Acclaimed historian Harry Harootunian calls attention to the boundaries, real and theoretical, that compartmentalize the world around us. In one of the first works to explore on equal footing European and Japanese conceptions of modernity -- as imagined in the writings of Georg Simmel and Walter Benjamin, as well as ethnologist Yanagita Kunio and Marxist philosopher Tosaka Jun -- Harootunian seeks to expose the problematic nature of scholarly categories. In doing so, History's Disquiet presents intellectual genealogies of such orthodox notions as "field" and "modernity" and other concepts intellectuals in the East and West have used to understand the changing world around them. Contrasting reflections on everyday life in Japan and Europe, Harootunian shows how responses to capitalist society were expressed in similar ways: social critics in both regions alleged a broad sense of alienation, particularly among the middle class. However, he also points out that Japanese critics viewed modernity as a condition in which Japan -- without the lengthy period of capitalist modernization that characterized Europe and America -- was either "catching up" with those regions or "copying" them. As elegantly written as it is controversial, this book is both an invitation for rethinking intellectual boundaries and an invigorating affirmation that such boundaries can indeed be broken down.

本尼迪克特·安德森(Benedict Anderson)在他的《比较的幽灵》(The Specter of Comparison)中，也警示了我们一种被排除在外的可能性的存在，这种可能性存在于欧洲之外的社会中，却暗示了帝国式的扩张，其现代形态因此也是经由资本输出及殖民主义的去疆界化(de-territorialization)被引入的。通过阅读何塞·黎刹(Jose Rizal)19世纪末的小说《社会毒瘤》(Noli me tangere)，安德森得以认识到马尼拉的花园是“怎样……笼罩在欧洲的姐妹花园形象的阴影之下的”。它们不复从即时性(immediacy)的视角被看待，而只能从一种既远又近的视角。小说家将这种重合命名为“比较的幽灵”。对于安德森而言，考虑到要将东南亚重新置于当代研究的外部，重合效应使得同时考量欧洲与其外部世界并指示比较性视角的建立成为必须，而在比较性视角中，比较往往是萦绕于心且令人思忖的一点。如同所有此类幽灵般的来者，其披着比较形态的幻影出现是为了动摇内部世界——欧美文明，虽然最初是这一内部世界的存在使得比较变为可能。换言之，欧洲的现代性已铭刻上了比较的“阴影”，虽然“原始状态”永远不能激活它的阴影来摧毁欧洲的现代性，但是现代性总是作出一副势将超越“原始状态”的姿态。 (查看原文)
