摘要：以海洋为中心的红海史研究方兴未艾。不同时期人群有关红海的知识是红海史研究的重要前提。18 世纪中叶到 20 世纪初，欧美学界的红海史研究发展出多样化的研究议题。20世纪 30 年代以来，受总体史与环境史启发，红海史研究的视角发生转换，红海从“历史背景”变成“历史主体”。20 世纪 90 年代之后，在全球史观影响下，学界对陆地史观的反思促进了“新红海史”研究。研究者基于全球、区域与国家三重视角提出了从“联通”到“流动”的红海史、作为“网络”的红海史、“红海人”的身份构建等问题，在创新红海史研究范式的同时，探索了红海史学科发展方向。

Abstract: Ocean-centered research on the history of the Red Sea is on the rise. Over the time，people's understanding of the Red Sea has become an important prerequisite for studies of the history of the Red Sea. From the middle of the eighteenth century to the beginning of the twentieth century，historical research on the Red Sea in Europe and America proposed a great diversity of topics. Since the 1930s，the perspectives of research on the history of the Red Sea has been inspired by the rise of general history and environmental history and pivoted its course. The Red Sea has transformed from the “background”to the“subject”for historical studies. After the 1990s，influenced by the view of global history，historians re-examined the land-based historical view，which gave rise to “New Red Sea History”. Based on the global，regional and national perspectives， researchers put forward issues such as historical studies from“connectivity”to “mobility”，proposing a “network”based historical approach. They also discuss the formation of Red Sea identity. While experimenting with new paradigms，researchers also explore new directions for Red Sea historical studies.
