This paper is concerned with patterns in past human behaviour, what they are, and how this relates to the detection of patterns in data by means of computation. Theorists have not given patterns the attention they deserve. Therefore it is far from clear what patterns are and to what purpose scholars may use them. This paper presents eight propositions on patterns which hold true for patterns found 'by hand' and patterns found 'by computation'. One such is that a pattern is discernible in behaviour when we subject it to the intentional stance, as the philosopher Daniel Dennett argues. Here behaviour is part of an intentional system. This paper's argument is that the patterns found 'by computation' too are part of an intentional system. To substantiate this claim this paper discusses two important examples of detecting computational patterns in the domain of the humanities. ARTICLE HISTORY

Rural history and the environment A survey of the relationship between property rights, social structures and sustainability of land useBas VAN BAVEL and Erik THOEN I. The environmental branch of rural historyIn recent decades, scientific interest in the interaction between people and the environment has been growing, not least because of acute environmental problems.Besides the research into the present interaction, this has also fostered research into its historical dimension and has given rise to a new academic strand. Environmental history emerged as a separate discipline from the late 1960s and interest in it continues to grow (McNeill, 2003: 15-21 sociology. This prevents environmental history from becoming more "scientific" and relevant, and is perhaps one of the reasons why the field has been less active and important than might have been expected. Similar problems apply to the now popular field of disaster studies. These to a large extent also deal with the relationship between humans and the environment, but focus more on the extreme events, where hazards or disasters threaten or strike societies (e.g. Blaikie, 1997;Bankoff, 2003). Natural hazards can result from exceptional events, including volcanic eruptions or earthquakes, but also from more common threats like floods. However, threats can also result from increasing tensions between humans and the use of natural resources, as is the case with erosion, for instance. Further, events which at first sight are exceptional and exogenous, like an earthquake, can have a highly diverse impact, a diversity directly linked with the ways in which humans have used the environment where the earthquake takes place and the tensions and risks inherent in this use.Economists and geographers increasingly suggest that wealth, knowledge and technology in themselves do not determine the diversity of impacts. Instead, it is rather the institutional framework that guarantees the use of this wealth, knowledge and technology in a way that makes (or does not make) a long-run contribution to a society's resilience (pioneering work by Ostrom, 1990). Sociologists, within the new sub-fields of disaster sociology and environmental sociology, and scholars in development studies, have even more clearly entered this line of thinking and have come to study disasters more as social rather than physical-natural occurrences, reflecting the institutional organization and inequalities inherent in society (Tierney, 2007; an early example: Blaikie et al., 1997). Some societies therefore are more vulnerable than others, and the investigation of this vulnerability poses questions similar to those posed in the field of environmental history more generally.However, in dealing with the topic of historical hazards and disasters, historians have again restricted themselves mainly to a descriptive approach, concentrating on reconstructing the events and their direct effects. And although the history of disasters

El predominio de la ganadería y la debilidad de la agricultura en la campaña de Buenos Aires a fines del siglo xvill y comienzos del xix suscitó la curiosidad de Azara, Belgrano, Vieytes, y de algunos otros de los espíritus más inquietos e instruidos de la época. En su Memoria de 1801 Azara analizó el rendimiento de ambos sectores y la comparación del resultado, altamente favorable a la ganadería, justificaba sin más las penurias de la agricultura '. Explicar el neto predominio de la ganadería en Buenos Aires, cabe subrayar, era entonces el objeto de su ensayo. Esa visión ha sido cuestionada recientemente por estudios que, basándose en la recaudación decimal, han puesto de manifiesto la importancia de la actividad agrícola ^. Se plantean de esta manera dos problemas: por un lado, establecer si la imagen tradicional de la pampa bonaerense se corresponde con la realidad o fue producto de la imaginación de los viajeros; por otro, averiguar si los diezmos pueden utilizarse como indicadores de la producción agraria. Nuestro trabajo tiene por objeto, en primer lugar, aclarar la aparente contradicción entre aquella representación tradicional y la que surgiría de las cifras decimales; y, en segundo lugar, mostrar que el diezmo, aun recaudado en moneda, aunque no sea un fiel indicador de la producción agraria, puede ser utilizado para conocer ciertos aspectos de ella'. Primeramente efectuaremos algunas consideraciones metodológicas relativas a la utilización de los diezmos para el conocimiento de la producción agraria; a continuación analizaremos la composición de los diezmos de Buenos Aires en la segunda mitad del siglo xviii; y finalmente, para verificar la pertinencia de la imagen tradicional de la pampa, estimaremos el área ocupada por cada sector a partir de la información por
