| 英文摘要: | In this essay I introduce "Moving Crops and the Scales of History," an experimental project that proposes a new method for writing global history. Crops are a very special type of human artifact or technological product: living organisms literally rooted in their environments. Explanation of their historical trajectories therefore offers special challenges and opportunities. Working at the intersection of global history, agricultural history, and the histories of science and technology, "Moving Crops" develops the concept of cropscape to explore the dual nature of crops as rooted and moveable things, reconnecting local and global in history. |
