内容介绍
Reshaping the Frontier Landscape: Dongchuan in 18th century Southwest China (《重塑边疆景观:十八世纪中国西南的东川》)现于2018年3月由荷兰Brill出版社出版。本书以具备史学取向的景观学作为主要的研究取向,强调呈现为各类看似客观而自然的景观,实质包含着文化建构的历史,在其形式与内容下潜藏着主观的意识形态。作者以十八世纪滇东北东川府城(现云南省会泽县)为个案,讨论在清代国家建构过程中,来自不同地域、阶层、族群的各类群体如何想象、追忆并重塑西南边陲的空间与景观。东川以其丰富的铜矿蕴藏,在清代由一个内陆偏远所在转变为对帝国经济至关重要的地区。清帝国对此地加以军事征服,并强制推行改土归流并控制铜矿资源之际,重新形塑了此地的城市空间,原有属于本土族群的景观格局也被地方官员和菁英重新改写新近纳入帝国的边陲美景。不过,在帝国西南边疆的日常社会生活和经济活动中,这些官方菁英与在地土著和不同外来群体之间往往相互交集。在各方群体和族群的互动中,各自的景观叙事和追忆也彼此交迭,亦会呈现出相互竞争、相互渗透的景观与空间诠释。本书从王朝、地方、土著等不同面向思考出发, 逐层展现在十八世纪西南边陲小城中,不同的新旧人群、景观与城市空间之间是如何交叠互动的复杂历史过程。

Introduction
Fei HUANG, Reshaping the Frontier Landscape:Dongchuan in Eighteenth- century Southwest China,Brill,2018.3.
In Reshaping the Frontier Landscape: Dongchuan in Eighteenth-century Southwest China, Fei HUANG examines the process of reshaping the landscape of Dongchuan, a remote frontier city in Southwest China in the eighteenth century. Rich copper deposits transformed Dongchuan into one of the key outposts of the Qing dynasty, a nexus of encounters between various groups competing for power and space. The frontier landscape bears silent witness to the changes in its people’s daily lives and in their memories and imaginations. The literati, officials, itinerant merchants, commoners and the indigenous people who lived there shaped and reshaped the local landscape by their physical efforts and cultural representations. This book demonstrates how multiple landscape experiences developed among various people in dependencies, conflicts and negotiations in the imperial frontier.
