中国区域社会史在20世纪80年代甚至更早就已经萌芽生长,其中最重要的源头是社会经济史领域的区域性研究。区域性研究汇入蓬勃发展的社会史潮流之中,两者相互激荡、相互启发,在90年代中期催生了有别于地方史的区域社会史概念,不仅扩大了研究范围,而且获得了新的研究方法和问题意识。从事区域社会史研究的学者在区域社会史与地方史、整体史的关系上进行了诸多有价值的理论探索,或主以区域重构整体史,或主以整体区隔地方史。这两种取向都不能忘怀于整体史。以区域重构整体史,有助于解决宏大叙事之不足。以整体区隔地方史有利于解决研究的碎化、提升研究的对话空间。探寻中国区域社会史研究的学术定位体现了学界重新书写整体史的强烈愿望。
The social history of the Chinese region has sprouted even earlier in the 1980s. The most important source of this is the regional study in the field of social and economic history. The regional studies have been brought into the flourishing trend of social history. They sparked each other and inspire each other. In the mid-1990s, the concept of regional social history was different from that of local history. This not only widened the scope of the study but also gained new Research methods and problem awareness. Scholars engaged in the study of social history in the region have conducted many valuable theoretical explorations in the relationship between the regional social history, local history, and overall history, or they have mainly reconstructed the whole history with the region or the whole has separated the local history with the whole. Both orientations can not be forgotten in the whole history. Restructuring the whole history with the region helps to solve the problem of grand narrative. Separating the local history as a whole is good for resolving the fragmentation of research and enhancing the researching space for dialogue. The academic orientation of exploring the study of social history in the Chinese region embodies the strong desire of the academic community to re-write the whole history.
