课程内容简介:本课程介绍二十世纪生物史编史纲领,主要为有意投身生物史研究和写作的研究生提供过去一世纪国际生物史学术界的重要图景、研究论题、重要领航者。生物史在科学史领域来说是一门新学科,主要围绕达尔文主义在19世纪的兴起而发展,二战后,从达尔文研究分支出对达尔文研究的反思,进入20世纪末,生物史与全球史相互交融,迈入全球视野下的生物史编写与研究。

Course description: This course aims to offer an informed introduction to the historiographical issues in writing and researching (mostly) twentieth-century biology. Through assessing the state of the field since its emergence in the nineteenth century, the course will provide students with concepts and tools to help make an informed contribution to the scholarly study in the history of biology. The centenary of the Origin of Species in 1959 prompted a flood of books on Darwin. The following decades saw the emergence of what became known as the Darwin industry, which focused on analyzing his published works, as well as his abundant notebooks and private papers. In the last decade of the twentieth century, history of biology took a global turn, broadening the temporal and spatial scope of the field.

先修要求:生命科学史

适用院系专业:不限

教学目标:本课程旨在通过选读指定参考书Handbook of the Historiography of Biology《生物史编史学手册》来让学生了解生物史近一个世纪以来的主要讨论线和争端,一方面提高学生对生物史编史学纲领的认识,为有意从事生物史研究的学生打好史学基础。

预期学习成效:通过学习生物史编史学,我希望学生可以有效策划在生物史领域的独立研究项目。Helps students foster new, original research in the history of biology
