Jonathan Schlesinger is Assistant Professor of History at Indiana University.
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.
本书讨论清朝北部边疆的环境、商业与族群变迁,是一部新清史+环境史+消费史+物质文化史的研究。要讨论的主题大概可以概括为:1.边疆在清朝是如何被朝廷定义的?2.奢侈品消费与边疆环境资源的消耗、商业贸易网络扩张的过程;3.边疆族群与地域的差别如何制度化。作者分别讨论了因...

评分 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!
评分全球史,环境史,新清史结合的比较好的著作

评分在方法和课题上来看,可以说是David Bello新书的姊妹篇了。不过读起来要更加顺畅、明了。早先我就读过他的博士论文了,而且我自己也搞环境史,也做过东北旱獭毛皮贸易的研究,对新清史也有一点粗浅的了解,所以对我来说,除了提供了如何把博士论文改成专著的范本之外, 这本书并没有什么特别惊艳之处。谢健利用满蒙资料将对东珠、外蒙口蘑、乌梁海毛皮贸易的控制和在地环境的保护放在清自身的帝国和边疆特质下考察,也将其纳入到全球环境史的比较研究中去,认为清帝国的边疆环境危机和环境保护措施,跟同时期欧美国家有着类似性和全球背景context。不过这类近代早期史研究主要关注同时段背景下的比较comparision, 我自己的研究关注的是近现代的全球联系global connection,志趣还是有很大不同
评分好棒!环境史+新清史+全球史。一种超越nation-state的界限研究近代历史的方法,一种重新反思modernity的可能性!
