中世纪晚期旅行写作中的东西方

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.


这本书通过仔细研究欧洲人和东亚地区居民撰写或相关的中世纪游记,追溯了东西方文化相遇的历史。尽管这些文本通常被视为与同类的欧洲或中国文学一起被讨论,但本研究将提出考虑它们作为中世纪与外国人民相遇的共同文学。对于身处一个自觉认为自己是“全球”的现代历史学家而言,这些记录提供了一个宝贵的角度进入全球化之前的这个世界。特别是,这本书展示了东方和西方旅行者在面对差异时思考方式和行为方式的相似性,并且将会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。
