內容簡介
Herodotus's great work is not only an account of the momentous historical conflict between the Greeks and the Persians but also the earliest sustained exploration in the West of the problem of cultural difference. François Hartog asks fundamental questions about how Herodotus represented this difference. How did he and his readers understand the customs and beliefs of those who were not Greek? How did the historian convince his readers that his account of other peoples was reliable? How is it possible to comprehend a way of life radically different from one's own? What are the linguistic, rhetorical, and philosophical means by which Herodotus fashions his text into a mirror of the marginal and unknown? In answering these questions, Hartog transforms our understanding of the "father of history." His Herodotus is less the chronicler of a victorious Greece than a brilliant writer in pursuit of otherness.
作者簡介
弗朗索瓦·阿赫托戈(Fran?ois Hartog) 法國歷史學家,年鑑學派“新史學”代表人物。1946年生,法國高等社會科學研究院(EHESS)歷史學教授,任古典和現代歷史文獻學教席,同時也是路易·謝赫耐古代社會比較研究中心和歷史研究中心(CRH)的成員、世界權威歷史學術期刊《年鑑》雜誌的十五人學術委員會成員。1997年,弗朗索瓦·阿赫托戈成為歷史學家協會的六十名初始成員之一。 阿赫托戈深受法國人類學家克洛德·列維-史特勞斯(Claude Lévi-Strauss)和德國史學家萊因哈特·科澤勒克(Reinhart Koselleck)的影響。他始終關心的問題包括:關於文化邊界和他者的思考、時間和時間觀念的流變、古代史和對古代歷史的使用。他的思維方式和寫作方式常常是跳躍式的,從不局限於單一的歷史時期和地域,而是在時空中穿梭和捕捉流變。其主要作品有《歷史性的體制——當下主義與時間經驗》《出發去希臘》《希羅多德的鏡子》《燈塔工的值班室》《古代人,現代人,野蠻人》《尤利西斯的記憶:古希臘的邊界敘事》《歷史的證據》等。
