摘要
历史学者总是臆断人类生活在自然世界之外。环境史质疑这种假设,并且坚持人类是自然的一部分,我们对自然施加着影响,同时自然也对我们具有影响。这种新的观念聚焦在三套相互作用的变化之上:地球的各种系统(气候、地理、生态系统)伴随时间的变化,自这些系统中谋求生计的生产模式的变化,以及文化态度的变化及其在艺术、意识形态、科学和政治中的表现。这门新的历史学在其方法上是跨学科的,而在其含义上是跨国界的。
Historians have too often assumed that people live outside the natural world.Environmental history challenges that assumption and insists that humans are part of nature,and that we have an impact on nature and nature has an impact on us.This new perspective focuses on three interacting sets of changes:changes in the earth's systems(climate,geology,ecosystems) over time,changes in the modes of producing a livelihood from those systems,and changes in cultural attitudes and their expression in arts,ideology,science,and politics.This new history is interdisciplinary in its methods and transnational in its implications.
