Abstract: This article examines a core problem in the general field of borderland studies from the perspective of the Manzu /Manchu history: how do the changes in territoriality and identity interact with each other in borderland history. Thehistory and culture of the Manzu /Manchus has occupied a prominent status in the field of the Qing history during the past several decades. However，the Manzu /Manchus have often been overlooked in other fields，in particular in the fields of 20th-century China and the East Asian borderlands，in North American academia. This article，based on excerpts from my book entitled Remote Homeland，Recovered Borderland (University of Hawaii Press，2011)，analyzes the historical process by which the Manchus redefined their notion of homeland and reconfigured their ethnic and national identities in the late Qing.

摘要：  本文从满族的角度探讨边疆研究的一个中心问题:族群领域性(territoriality)的再定义与其身份(identity)的重塑如何互动关联。满族的历史与文化在近几十年来的清史研究中地位卓著。然而,在清史之外的其他领域,尤其在北美有关二十世纪中国或东亚史的学术领域,满族常常被忽视。本研究立足边疆研究,中外关系,及满汉关系领域的交叉路口,分析清末民初满族的故土认知变化与其对族/国的多元再定义的过程。
