Internet historiography: Issues, Theories, and Methods Abstract %A 吴世文 %J 国际新闻界 %D 2018 %X 摘要 本文通过对杨国斌教授的学术访谈,探讨互联网历史学的前沿问题、理论面向与分 析路径。杨国斌教授认为,网页是社会的有机组成部分,记录、反映并改变社会。互联 网历史研究可以从网页、网站的层面出发,重视历史叙事和技术发展的历史性,并解 决历史分期、个人与社会关系的问题。尤其是,互联网历史研究需要摆脱宏大历史叙事 与微观历史研究的局限,从中观历史维度切入,通过研究案例或细小的现象,勾连大问 题。针对社会科学重理论轻描述的倾向,互联网历史研究有必要强调描述性叙事的重要 性,关注互联网中的鲜活个体及其使用经验,“深描”其网络生活与人的故事,并通过 个体经验与个案研究来洞察整体的、大局的社会变迁。互联网历史学的写作,需要建设 网络历史资料档案,包括网页、网站资料的档案,也需要口述史和网络自传的收集和整 理工作。
The article explores key issues, theories and methods of internet historiography through an academic interview with Prof. Yang Guobin. Yang argues that web pages are an organic part of the society, recording, re?ecting and changing society. Internet history research may start with Web pages and websites. Researchers should emphasize both historical narration and the historicity of technological development and balance the relationship between the individual and the society. In view of the limitations of macro-history narratives and micro-history research, researchers might opt for the writing of mid-picture history. Mid-picture history allows researchers to tap into big issues through case studies or concrete phenomena. More emphasis on narrative description may be a healthy antidose to the overemphasis on explanation in social science research. Narrative description gives voice to individuals and their lived experiences on the Internet, while still shedding on broad social changes. Methodologically, internet historiography may combine the building of internet archives with the collection and analysis of oral histories and individual autobiographies of internet use %K 互联网历史学 %K 中观历史 %K 地方性经验 %K 网络自传 %K 历史性 %K 历史叙事
