Historiography Of American Sport History

History of historiography,a crucial tool in history research field,not only can macroscopically overview the trend of history evolution,but also ensure not to neglect any detail in view points of historians.As “New History” extended its territory to “expending research and breaking the edge between various disciplines ”,American Sports started to draw a lot of attentions from historians.Moreover,as Sport became a new research field in history research,sport history began to attracted a increasing number of people,and evolved as “Historicize”?“Transformation of Sports”,and “Synthesis” phases.In addition to that,applying history of historiography to American sport history is able to make comparison between the perspectives of various researchers,then to restore the truth of history.With the assistance of history philosophy,researchers embarked on the criticism and analysis of factors,such as society and started to review the contribution of “trend of New History” to American history development,which is helpful and valuable to Chinese sport history research.Utilizing the literature method,the logic analysis and the interdisciplinary research method,under the historical philosophy idea,this paper takes the historiography as the tool to comb the American sports history.Firstly,"historian" and "historical theory" are the two basic dimensions of the development of American sports history.Around the dimension of "historian",the history of sports in the United States has gradually become a hot field of historical research in the process of continuous development,and the research involvement of sports history has gradually expanded.There are three stages: "Historicization","Physical education" and " Confluence ".By using the method of history of historiography,it is possible to study American sports history by comparing the different views of scholars of different times on the development of American sports in the process of sports development in the United States,so as to make clear why American sports history research is "like its history".In the dimension of "historical theory",the American sports history,led by Turner,Robinson and others,made the history of American sports go unattended from the beginning,and the rise of the school of " New History " finally occupied a place in the field of American historiography.Supported by "Historian" and "Historical Theory",influenced by the turn of world historical philosophy from spekulation to analysis in the early 20 th century,American sports historiography has undergone three stages: "Germination","Development" and "Reflection".In the "Germination" stage,American sports historiography mainly described the objective sports phenomenon in the past British traditional historiography.In the stage of "Development",American sports historiography has formed the characteristics of jumping out of sports itself and paying attention to religion,nationality and other factors.Finally,in the stage of "reflection",the emphasis is on criticizing and challenging the discourse mode of traditional sports historiography.Looking at the development of sports history in the United States,we have to say that the historical philosophy of the 20 th century has been running through the direction of spekulation to analysis.It is precisely because of this kind of coincidence with the reform of frontier historiography that American sports history has surpassed the former to be a much better role in the world of sports history.As an important tool in the study of history,historiography cannot only provide a macro overview of historical development,but also can provide the historical details for sports historians in different times.With the help of the theory of historical philosophy and the research method of Historiography,this paper analyzes and criticizes the factors of social history,and examines the contribution of "New Historical Tide" to the development of American Historiography of Sports History and finally explores the beneficial path for the study of sports history in China.
