Abstract

Abstract:This essay focuses on the observations of animal migration found in the journals of eighteenth-century Hudson's Bay Company naturalists Andrew Graham and Thomas Hutchins. In particular, it examines how the naturalists' locally specific yet globally engaged knowledge of migration depended on a composite of systems, places, and voices—on long-term access to the ecological richness and diversity of the Hudson Bay Lowlands, fur-trading work, information supplied by First Nations peoples, and natural history frameworks derived from Europe. It also considers how the mercantile and colonial forces that underwrote their understanding of migration threatened to disrupt the very ecologies they described.

“今天听到了一只雪鸟”：安德鲁·格雷厄姆、托马斯·哈钦斯和哈德逊湾迁徙观察

摘要：这篇文章的重点是在18世纪哈德逊湾公司博物学家Andrew Graham和Thomas Hutchins的期刊上发现的动物迁徙的观察结果。特别是，它考察了博物学家对移民的当地特定但全球参与的知识如何依赖于系统、地点和声音的组合——依赖于对哈德逊湾低地生态丰富性和多样性的长期了解、毛皮贸易工作、原住民提供的信息以及源自欧洲的自然历史框架。它还考虑了支撑他们对移民理解的商业和殖民势力如何威胁破坏他们所描述的生态。

期刊介绍： Studies in Romanticism was founded in 1961 by David Bonnell Green at a time when it was still possible to wonder whether "romanticism" was a term worth theorizing (as Morse Peckham deliberated in the first essay of the first number). It seemed that it was, and, ever since, SiR (as it is known to abbreviation) has flourished under a fine succession of editors: Edwin Silverman, W. H. Stevenson, Charles Stone III, Michael Cooke, Morton Palet, and (continuously since 1978) David Wagenknecht. There are other fine journals in which scholars of romanticism feel it necessary to appear - and over the years there are a few important scholars of the period who have not been represented there by important work.
