环境史,所构建的是人与自然和自然史与社会的历史相关联的历史叙述的新模式。环境史的叙述对象,是在时间流变中存在着的人与自然之关系,因这对关系而一再演绎的故事则是叙述的重点。环境史的叙述并非只能由职业史家来承担,其他学科的学者以及业余爱好者在此亦可大显身手。环境史的叙述凸现了生态灾难或环境问题,从而带有强烈的忧患意识,并含有重估人类行为的重大寓意,其目的之一,是为了促使人们更好地关心被叙述的对象。环境史的叙述因对人类如何创造历史的考量以及对人类行为的重新评价,而具有了正当性和意义。
The history of the environment has built a new model of historical narration that is associated with the history of man and nature and natural and social history. The narrative object of environmental history is the relationship between man and nature existing in the changing of time. The story that is repeatedly deduced from the relationship is the focus of narration. The narration of environmental history can not be undertaken by professional historians, but scholars and amateurs of other disciplines can also show their talents here. The narratives of environmental history highlight ecological or environmental problems with a strong sense of urgency and contain major moral implications for the reassessment of human behavior, one of the purposes of which is to promote greater concern for the narrated subject. The narration of environmental history has its legitimacy and significance due to the consideration of how mankind creates history and the reevaluation of human behavior.
