（You Chenjun, Litigation Culture in Controversy: the Discourse of “Litigious Atmosphere” and Its Representational Reality in Qing China） 北京大学出版社2022年5月版，ISBN：9787301330074，装帧：精装，页数：440，定价：68. 00 RMB。 内容介绍： 在清代的地方志、官箴书、官府文书等许多不同类型的文献当中，常可看到声称某地区存在“健讼之风”的记载。上述现象，与学术界以往惯于强调的“无讼”乃是中国传统法律文化的价值取向和典型特征的说法形成了某种反差。 本书结合文本向度、话语实践向度和社会实践向度的不同视角，对历史文献中那些关于“健讼之风”的书写展开分析，将其视作一类充斥着权力关系的话语，认为此种话语所展现的更多是一种表达性现实，而不能被直接当作对其时历史社会现状的完全如实反映，追问主要是哪些主体基于何种目的对“健讼之风”进行书写，并对此种话语加以传播，以及为了强化“健讼之风”话语的某些预期功能，这些主体又运用了其他哪些话语来加以配合，采取了哪些在其看来有针对性的实践行动。 本书勉力追随瞿同祖先生所开创的那种研究范式的学术旨趣，在方法上践行法律和社会研究的历史进路，并不以单纯回到中国古代的历史现场去复原有关“健讼之风”的史实作为最终目的，而是重在带着社会科学意义上的理论关怀，去剖析关于“健讼之风”的史料记载背后所潜藏着的一些重要理论问题，希望从历史的维度，推进我们对于传统中国的法律、社会与国家的深入认识。 […]
