Information
Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung
The Circumpolar North covering vast Arctic and Subarctic areas, represents a politically, ethnically, culturally and socially diverse region of the world. Their common issues that characterize this region include remoteness and low population density (although, there are few cities in these areas too), a mix of indigenous and migrant groups who arrived to the region during the colonization process, growing economic and political significance of the “New Arctic” (Doel et al 2014) as a new resource frontier, an arena for geopolitical struggles and obvious effects of climate and environmental change. Thus, this course is designed as an introduction to the Circumpolar North and based on a mixture of anthropological and social science literature and white papers. It will start with a brief history of exploration and colonization of the region, continue with the present-day communities and populations including their living conditions, socio-economic development, infrastructures and resource extraction projects, and climate change effects, and finish with cultural revitalization movements and identities. While exploring these topics, we will move down from the global, to the national, to the local level, where our ethnographic attention will be focused. While many of our examples will come from Siberia and Russian the North, where our empirical research is conducted, we will strive for including case studies from North America, Fennoscandia, and Greenland as well.The course will have a mixed character: the first session will serve as the general introduction and provide the literature overview, while during the following sessions lectures on the main topics will be intermingled with the discussions of the relevant literature in the seminar format.
