论文以民国代表性华侨著述的序、跋为切入点,分析阐述了民国南洋华侨文献出版热的背景和民国南洋华侨文献的出版特征,进而对民国公众认知中的“南洋观”进行了辨析.认为经济因素是民国南洋华侨研究热和出版热的内趋动力,经济话语贯穿南洋华侨研究文献始终.在“南洋作为常识”的出版热中,大众“南洋观”逐渐形成并呈现出流变性,即从我族中心主义转为基于经济互惠前提的平等合作、共存共荣的全新视角.目前呈散点分布状态的民国南洋华侨研究专题文献,亟待整合建构,由此发掘在大中国民族主义整一性视域下被遮蔽的辨证的“南洋”认知,有利于从源头破解历史上南洋华人与土著、中国与东南亚在各自的民族主义强势话语影响下形成的刻板成见,深化“一带一路”沿线国家国别史及华侨(华人)史研究.
Using prefaces and postscripts ofthe publications on overseas Chinese in Republican China, this paper examines why the publications on overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia became popular and the publications'characteristics. It also examines the view on Nanyang among the public. The paper argues that the economic factor is the internal driven force for research and publishing, and economic discourse became documents in these publications. Since most publications are focused on basic information on Nanyang, the public's view of Nanyang has been formed and changed, from self-centered ethnic view to equal and cooperative perspective based on economic bonds. The current publications on overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia in Republican China needs reexamination so that we can uncover the view of Nanyang under the shadow of Greater China' s nationalism. It can help us to stay away from the stereotype formed under nationalism discourse and deepen the research on national history and oversea Chinese history of the countries along "the Belt and Road".
