中世纪晚期旅行著作中的东西方

Na Chang | 2024 | ISBN: 1527576868 | English | 222 pages | True PDF | 5 MB

This book traces the history of encounter between Eastern and Western cultures by closely examining a body of medieval travel writings penned or related by Europeans and by inhabitants of East Asia. Whilst these texts are usually considered in the context of kindred European or Chinese literature, this study will make a case for considering them as a common literature of medieval encounters with foreign people. For the modern historian writing in a world that so consciously thinks of itself as ‘global’, these accounts offer a precious lens through which to enter into the world before globalization. In particular, the book shows that these narratives show the similarity in how Eastern and Western travellers thought and behaved in the face of difference, and will show that individuals often held somewhat different views, shaped by their particular experience or agendas, than those of their government or of local cultural convention.


这本书通过对欧洲中世纪旅行文献和东亚地区居民撰写的东方与西方文化相遇的历史进行密切考察,追溯了东西方文化交流的发展历程。尽管这些文本通常被视为与其所属的同类型的欧洲或中国文学相联系,但本研究将主张将它们视为一种共同的中世纪与外国人士相遇的文学作品。对于生活在这样一个意识中——即全球是“现代”历史学家的世界——中世纪世界的研究者来说,这些记载提供了进入那个时代的珍贵视角。特别是,这本书显示了东方和西方旅行者面对差异时所表现出相似的想法和行为方式,并将展示个人往往持有不同于其政府或当地文化惯例的观点,这些观点是由他们的特定经历或议程塑造的。
