In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, booming demand for natural resources transformed China and its frontiers. Historians of China have described this process in stark terms: pristine borderlands became breadbaskets. Yet Manchu and Mongolian archives reveal a different story. Well before homesteaders arrived, wild objects from the far north became part of elite fashion, and unprecedented consumption had exhausted the region's most precious resources.
In A World Trimmed with Fur, Jonathan Schlesinger uses these diverse archives to reveal how Qing rule witnessed not the destruction of unspoiled environments, but their invention. Qing frontiers were never pristine in the nineteenth century—pearlers had stripped riverbeds of mussels, mushroom pickers had uprooted the steppe, and fur-bearing animals had disappeared from the forest. In response, the court turned to "purification;" it registered and arrested poachers, reformed territorial rule, and redefined the boundary between the pristine and the corrupted. Schlesinger's resulting analysis provides a framework for rethinking the global invention of nature.
Jonathan Schlesinger is Assistant Professor of History at Indiana University.
本书(还包括Kim Kwangmin的新疆地方经济史新著等)或许可以称之为清史/全球史领域交叉的一种发展方向:从core到periphery,从global到local。简而言之,即跨境视角下边地的bottom up与帝国结成的纽带对边地社会和帝国结构的影响。
评分“自然”是清代发明的概念,应该思考之后的研究还能怎么由此发展
评分东北人爱貂,古而有之。读此书脑中浮现的是康熙王朝里老年陈道明一身貂装,俯瞰大好河山。
评分东北是满人神圣家园的表述恰恰不是beijing view,而是东北view,皇帝不过沿用了将军们的称法,而将军忧心的是ginseng盗采~打牲乌拉衙门的part解答了我部分的困惑,还想看更细的~~第三男神啊!
评分原本以为是一本有关毛皮捕猎和贸易的书,但毛皮只占三分之一,还有一些关于人参、东北珍珠和蒙古口蘑的论述。侧重环境生态构建,写作轻巧,但也有浅尝辄止之感。
《帝国之裘》是一部很有趣的作品,至少于我而言是这样的,无论是这本书简介里提及的新清史还是环境史,抑或是身为一名西方汉学家的作者本身,在此之前我都没有了解,尤其是对于环境史这个领域,我似乎从来没有想过以这个领域作为切入点去解读一段历史,可以说这本书给了我一种...
评分 评分 评分(为什么我要给读书笔记起个大象公会式的哗众名字...) 很易读有趣的一本书。Schlesinger围绕清朝三种珍贵货物(东珠、口蘑、海毛皮)的采集生产、贸易运输及管理控制等,来讨论多民族帝国的统治,边境的确立与控制,并由此切入相关环境危机及环境管理讨论。 我最感兴趣的部分...
