EAGER: Exploratory Research into Nationalism and Nation-Branding in Greenland

这是一个探索性的、渴望的研究项目，将让COPI对格陵兰的两个地点--努克和库卢苏克进行为期两周的访问，以便为更广泛的实地研究奠定基础，这些研究将通过格陵兰的国家建设努力，特别是其国家品牌活动--给格陵兰打品牌，来探索格陵兰的独立运动。探索性工作将在每个地点进行一周，在此期间将开始与当地官员和社区成员接触。工作重点将放在解释拟议的研究和收集当地反馈意见上，这些反馈将纳入长期研究设计。在努克，将与政府官员、打造格陵兰品牌倡议的成员、政党和当地团体开始讨论长期研究。在库卢苏克，将就这项工作的拟议研究和社区批准与社区官员和领导人展开磋商。这次初步访问还将向副本介绍有关独立、民族主义和国家品牌的问题，因为它们出现在格陵兰的地面上。这些初步工作将共同为一项全面的长期研究计划奠定基础，该计划将审查将格陵兰打造为构建和传播国家文化和认同的媒介，特别是通过政策倡议、经济冒险和媒体场所，以及它们在日常生活中的展示和体验。这项急切的研究为长期工作提供了基础，通过审查格陵兰的国家品牌努力，检验文化和认同作为经济发展和土著和少数群体政治认可的工具的作用越来越大。正如ASSP小组和本计划所承认的那样，如果没有格陵兰人的事先洞察和批准，拟议的挖掘项目是不可能的，而这将通过这种探索性的急切研究来实现。这项热切的研究的一个关键目标是将格陵兰人民的观点和利益纳入长期研究设计。将与不同的政府和非政府团体建立联系，并将探索使这项研究与学术受众和土著社区都相关的途径。

This is an exploratory EAGER research project that will provide the CoPI with a two-week visit to two sites in Greenland, Nuuk and Kulusuk, in order to lay the foundation for extended field research that will explore Greenland's independence movement through its nation-building efforts, particularly its nation-branding campaign, "Branding Greenland." Exploratory work will consist of one-week in each location during which contact with local officials and community members will be initiated. Efforts will focus on explaining the proposed research and receiving local feedback which will be incorporated into the long-term research design. In Nuuk, discussion of long-term research will be initiated with governmental officials, members of the Branding Greenland initiative, political parties, and local groups. In Kulusuk, consultation will be initiated with community officials and leaders about the proposed research and community approval for this work. This preliminary visit will also introduce the CoPI to the issues surrounding independence, nationalism, and nation-branding as they appear on the ground in Greenland. Together these preliminary efforts will provide the foundation for a comprehensive long-term research plan that will examine Branding Greenland as a vehicle through which national culture and identity are constructed and broadcast, particularly through policy initiatives, economic ventures, and media venues, and their exhibition and experience in everyday life.This EAGER research provides the basis for long-term work that examines the increasing role of culture and identity as tools for economic development and political recognition by indigenous and minority groups, through an examination of Greenlands nation branding efforts. As was recognized by the ASSP panel and the Program, the proposed DIG project is not possible without the prior insights and approval of Greenlanders which will be achieved through this exploratory EAGER research. A key goal of this EAGER research is to incorporate the perspectives and interests of the people of Greenland into the long-term research design. Connections with various governmental and non-governmental groups will be established and avenues through which this research can be made relevant to both academic audiences and indigenous communities will be explored.
