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

该项目是由史密斯学院的Sergei Glebov提出的探索性研究小额赠款，目的是确定档案和口头史料，确保档案的使用，并探索与俄罗斯雅库特当地学者和社区成员合作的可能性，开展一项研究项目，重点是“17世纪至20世纪上半叶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文献奠定基础，这一文献的理论和民族志都得益于苏联解体后俄罗斯学者时期的开放获取。PI不仅建议将西方学者关于俄罗斯其他地区认同形成的理论应用于萨哈，而且建议将这一研究与西伯利亚这一地区的民族史学研究相辅相成，以更全面地了解萨哈认同的动态。此外，国际和平协会将与有兴趣在该项目上合作的当地学者和社区居民进行接触。

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.
