摘　　要：《中国前近代的出版、文化与权力:16-17世纪》一书以中国独有的科举考试为切入点,在文献实证的基础上,以晚明商业出版为研究对象,通过中西比较印刷史与新文化史范式,揭示印刷技术、出版文化与权力结构的互动关系,重点反驳欧洲中心主义对雕版印刷的贬低叙事。首先,从中西比较印刷史的角度,勾廊晚明书籍生产与销售,并对雕版与活字两种印刷技术展开经济学分析,反驳“偏汉学”叙事话语。而后,基于书籍史的跨学科性,引入“场域”“超附文本”等术语,论证印刷促进士商融合并重组政治与经济场域;指出超附文本拓展了书籍的语义空间,士商出版人可借此挑战官方艺文权威、扩张艺文公共空间。以上视野与方法为中国书籍史研究提供了重要参照。而将读者反应批评等理论预设植入史学研究,存在忽视真实读者、过度阐释等陷阱,亦是书籍史研究的天然困境。研究表明,晚明印刷业通过士商融合、超附文本重构等方式,形成了独特的文化生产机制,其社会影响力并不逊色于欧洲同期水平。Publishing,Culture,and Power in Early Modern China examines the unique civil examination system in late Ming China.Drawing on evidence from literary texts and focusing on the commercial publishing of the time,the book explores the interaction between printing technology,publishing culture,and power structures.By comparing the history of printing in China with new cultural history paradigms,Chow challenges the European-centric narrative that has traditionally downplayed the significance of block printing.From a comparative perspective on the history of printing,the book outlines the production and distribution of books during the late Ming,analyzing block printing and movable type printing from an economic viewpoint to challenge the"Sinologistic"narrative framework.Subsequently,based on the interdisciplinary nature of book history,the book introduces concepts like"field"and"hyper-text"to argue that printing has fostered the integration of merchants and scholars,while also reorganizing political and economic fields.It highlights how hyper-text expands the semantic space,enabling merchants and scholars to challenge official literary authority and expand the public space of literature.The study offers valuable insights for book history research.However,integrating readers'reactions and criticism into historical analysis presents certain risks,such as overlooking the actual readers or overinterpreting texts,both of which are inherent challenges in book history research.Studies indicate that the printing industry during the late Ming period,through mechanisms like integration of merchant and the reconstruction of hyper-text,established a unique cultural production system with significant social influence,comparable to that of Western contemporaries.
