摘要：

自20世纪80年代彼得·斯特恩斯（PeterN.Stearns）提出“情感学”研究以来，情感史的理论方法不断更新、研究队伍不断壮大、实证研究不断深入。历史学家对情感的记录并非始于20世纪。早在古代史家的著述中，我们便可发现时人的各种情感。情感贯穿于古代史家对历史人物的刻画和军政外交的叙述中。这并非因为古人的情感更加充沛，而是因为情感本就是人类固有的特质。古代史家对人们言谈举止和历史进程中情感的记录表明，情感与历史书写的关系源远流长。但近代以来，随着历史学科学化的推进，情感与兰克史学“客观治史”的追求越来越难以兼容，以至遭到冷落。情感史的兴起与近现代史学的发展演进息息相关。它的兴盛不仅冲击了近现代史学传统对它的贬斥，也反映出当代史学的发展方向。

Abstract:

Since Peter N. Stearns proposed the study of “emotionology” in the 1980s, the theoretical methods of the history of emotions have been constantly updated, the research team has been continuously expanding, and empirical research has been increasingly in-depth. Historians’ records of emotions did not begin in the twentieth century. As early as in the writings of ancient historians, we can find various emotions of people at that time. Emotions permeated ancient historians’ depictions of historical figures and their accounts of military, political, and diplomatic affairs. This was not because the ancients had more abundant emotions, but because emotions are an inherent trait of human beings. The records of emotions by ancient historians in people’s speech, behavior, and the historical process indicate that the relationship between emotions and historical writing has a long-standing origin. However, since modern times, with the advancement of the scientificization of historiography, emotions have become increasingly incompatible with the pursuit of “objective historiography” in Rankean historiography and have thus been neglected. The rise of the history of emotions is closely related to the development and evolution of modern and contemporary historiography. Its prosperity not only challenges the traditional historiography’s deprecation of it in modern times but also reflects the development direction of contemporary historiography.
