Compared with the survey offered in the New Perspectives on Historical Writing nearly three decades earlier, historical practices around the world today have witnessed a remarkable change on several fronts. First, marked expansions occurred in such fields as gender history, history of memory, history of knowledge, and visual history, resulting in their noticeable transformation (for example, “gender history” to “history of sexuality” and “visual history” to “history of things”). Second, by exploring and presenting the “other(s)” in modern historiography, new areas are opened up in postcolonial history, global history, emotions history, and so on, which have prompted historians to reconceptualize their notions of time and space. Third, menacing global climate change and notable breakthroughs in various areas of modern technology have exerted an unprecedented impact on historical writing, exemplified by the new developments in environmental history, neurohistory, digital history, and animal history. Science and technology help historians to rejuvenate their research methodology and teaching pedagogy, but they have also demanded that historians acquire a better understanding of the interaction and co‐evolution of humans and nonhumans in history, or to take the nonanthropocentric and nonanthropomorphic approach. In sum, what lies ahead for historians and history students today is a multidirectional future, which is at once an opportunity and a challenge.

走向史学的多元方向：全球性，学科间性和后人类

与《历史写作新视角》中的调查比较将近三十年前，当今世界的历史惯例在几个方面都发生了显着变化。首先，在诸如性别史，记忆史，知识史和视觉史等领域出现了显着扩展，导致其显着转变（例如，“性别史”向“性史”和“视觉史”向“事物的历史”）。其次，通过探索和展示现代史学中的“其他”，在后殖民史，全球史，情感史等方面开辟了新的领域，这促使历史学家重新构想了他们的时空观念。第三，令人震惊的全球气候变化和现代技术各个领域的重大突破对历史著作产生了前所未有的影响，以环境史，神经史，数字史和动物史的新发展为例证。科学技术可以帮助历史学家复兴他们的研究方法和教学方法，但是他们也要求历史学家更好地了解人类与非人类在历史上的相互作用和共同进化，或者采取非人类中心和非拟人化的方法。总之，今天的历史学家和历史学学生面临的是一个多方向的未来，这既是机遇也是挑战。但是他们也要求历史学家对人类和非人类在历史上的相互作用和共同进化有更好的理解，或者采取非以人为中心和非拟人的方法。总之，今天的历史学家和历史学学生面临的是一个多方向的未来，这既是机遇也是挑战。但是他们也要求历史学家对人类和非人类在历史上的相互作用和共同进化有更好的理解，或者采取非以人为中心和非拟人的方法。总之，今天的历史学家和历史学学生面临的是一个多方向的未来，这既是机遇也是挑战。
