife of a Northern Wei palace woman, to Di Wang, Chair Professor of History at University of Macau, who reconstructs thesocial world of teahouses in Chengdu, scholars have continued to illuminate broader historical landscapes through the lives of seeminglyordinary individuals.

On June 13, the inaugural lecture of Yale Center Beijing’sJonathan Spence Memorial SerieswelcomesXin LuoandDi Wang. Drawing on their readings of The Death of Woman Wang and their ownmicrohistorical research, they will discuss Spence’s influence on both scholarship and public history, and explore how microhistory can engage, resonate with, and inspire a wider audience.
