長時段的回歸與公眾歷史：近來臺灣出版市場的「全球史熱」

近來臺灣的公眾歷史書寫市場有三種特色，臺灣熱、中國想像與全球史視野，其中又以全球史的著作既反映當代歷史學的研究趨勢；又能兼具有傳達給民眾世界觀與歷史意識的公眾史學功用。大衛．阿米蒂奇「長時段的回歸」的論點，似乎揭露了一個新的史學時代的到來，暗示大歷史與全球史更符合當前的世界公＼民的需求。作為一位世界公民，我們必須跳脫傳統的民族國家史觀，將自身的歷史放在世界史的脈絡下來看待。雖然這樣的趨勢在臺灣的學院裡尚未形成風潮，但卻已在民間的史學出版上，看出這類歷史書寫的時代特性。從《槍砲、病菌與鋼鐵》到《西方憑什麼》及《人類大歷史》的長銷，在在都說明了全球史書寫與公眾歷史的密切關連。

Recently, Taiwan's writing market of public history has three characteristics: Taiwan fever, Chinese imagination and global history. Among them, the works of global history reflect the research trends of contemporary history, and can also convey the world view and historical consciousness of the people. Public history function. The argument of David Armitage's the term ＂longue durée＂ seems to reveal the arrival of a new era of historiography, suggesting that big history and global history are more in line with the needs of current world citizens. As a world citizen, we must break away from the traditional national history of the nation and look at our own history in the context of world history. Although such a trend has not yet formed a wave in Taiwan's colleges, it has already seen the characteristics of this era of historical writing in the publishing market. The long-term sales of ＂Guns, Germs and Steel＂ to ＂Why the West Rules-For Now＂ and ＂Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind＂ all illustrate the close relationship between global history writing and public history.
