本文是著名全球史学家杰里·本特利教授的遗作,由其同事凯伦·乔莉补充完成。文章结合本特利的学术经历和主要著述,梳理了他探索全球文化史的思想轨迹。史学家是历史的缔造者,世界历史学者为历史研究提供了新视角和新方法。本特利对欧洲文艺复兴时期的人文主义者有深入研究,并将其道义关怀带入探索文化史和全球文化史的过程中。他推进了世界历史这一专门领域的发展,赋予文化史以世界维度;以跨文化互动为世界历史的研究模式,采用全球比较方法来避免欧洲中心主义;注重理论与实践的结合,兼顾学术研究、教育改革和教学活动。全球文化史关注参与跨文化交流的人类群体以及他们的信仰、价值、理念和动机。世界历史应当超越跨国框架和比较框架,形成一种包含多种历史视角的、全新的、多元文化的历史学。
This article is the legacy of Professor Jerry Bentley, a famous global historian, complemented by his colleague Karen Jolley. Combining with Bentley’s academic experience and major works, the article combs his thought path of exploring global cultural history. Historians are the creators of history, and world historians have provided new perspectives and methods for the study of history. Bentley had a deep study of the humanist in the Renaissance in Europe and brought his moral concern to the exploration of cultural history and global cultural history. He promoted the development of this special field of world history and gave the world a dimension to the history of the world of culture. He used cross-cultural interaction as a model for the study of world history, adopted a global comparative approach to avoid Eurocentrism, emphasized the combination of theory with practice, and balanced academic research , Education reform and teaching activities. The history of global cultures focuses on the human groups involved in intercultural communication and their beliefs, values, beliefs and motivations. World history should transcend transnational frameworks and comparative frameworks to form a brand new and multiculturalist historiography with multiple historical perspectives.
