Abstract

ABSTRACT Historical ecology is a research program that in earnest has emerged within anthropology since the turn of the millennium. This essay offers a short outline of historical ecology and, on the basis of a review of four volumes published over the last decade, discusses several key issues in the historical ecological analyses of socio-environmental relations. It is argued that historical ecology (1) emerged as a concept in different, but related, discursive contexts, (2) coalesced in North American anthropology and anthropological archaeology, and (3) subsequently cross-fertilized and diversified in new academic milieus successfully addressing previously unconsidered research questions in novel ways.

历史生态学的成熟

历史生态学是世纪之交以来在人类学中兴起的一门研究学科。本文提供了历史生态学的简要概述，并在回顾过去十年出版的四卷书的基础上，讨论了社会环境关系的历史生态分析中的几个关键问题。作者认为，历史生态学(1)在不同但相关的话语语境中作为一个概念出现，(2)在北美人类学和人类学考古学中融合，(3)随后在新的学术环境中相互融合和多样化，成功地以新颖的方式解决了以前未被考虑的研究问题。

期刊介绍： Reviews in Anthropology is the only anthropological journal devoted to lengthy, in-depth review commentary on recently published books. Titles are largely drawn from the professional literature of anthropology, covering the entire range of work inclusive of all sub-disciplines, including biological, cultural, archaeological, and linguistic anthropology; a smaller number of books is selected from related disciplines. Articles evaluate the place of new books in their theoretical and topical literatures, assess their contributions to anthropology as a whole, and appraise the current state of knowledge in the field. The highly diverse subject matter sustains both specialized research and the generalist tradition of holistic anthropology.
