Археология, экономика, социология Шпицбергена, вопросы международного права, образ архипелага в литературе, кино и изобразительном искусстве тесно взаимосвязаны и позволяют говорить о необходимости комплексного изучения архипелага в русле региональных обществоведческих и гуманитарных исследований (area studies). В данных вступительных замечаниях и в следующей за ними подборке статей раскрываются некоторые из аспектов предлагаемой новой научной дисциплины. История освоения Шпицбергена, его топонимия и культурные ландшафты функционируют на перекрестке геополитических интересов, пытаясь закрепить определенные национальные нарративы и при этом формируя и видоизменяя историческую память. The archaeological, economic, sociological and legal aspects of Svalbard’s history have been closely interrelated and have impacted the image of the archipelago in fiction, cinema, and fine arts. Our analysis of three Svalbard-related articles claims that these approaches should be combined under the umbrella of a new area studies discipline, “Svalbard Studies.” The toponymical and geographical material discussed in the articles illustrates the need for such a discipline. The history of discovery and exploration of Svalbard, its toponymy and its cultural landscapes develop on the crossroads of geopolitical interests and national narratives, shaping and changing the historical memory of the archipelago.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
