NATURE + CULTURE《自然与文化》(一年3期). Nature and Culture (NC) is a forum for the international community of scholars and practitioners to present,discuss,and evaluate critical issues and themes related to the historical and contemporary relationships that societies,civilizations,empires,regions,and nation-states have with nature. The journal contains a serious interpolation of theory,methodology,criticism,and concrete observation forming the basis of this discussion.The journals mission is to move beyond specialized disciplinary enclaves and mindsets toward broader syntheses that encompass time,space,and structures in understanding the nature–culture relationship. The journal furthermore provides an outlet for the identification of knowledge gaps in our understanding of this relationship.
