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.

评分引入了环境史、全球史视角后的新清史著作,已经不再只是满汉的问题。思想史以外,从环境史角度对“自然”的概念有贡献。而且解决我多年的困惑,就是东北人穿貂的问题>.<。
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
评分觉得思路与David Bello类似而没有超越前者
评分满清对本民族被汉化作出的无用功一种。
边缘往往是了解整体结构的最佳切入点。这一点,不仅对于社会观察是如此,对历史研究来说也是成立的。东北地区(“满洲”)虽然是满清皇室的发祥地,但无论是在清帝国的版图上,还是在清史研究中,可说都处于边缘的位置,而这一地区的环境史,则更是边缘中的边缘;然而,美国学...
