摘　　要：美国著名史学理论家海登·怀特于2018年3月5日辞世。为了纪念怀特在学术上的杰出贡献,《历史与理论》杂志在同年5月发布了一期主题为"《历史与理论》中的海登·怀特"互联网虚拟特刊。特刊将《历史与理论》中所有怀特曾发表过的文章和关于怀特的研究成果进行了清晰的编辑整理,这为学界重新回顾怀特的思想及其曲折的学术接受史提供了一次良好的契机。本文以特刊中的内容为基础,一方面着重分析怀特本人学术写作背后的思想倾向、风格特征及理论诉求;另一方面则基于学界对怀特的研究与怀特引发的争论,梳理出变动多元的接受情况。最后,笔者建议当下对怀特思想的研究模式或许应尝试转变,研究者不应再沉浸于用"专业的"方法获取"真实的怀特"形象,而应行动地将怀特视为对现实有价值的"实践的过去"。只有如此,怀特自身才有可能摆脱成为"历史的重负"的命运,并真正开启他所希冀的史学革命。Hayden White,a famous American thinker of historical theory,died on March 5,2018.To commemorate his outstanding contributions,History and Theory published a virtual special issue on"Hayden White in History and Theory"in May.The issue included all his contributions to the journal and responses,and the studies of White were also clearly edited and arranged,which offers a good opportunity for the academic circles to review White’s thought and the tortuous history of acceptance to his ideas.Based on the issue,the article focuses on an analysis of White’s orientation of thinking,style,characteristics and theoretical claims behind his writings,and sorts out the changing and diversified acceptances according to the studies of White and elicited disputes.Finnally,the author suggests a shift between models might be tried in the studies of White’s thought.Researchers should not obsess about"professional"mehtods to get an image of"real White".Instead,they should actively regard him as"the practical past"with value for reality.Only by that way,is it possible to free White himself from the fate of being the"burden of history",and really begin a revolution of history he expected.
