different between hinterland vs rimland
hinterland
English
Alternative forms
- hinderland (dated)
Etymology
Borrowed from German Hinterland, from hinter (“behind”) +? Land (“land”), cognate to English hinder (“back, rear”) + land. First used in English in 1888 by George Chisholm in his work Handbook of Commercial Geography originally as hinderland, but the current spelling (following German) became more popular. The term is characteristic of a thalassocratic analysis of space (from the point of view of a nation, such as 19th-century Britain, with maritime supremacy).

- abstract of 2007, Lesley Jeffries, Textual Construction of the Female Body:
- This approach utilizes concepts such as naming, describing, contrasting and equating to access the hinterland between structure and meaning, and to map out the subtle ways in which texts can naturalise the ideology of the perfect female form.
