摘要

学者们已经从根本上摒弃了由自然决定的“自然边界”的概念,现在他们普遍同意所有的边界都是人类“人为”构建的。然而,有必要重新审视环境决定论的细微差别。我们分析了不同的自然特征和历史边界发展之间的关系,使用的概念和抬高沼泽的例子在中世纪和现代时期的东部低地国家。对于人类来说,这些时期的沼泽景观在这些相反的能力的时空变化中既充当了障碍,又充当了通道。在当地定居地区的规模上,大型沼泽景观具有强制机构的作用,作为分隔相邻社区的边界。这种强制在更大的空间尺度上是不存在的。从中世纪晚期开始,泥炭日益增长的经济重要性是两国边界划分的关键驱动力。外交风险计算和路径依赖分别解释了连续政策之间沼泽边界的空间并发性和长期持久性。

How Bogs Made for Borderlands: The Eastern Low Countries, c. 670 – c. 1900 ce
Scholars have radically turned away from the notion of ‘natural borders’ dictated by nature and now broadly agree that all borders are ‘artificial’ human constructs. However, there is a need to revisit environmental determinism in its nuances. We analyse the relation between distinct natural features and historical border development, using the notion of affordances and the example of raised bogs in the medieval and modern-period eastern Low Countries. For humans, bog landscapes in these periods functioned as both barriers and passageways through the spatiotemporal variability of these opposite affordances. At the scale of local settlement territories, large bog landscapes had the coercive agency to function as borderlands separating adjacent communities. Such coercion was absent on the larger spatial scale of princedoms. The growing economic importance of peat was a crucial driver for border demarcation at both scales from the late Middle Ages. Diplomatic risk calculation and path dependency explain the spatial concurrence and long persistence respectively of bog boundaries between successive polities.
