摘要
藏学的发展轨迹始终与东西方文明的互动紧密相连。19世纪至20世纪,随着西方对亚洲地缘政治与文化探索需求的激增,西藏及西藏文明成为关注的焦点,英国藏学研究在这一背景下迅速崛起。文章聚焦1950年前英国藏学研究,通过爬梳学者学术成果,分析其社会背景与历史脉络,发现其兴起与殖民扩张、地缘博弈及宗教使命紧密关联;学者兼具殖民代理人与研究者双重身份;研究呈现跨学科、实证性及殖民话语特征;发展历经从探险记录到系统化学科的演进,形成涵盖语言、历史、宗教的多元体系,虽为藏学积累史料、开创方法,但存在“他者化”叙事局限。认为,首先,需辩证看待其贡献与殖民视角;其次,回溯其学术路径,不仅能厘清藏学学科的形成脉络,更可揭示跨文化研究中“知识生产与权力结构”的互动逻辑,为当代藏学的本土化、全球化发展提供镜鉴。
The development of Tibetology has always been closely linked to the interactions between Eastern and Western civilizations.From the 19th to the 20th century,with the increasing demand of the West for the geopolitical and cultural exploration of Asia,Xizang and its civilization became a focal point of attention,and British Tibetology rapidly emerged in this context.This article focuses on the early British Tibetology before 1950,analyzing the social background and historical context of scholars'academic achievements such as field notes and literature translations.The research has found that the rise of the early Tibetology in Britain is closely related to colonial expansion,geopolitical games,and religious missions,the scholars have dual identities as colonial agents and researchers,and their research presents characteristics like interdisciplinary,empirical,and colonial discourse,and its development has gone through the evolution from exploration records to systematic discipline,forming a multi-component system covering language,history,and religion,which though has accumulated historical materials and pioneered methods for Tibetology,but it was limited by the narrative of"otherization".The research suggests that the contribution and colonial perspective of early Tibetan studies in Britain should be viewed dialectically,and its academic path should be retraced to clarify the formation of the discipline of Tibetology and reveal the interactive logic of"knowledge production and power structure"in cross-cultural studies so as to provide insights for the localization and globalization of contemporary Tibetology.
