中医知识史研究术语跨学科研究,本专刊旨在跨学科的语境下,通过内引外联,尽可能地消解内外史之间的壁垒,实现中医知识研究的相互融通。对于这一研究来说应该非常值得展开的,征稿包括五个方向:
(一)中医知识的生产、流通和传承及其历史演进
(二)医史书写及其意义
(三)技艺、器具变革与中医知识的演进和再生
(四)全球史视野下的“他者"与中医知识的建构
(五)知识史脉络中的现代中医理论体系的形成
The purpose of this special issue is to facilitate interdisciplinary studies and to merge the gap between the internal and external approaches in the history of Traditional Chinese Medicine. By incorporating the history of knowledge in the study of Chinese Medicine, we do not only attempt to uncover historical facts, concepts, or theories, but more importantly seek to explore the socio-cultural processes of knowledge production, transmission, and circulation. We consider knowledge as situated practices, and Chinese medicine as diverse traditions (re)constructed in specific times and places. We believe that the focus on “knowledge" can help to shed new light upon the history of medicine and China and to understand how modern TCM comes into being in historical processes.
We are now inviting original research papers including but not limited to the following topics:
- Production, transmission, and circulation of medical knowledge in Chinese history
- Historiographies of Chinese medicine and their meanings
- Skills, instruments, and the (re-)construction of knowledge in Chinese medicine
- Global process(es) of knowledge construction in Chinese medicine
- The modern formation of “TCM" and its knowledge systems
