Identity and Empire in North-Eastern Siberia, XVII ? XX Centuries: Exploratory Research in the Archives

这个项目是由史密斯学院的谢尔盖·格列博夫（Sergei Glebov）提出的探索性研究小额赠款资助的，目的是确定档案和口述历史来源，确保档案的访问权，并探索与雅库特当地学者和社区成员合作的可能性。俄罗斯的一个研究项目，重点关注“从17世纪到20世纪前25年西伯利亚北部萨哈人的现代民族认同”的社会和政治发展。该项目建议为汇集越来越多的关于西伯利亚的理论和民族志的文献奠定基础，这些文献在俄罗斯后苏联时期的学术开放中得到了促进。该计划不仅建议将西方学者关于俄罗斯其他地区身份形成的理论应用于萨哈人，而且还建议对西伯利亚地区的民族历史研究进行补充，以便更全面地了解萨哈人身份的动态。此外，该项目还将与有兴趣在该项目上合作的当地学者和社区居民联系。

This project is by a Small Grant for Exploratory Research proposed by Sergei Glebov, Smith College, to identify archival and oral historical sources, secure access to archives, and explore the possibility of cooperating with local scholars and community members in Yakutia, Russia on a research project that focuses on the social and political development of "modern national identity among the Sakha people of Northeathern Siberia from the 17th century to the first quarter of the 20th century" The project proposes to lay the groundwork for bringing together the growing body of literature, both theoretical and ethnographic, on Siberia that has been facilitated by the openness of access in the post-Soviet period of scholarship in Russia. The PI proposes to not only apply the theories developed by western scholars on identity formation in other regions of Russia to the Sakha, but to complement that research with ethnohistoric research on this region of Siberia in order to gain a more complete understanding of the dynamics Sakha identity. In addition, the PI will make contacts with local scholars and community residents who have interest in collaborating on the project.
