摘要: 在学术写作中,历史主义是一个常让人容易混淆的概念。不同思想家对其做了或严格、或宽泛的定义,而这一概念的意义在当今已经逐渐宽泛化,可以泛指所有将事物置于一定时间和地点去具体考察的研究方法。新历史主义批评家格林布拉特对于脱离具体语境的抽象理论的建构持有怀疑态度,而这实际上与宽泛意义上的历史主义在精神上是一致的。虽然多有人批评格林布拉特不愿考察历史演变中的不同阶段间的区别,但实际上其对历史演变也有着自己的考虑。虽然格林布拉特本人不愿新历史主义与历史主义发生联系,这二者却是不能分割开来的。

Abstract: Historicism usually appears as a confusing concept in scholarly writings. Several thinkers have made definitions of this term in both its strict and loose senses, and it is now usually used in its loose sense — it can refer to any methodology in which a certain entity is examined by placing it in a specific time and place. Stephen Greenblatt's major works share the spirit of historicism in its loose sense in that he has put into question the possibility of building an abstract theoretical system independent of time and space. Greenblatt was accused of having shied away from examinations of the differences between different stages in historical evolution, yet he has taken into account how things change in history as well — his New Historicism can by no means be separated from historicism in spite of his reluctance to link the two.

Key words: historicism, Stephen Greenblatt, New Historicism, historical evolution
