摘　　要：本文基于作者的个体经历,论述了历史学田野调查的学科特点与实践方式,考察了田野调查对区域社会史研究的意义。本文认为,历史学田野调查结合了文献搜集、口述访谈和实地考察工作,强调文献的搜集和解读与历史过程的重建。田野调查对于区域社会史的意义不限于新史料的搜集。田野调查过程中获取的文献生成信息与文献关联信息对文献解读颇有助益。此外,田野调查还可以成为史实重建的起点。Based on the author’s personal experience,this article discusses the characteristics and approach of historical fieldwork and explores their significance to the study of regional social history.It is proposed that historical fieldwork combines the collection of documents,oral histories,and field investigations,emphasizing the collection and the reading of the written texts and the rebuilding of the historical processes.However,the significance of fieldwork to the study of regional social history is not confined to the collection of new sources.Information obtained in the field,especially that related to the generation of the texts and the inter-textual connections,may be instrumental to any interpretation of the texts.In addition,fieldwork may also provide a point of departure to rebuild the historical facts.
