Rebels Who Do Nothing: Criticism, Doubt and Imagination
by Luo Xin
About This Novel
Professor Luo Xin has written many academic essays "related to professional reflection" in recent years, reflecting his reflection and understanding of history, historiography and historical work. These are similar to how he walked out of his study to measure history, discover China, and understand the world in his own footsteps. One purpose is to pursue the depth of history and try to discover and tell different historical stories. This book uses a series of cases to discuss issues such as the virtues of historians, the use and reflection of historical materials, the diversity of historical narratives and the reasons behind them, historical memory and forgetting, how to transcend nationalist historiography, the origin legends and myths of ancient nations, the imaginative space of historical research, the fluctuations in the western border of Chinese civilization, and the internal and external importance of empires. It questions traditional historical discourse in a historian's way and demonstrates a healthy attitude and method of viewing and interpreting history.
